    Rear diff oil? LSD fitted?

    Thanks for the reply. Off to get oil on tuesday. Already had the fill plug out. Oil didn’t look the healthiest hence the change. But she is nearly on 200,000. Had some real TLC in the 2 years i’ve owned it. I still absolutely love it!

    R26 Air bag recall info

    Hi all. Through a random conversation with online customer care i have found out my 2003 has an open recall on for the passenger side air bag inflator. Sadly here in the UK Dodge / Ram dealers who can do the recall are rare. The parts even rarer. I wondered if anyone had done this work...

    4.7 Only revs to 3500 p0315, p0335, p0300

    Further into the rabbit hole we go. The timing is being done as we speak, although we have a suspicion the engine is not the original. Crank reluctor has been confirmed as 32 tooth, 4 plug pcm. Passenger side chain tensioner was fully out and the chain still seemed a bit slack. Fingers...

    Stretched timing chain?

    Timing kit is being done as we speak. The passenger side was fully extended on the tensioner and still had a bit too much slack. So hoping that is my issue running out of sync with the crank, also been having P0 code stating something similar although i can’t remember it. Although my engine...

    Timing kit disclaimer

    I now know what the disclaimer is for. Its for the difference between the JTEC and NGC engines. Identical timing kits, depending on supplier apart from the tone wheel on the cam sprocket. Seems obvious now i know.

    Timing kit disclaimer

    More advice from the experienced engine builders required. Why do the timing chain kits have a disclaimer to compare the cam sprockets? Whats the potential differences? And why could they be different? Thanks.

    DNJ Timing Kits

    Anybody able to tell me if the DNJ timing chain kits are any good? I’ve found a supplier on ebay in Holland who ship to the UK I’ve messaged the seller my vehicle details to confirm its the correct kit / give me the link to the correct kit. As they have a few listed...

    Which timing and international suppliers?

    Stupid question maybe, how do you knows its the normal one??? Do you (does anyone) know the OE part number? Struggling to find one in the UK and if I order from abroad I need to know 100% I am getting the right kit. Thanks

    Which timing and international suppliers?

    Hi, I have a 2003 4.7 and I am after a complete timing kit. I have been advised that there are two versions of this engine, i’ll say a normal version and a high output version. How do I tell which version mine is? Can anyone recommend a good parts supplier either in the US or Europe who do...

    Stretched timing chain?

    Oil was good, no signs of contamination. Hasn’t used a drop of water or oil whilst i’ve had it. Battery and charge voltage are all good. Terminals are all good. Starts fine and sits a week between runs with no battery drain. Serpentine belt is brand new. Gonna do the timing and oil pump...

    Is my MPG good?

    That my friend is superb. I fully intend to brim the tank and work out my MPG manually over the space of several fills. Also, presuming i get it all sorted and running right i have every intention of driving it the 320 miles (640 round trip) to Dorset Steam Fair this year.

    Is my MPG good?

    Great MPG isn’t a goal, i’m just curious. Wouldn’t have traded the 1.7d van for it other wise. I work away Monday to Friday so don’t do many miles. Drive to work Sun / Mon, home again Fri / Sat. As i’ve mentioned in other posts, it’s not quite running right and with the help of the forum and...

    Is my MPG good?

    Given that it’s not quite running right it seems reasonable from what i have read. I don’t drive like a lunatic but not particularly gentle with it.

    Is my MPG good?

    Had a google through the forum and see lots of different MPG figures being given. Looking to get a guide to see if mine is any good or could be better. It’s a 4.7 2003, 194,000 on the clock. Most trips I do are to work and back. Approximately 15 miles each way, few roundabouts, bit uphill...
