Hi

This forum seems to be more active. Anyhow I have a 2000 Durango with 5.9 and 46RE transmission, bought new and only have 55K miles. Serviced it once back at about 20K miles.

Anyhow, I had purchased a few years back the mopar re-usable bonded ruber(or what ever it is) gasket. PN 2464 324

My question, it didnt come with any new bolts so I assume I can reuse the existing bolts? Or do I need longer and if so does mopar have the bolts?
The stock bolts for hte pan are 5/16-18 .625"


Also should I tourque to the FSM spec 14 n-m (125 in-lbs)? I dont know if that spec is for a pan using the gasket or the RTV?

I dont want to screw anything up and using a gasket appeals to me since it will make it less messy to service in the future( no RTV scrapping) sinceI have B&M drain plug installed.

Any input on this would be appreciated.

BTW I did do a search and came up empty.
Thanks!

 

Not apples to apples, but we use the blue felpros on everything on the camaro, and I don't think anything gets torqued, just "snugged" and loktited. Otherwise the gasket will collapse on itself.
