Default Timing cover seal

I noticed my timing cover/balancer seal is leaking. I plan on changing the seal over my Christmas break. I'd like to do it without tearing down to much in the engine bay. Wish me luck I'm probably going to need it.

Get a new timing chain while you are in there. How many miles does your ram have on it?

I've only got 55k on the motor. Not to worried about the timing chain. Just want to stop the oil leak.

I started this morning at 5:00 am, I finished up at 8:30 am. It wasn't that bad, I pulled the fan shroud, fan and dampner. Popped the old seal out tapped the new seal into place and reassembled.
