Does anyone know the part # for the OEM flexplate for a 01 Ram with the 5.9L? I've been trying unsuccessfully to find it on some of the OEM part sites, but can't find it listed anywhere. I'm finding aftermarket ATP flexplates, but I'd prefer to go with OEM as the ATP ones seem to get lousy reviews.

Also, does anyone know the torque specs of both the the bolts that bolt it to the crank as well as the bolts that bolt it to the torque converter? I've tried finding this in the service manual, but searching through it, I'm not seeing any information about the flexplate in there other than a few references in some of the sections where it offers advice on fixing a problem. If anyone knows where more information is in the service manual, please point me to that section.

 

OEM part number from the Dodge Truck parts manual for a 1996 5.9L Magnum engine flexplate is 52118552. Torque specs should be in the service manual.

 

I find 4863841

 

Thank you! That seems to be it.

Do you know where I may find this in the service manual? I tried looking under the transmission section, then I searched for "flexplate" and didn't come up with anything useful.

 

Right here in this glorious link.

I have a copy of the service manual, I just can't find the torque specs in it.

 

Oh yup, I read that wrong. >.>

 

Looks like the flexplate to crank bolts are supposed to be torqued to 55 ft lbs. The manual calls it a flexplate in a few places, but then calls it a "driveplate" in other places which is what kept me from being able to find the specs.
