I have an 06' Dakota with the 3.7L engine and I'm going to replace the water pump. Can anybody answer, with 100% certanty, the following questions? Please, if you don't know your answers to be fact, then please do not answer. Sorry if that seems rude, I would simply rather avoid those answers :-).

1. Bolt Torque specs?
2. Bolt tightening pattern?
3. Are there any bolts that require thread sealer?

 

Have you searched the Service Manual available in the sticky? if not, go download it and check section 7-15 and 7-41

 

Do you have a link to a free manual? Everywhere I have looked charges :-/.
