Message:
I pulled into the drive way last night and what did i smell? Coolant!!!! looked under the front of tmy truck and it was pouring out. All I could see is it dripping of the timing cover gasket...
Any one got the part # for the replacement?
And how long did it take to pull?

I doubt seriously that any monkey who can turn a wrench will have much difficulty with the swap.
As far as a part#....how many cubes you got and what year? Check out your local parts store or Dodge parts dept.
What I want to know is just how long these things should last on the R/T as I have just exceeded the 60K mile marker and really don't want to use my extended warranty(despise stealerships).
Guess I should just go ahead and get a Hi-Flow pump beforehand and swap at the first sign of trouble.

I have 52,000 on my 5.2L 1998 . Thi ssucks to because I don't have another car yet and the rest of my parts for my truck are on order. Now I have to tear into and then tear into again. Waist of valuable time.

Mine lasted around 110K on my 318. Wasn't the worst thing to change out.
