Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Valve and Timing Adjustment

[Monroefiredog1]

Hi all,



I was just wondering if anyone knows of the best way to adjust the timing? Do you have to use a timing light? If not what is the procedure? And if your timing is out of adjustment, how much does it affect the running of the eng? Also I think it is about tim e to adjust my valves, does anyone have any imput on this procedure that makes it easier? Thanks in advance for any help. .

I did a search that led me to Genos garage. There was a very good step by step there

Ask around. We guess my timing is at ~15° but could be wrong... check around! That's all I can advise to ya!

Look up TSB 18-10-94 Rev A. at //www.dodgeram. info/tsb/1994/18-10-94a.htmr

for instructions on checking and setting the timing. It includes a list of the special tools needed for the job.



My truck is supposed to be set at 12. 5 degrees, when I checked it, it was set at 11.

I raised it to 15 degrees and am satisfied with the results.
