I would like to see a diagram of the timing chain configuration on the 4.7 litre Dodge Ram 1500. I am installing all new chains, guides and tensioners and need to see that I have everything in the proper place and the timing marks aligned properly. Can you help?

see pic however after all chains ae installed idler gear must have .004-.010 endplay or it has to be replaced. You really should have a manual to follow instructions on this as well.

any autoparts store can get them or order them or you can rent one for 7 days on site here then print out what you need.
