I have every tool to do this job, when I started it man oh man it turned into a nightmare (not knowing it has ribbets) I tried my ballpoint press with my impact, and nothing. I wanted to give up then I seen ur video had it out and press it in 5 mins thanks bud!!
I'm soon glad I found this video! I've been fighting this lower ball joint for 2 days,broken 2 special tools and it after seeing this it came out in less than 5 minutes 😅😂😢
Hey I’ve got an issue without any engine codes besides a random multiple misfire. I’ve replaced plugs and coils already. There is a strong odor of gas from the driver side of the car. Yet no leaking gas on the ground. When I start the car it idles normal and after about20-30 seconds it starts the misfire. Could this be the fuel pump or something fuel related?
Why did the differential need swapped? I'm asking because I own a 2013 durango and I'm having some vibration issues and I'm wondering if it may be a differential issue.
I changed all mine on a 2004 Tahoe A few months ago but I still hear Clicks and pops every once in awhile I used after market should I use a name brand or OEM.??
I would put this at about a 7/10. It wasn't too bad, and as far as tools, I would definitely recommend using 2 jacks to make sure you can maneuver it more easily since it's heavy. It took about 2.5 hours on the ground from first bolt out to complete.
Hello and thanks for responding. The valve cover on the left side as your sitting in the car has an e14 bolt a few inches back from the front of the cover. Does it need to be removed? It's torqued so tight I can't get it loose. Once again, Thanks
I believe it does. Apologies for the late reply. For anyone who hasn't fixed it to this point I remember using a short extension and mini breaker-bar to get it loose. Not sure if you still needed it, but hope It helps!
If it’s not the same then would you mind posting a part number? I’d like to do this with my R/T but want to make sure the axles on the 5.7 cars fit into the differentials off of the 6.4 cars. Great video and thanks for the help!
It shoupd be easy once you have it free, the back tires will be spinnable if you lifted from the lift points. So i recommend connecting a wheel, then spinning it until the holes line up on the driveline and tightening that down
Valve covers were leaking, oil burning smell once car was up to operating temp, smoking under the hood on longer drives from oil burning on exhaust manifold.
Yeah theres not much out there on em. Actually did this one cuz service manager sold the job without looking it up. Made it an adventure but glad i can help people out. I just need to post more especially since i have my own business now lol
There is almost 0% info online on this job for the m272. I did find 1 service manual which called for Loctite Sealant 5970, so no conventional gasket? My issue is 1-3 spark plug tubes leaking & there is absolutely zero info anywhere on this which amazes me. I have no weeping from vc, but coils were soaked when going to do my plugs. Any help much appreciated, & thanks for being the only one to acknowledge that the m272 actually gets this repair
No, just using gasket maker, I did make sure that i sealed by the spark plug holes as well since there is contact points there. And no problem. Im glad this helped you!
Theres a gasket there, i prefer right stuff for valve covers, ive had better luck with that since it fills in imperfections better than a factory gasket
