Ram 1500 Timing Chains, Gears & Covers

Inside an internal combustion engine, there are dozens of moving parts interacting with each other while providing an efficient and reliable consumption of fuel. Their synchronization is a great concern, and there is an array of dedicated components serving that purpose. The timing chain and its gears are the examples. While joining the crankshaft and the camshaft(s), they provide the connection between the engine rotating assembly and its valvetrain, and thus allow for a correct stroke sequence and perfect timing of the valves.

Although the timing chain is generally much stronger and way more durable than its counterpart in the form of a belt, it still has a limited lifespan, and your Ram 1500 will inevitably need its replacement. Although the application of a chain is associated with a generally higher cost of the engine and its more complicated design, this type of timing equipment can be found in a vast majority of modern vehicles, including your 1500 model. If you need a new chain or sprockets, feel free to browse through our Ram 1500 timing gears, chains & covers to end up with the most reasonable offering.
