I’ve got a ‘98 Dakota that has been leaking oil since who knows when, since I had it. Low use truck but still, tired of smelling, and seeing, burnt oil. Thank you for taking the time. I wasn’t sure if my gaskets were shot but man, seeing how clean the top of your valve cover is… I’m a bit ashamed 😂.
@@csautomotive12 I should clarify that there is some old oil specifically around the valve cover. No, I don’t have leaking oil underneath the vehicle. It is a fantastic truck, manual transmission. I plan on keeping it as long as I can. Only 80k miles for a 98 isn’t bad at all. Thank you for the video again!
I have a 2000 Dodge Durango and I'm trying to figure out where the vacuum lines are on that wall to go one in the back of the motor tell me where they go day
Just did this on my 3.9L V6 (same engine with 6 holes instead of 8), and used four 1/4x20 studs, 1 1/2 or 2 inches long, to thread into the holes, two inner and two outer, to hold the gasket in place while reinstalling the valve cover. Once the other regular fasteners are in place, remove the studs and finish up. Only thread the studs in about 2 or 3 turns - do not seat them.
Great job. Had to see you do it.
Now I can.
Thanks. Good luck to you!

Yeah it’s mostly like a good place to start. When they get old they all leak. You could have other leaks also. Hope that’s helps.

That sounds like a sweet truck! Really low miles. It’s hard to come by good little trucks these days. Take care of her!

I’m not sure what lines you’re talking about. Does it go into the intake?
42 the back and the other two to the side of the front do they want I need to know that runs to the back
