Just a short video celebrating the completion of a big repair job on my Ram with the 5.9L Cummins 24V engine. I had the front of the engine taken apart to replace the front crankshaft seal (I used a Timken 39803 seal and Cummins 3933261 dust seal), and while I was in there I replaced the power steering pump with the later style pump and reservoir from the 2008+ Rams (the ZF-style pump - I used a Cardone 96-1008R pump and 3P-37161 pulley). Lastly, I replaced the serpentine belt, tensioner and idler pulley using a Gates HD kit (included the Gates HD belt K081264HD, tensioner 38285 and idler pulley 36315).
The repair was spread out over a week and a half, as I could only get to it as I had time in the evenings or on the weekend. I did also have to order the special Loctite 545 (Permatex 54540) and Permatex 25228 The Right Stuff sealants needed to complete the front crankshaft seal replacement in the front timing cover.
