What J Body said

Dodge kit has gasket, two o rings and the seal.

I wouldn't do the job without all of them. Too much work for it to still leak.

I got all the orings and seal and gasket and install sheet. every part to do the job right just NO dealer mark up

It's for shifting the front axle in for 4WD, operating all of the heater and A/C controls, operating the cruise control and I think it's used for something to do with the wastegate on the turbo, to name a few. And the question is not stupid, that's how you learn.

Took me about 3.5 hours. But really took my time and was careful.

What a job. There was some swearing going on

Drove it and no leak what so ever.

Didn't drain or remove powersteering pump. Had plenty of room to get it on and off the vaccum pump.


Looks like with some research and your own skill you paid yourself about $300.00 per hour. Nice feeling ?
