    01 durango slt 5.9

    @grouch i see that however never heard of this being such an issue on a v8 equipped model. maybe there was some issue with the internals on the v6 that was causing it to happen more often. used to be hardcore dodge we used to regularly ask this dakota guy if he did his chain yet. regardless...

    New Oil Pan gasket leaking?

    might have tweeked the pan a bit. when i do an oil pan or trans pan i use rtv on the threads. rtv will generally add enough resistance on a bolt that it wont back out. green locktite should work aswell as its the lightest of them but as rtv usually works for me and your already using it so...
