RAM 2500 Van V8-5.9L VIN Z (1997)
CAUTION: Do not force valves or plugs into place during reassembly. If the valve body bores, valves and plugs are free of distortion or burrs, the
valve body components should all slide into place easily. In addition, do not overtighten the transfer plate and valve body screws during reassembly.
Overtightening can distort the housings resulting in valve sticking, cross leakage and unsatisfactory operation. Tighten valve body screws to
recommended torque only.
NOTE: Follow steps in order shown for proper valve body assembly.
