- 1). Drive your Dodge Durango up onto ramps or lifts so you have room to work as you pull out the oil pump. You could also use a jack, but make sure you brace the front wheels so they don't roll. In addition, set the emergency break firmly into position so the car doesn't roll.
- 2). Remove the engine front cover then take out the oil pan. It is under the engine and looks like the bottom of the motor. Take off the timing chain cover and the tensioners.
- 3). Unscrew the oil pump nuts and bolts with a wrench and pull out the oil pump itself. Clean the surrounding cables with water and old rags to avoid corrosion from salt and other road maintenance substances as well as dirt.
- 4). Insert the new oil pump and tighten the bolts to 21 ft. lb. Reinsert the timing chains and tensioners.
- 5). Install the timing chain cover and the oil pan. Turn on the engine. Check for leaks where you installed the new oil pump for your Dodge Durango.
