Guys I need help myself. 07 ram 4.7 flex fuel vin p. 4 plug harness. I cant find a timing kit with the correct cam sprockets and chains. All I'm seeing is 106 tooth chains. Mine only has 91, or 90 o cant remember. Any help would be greatly appreciated
JTEC VS NGC wrong vin
Brand new to this site. Bare with me if this is something that has been gone over before. Here is the back story before my question.
I have a 2002 Dodge Dakota that I bought brand new in September of 2001. Last year I blew a head gasket so I had heads rebuilt and changed the timing chains and all of the sprockets including the reluctor wheel on passenger side. Before I bought timing chain set I checked my VIN and found the 8th digit/number is "N" which apparently is for NGC (Gen II). So according to the parts warehouse that's the set I needed. After installing all of the components and reassembling everything I went to fire it up and it would not start. I tore it all down and re checked everything again (timing marks all correct) and reassembled again. Still would not start. OBDII code showed camshaft sensor error. I replaced that. Compression was good. Had spark and fuel. Frustrated, I gave up for a while. After doing some research now, I believe I have a JTEC motor with an N in the VIN. The ECM has (3) 32 pin connectors. Has anyone else come across this? I already threw away the old reluctor wheel. (passenger side cam sprocket) so I can't compare them. I haven't tore back into it yet but I'm sure that is the issue. Could I have damaged anything by trying to crank it over with wrong cam timing sensor on it?
