REMOVAL & INSTALLATION
Except 4.0L SOHC (VIN E), 5.0L, 1995−97 2.3L and 1998−99 2.5L Engines
The oil pumps are not serviceable. If defective, they must be replaced.
1. Follow the service procedures under Oil Pan Removal and remove the oil pan assembly.
2. Remove the oil pick−up and tube assembly from the pump.
3. Remove the oil pump retainer bolts and remove the oil pump.
To install:
4. Prime the oil pump with clean engine oil by filling either the inlet or outlet port with clean engine oil.
Rotate the pump shaft to distribute the oil within the pump body.
5. Install the pump and tighten the mounting bolts to:
♦ 14−21 ft. lbs. (19−29 Nm) on 17−7 2.3L engines
♦ 6−10 ft. lbs. (8−14 Nm) on 2.9L engines
♦ 30−40 ft. lbs. (41−54 Nm) on 3.0L engines
♦ 13−15 ft. lbs. (18−20 Nm) on 4.0L engines
Do not force the oil pump if it does not seat readily. The oil pump driveshaft may be misaligned with the
distributor or shaft assembly. If the pump is tightened down with the driveshaft misaligned, damage to the
pump could occur. To align, rotate the intermediate driveshaft into a new position.
6. Install the oil pick−up and tube assembly to the pump. If there is a gasket between the pump and the
pick−up, use a new gasket when installing.
7. Install the oil pan as previously described.
