MAHLE CS54418 conversion gasket set for the 2003-2008 Dodge Ram 1500 V8 5.7L and other vehicles seals the oil pan, timing cover and rear main area of the engine. It supplies several of the main sealing parts but leaves out some specific pieces.
Oil dripping from the pan edge, from the back of the engine or at the timing cover can mean a gasket or seal has worn. These signs alone do not prove this set is the fix, since a leaking valve cover gasket can run oil down to the same spots.
This set is listed for a wide range of Dodge and Chrysler models, including the 2003-2008 Dodge Ram 2500 V8 5.7L and the 2004-2008 Dodge Durango V8 5.7L. The 2003-2008 Dodge Ram 1500 V8 5.7L takes one set. If your own vehicle is not named here, look up its year and engine on the Buyer's Guide tab.
