Detailed Description

This Cloyes timing set, part number 9-3603X9, is designed for engines that benefit from adjustable cam timing and a stable chain drive. The billet crank sprocket uses nine keyways to fine-tune cam timing, while the heat-treated steel sprockets and double roller chain support consistent operation under performance conditions. It is a direct-fit timing set for a wide range of Chrysler, Dodge, and Jeep vehicles, including Dodge Dakota, Ram 1500, Ram 2500, Ram 3500, and Jeep Grand Cherokee applications.

This part cross-references 93603X9 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Timing chain stretch and timing drift
• Worn or noisy factory timing components
• Need for cam timing adjustment during engine setup
• Reduced chain friction in performance builds
• Runout concerns from mismatched timing components

Installation Notes and Fitment

Compatible with reduced center distance engine timing set applications that specify 6.125-inch center distance from crankshaft to camshaft. For these reduced-center-distance setups, add -5 or -10 to the part number when ordering. Fits 1987-2003 Dodge Dakota, N/A; Fits 1998-2003 Dodge Durango, N/A; Fits 1994-2003 Dodge Ram 1500, N/A; Fits 1998-2003 Dodge Ram 1500 Van, N/A; Fits 1994-2002 Dodge Ram 2500, N/A; Fits 1994-2002 Dodge Ram 3500, N/A; Fits 1993-1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee, N/A.

Verify engine configuration, center distance, and timing alignment before installation. Because this set is keyway adjustable, final cam timing should be checked during assembly rather than assumed from the base sprocket position.

Quality Assurance

Cloyes manufactures this timing set with billet steel sprockets that are heat treated for durability and hand-matched to help control center distance and runout. The 9-3603X9 is built for performance-grade timing service in compatible Chrysler, Dodge, and Jeep engines.
