  1. Remove the Hood. Refer to «HOOD , Removal»(ref-457777-S11308145592012030200000) .
  2. Disconnect the intake air temperature (IAT) sensor electrical connector (3).
  3. Remove the clean air hose (2).
  4. Remove the engine cover (1). Refer to «COVER, Engine , Removal , 5.7L»(ref-457797-S01258964312012030200000) .
  5. Remove the air cleaner housing (4).
  6. Perform the Fuel System Pressure Release procedure. Refer to «STANDARD PROCEDURE»(ref-457834-S04226998202012030200000) .
  7. Disconnect the negative battery cable (1). WARNING: Do not remove or loosen the radiator draincock with system hot and under pressure. Serious burns from coolant can occur.
  8. Drain the cooling system. Refer to «Standard Procedure»(ref-457792-S30781673372012030200000) . CAUTION: Do not let the tensioner arm snap back to the freearm position, severe damage may occur to the tensioner.
  9. Insert a suitable square drive ratchet into the square hole on the belt tensioner arm (7).
  10. Release the belt tension by rotating the tensioner (7) clockwise until the accessory drive belt (4) can be removed from the generator pulley only. CAUTION: Do not place the viscous fan drive in horizontal position. If stored horizontally, silicone fluid in the viscous fan drive could drain into its bearing assembly and contaminate lubricant.
  11. Remove the viscous fan drive assembly. Refer to «FAN, Cooling, Electric , Removal»(ref-457792-S13033663812012030200000) and «FAN, Cooling, Viscous , Removal»(ref-457792-S41329399382012030200000) .
  12. Recover the refrigerant system. Refer to «Plumbing , Standard Procedure»(ref-457787-S01365783702012030200000) .
  13. Remove the upper radiator seal four push pins (1).
  14. Remove the two plastic rivets (2) and remove the upper radiator seal.
  15. Remove the fan shroud mounting bolts and pull the shroud up and out of the radiator tank clips.
  16. Remove the radiator and A/C condenser as an assembly from the vehicle. Refer to «RADIATOR, Engine Cooling , Removal»(ref-457792-S21225288992012030200000) .
  17. Remove the A/C compressor (4). Refer to «COMPRESSOR, A/C , Removal»(ref-457787-S14624345472012030200000) .
  18. Disconnect the generator electrical connectors and remove the generator assembly (2). Refer to «GENERATOR , Removal»(ref-457799-S36013499732012030200000) .
  19. Disconnect the heater hoses (2) and lower radiator hose (1). NOTE: It is not necessary to disconnect the power steering hoses from the power steering pump, for power steering pump removal.
  20. Remove the three bolts securing the power steering pump through the holes in the pulley (1) and secure the power steering pump out of the way.
  21. Disconnect the fuel supply line. Refer to «FITTING, QUICK CONNECT»(ref-457834-S36340154892012030200000) .
  22. Raise and support the vehicle on a hoist and drain the engine oil.
  23. Remove the front engine mount through bolts (3).
  24. Disconnect the transmission oil cooler lines from their retainers at the oil pan bolts. CAUTION: When servicing or replacing exhaust system components, disconnect the oxygen sensor connector(s). Allowing the exhaust to hang by the oxygen sensor wires will damage the harness and/or sensor.
  25. Disconnect the oxygen sensor electrical connectors (2).
  26. Saturate all exhaust bolts and nuts with Mopar® Rust Penetrant. Allow 5 minutes for penetration.
  27. Remove the exhaust pipe to manifold bolts (3) (left side shown in illustration, right side similar) and disconnect the front exhaust pipe/catalytic converter assembly (4) at the exhaust manifolds.
  28. Disconnect the starter wires and remove the starter (1). Refer to «STARTER , Removal»(ref-457802-S39254669482012030200000) .
  29. Remove the transmission inspection and structural dust covers (2). Refer to «COVER, Structural Dust , Removal , 5.7L»(ref-457797-S31211778382012030200000) .
  30. Remove the drive plate to converter bolts (Automatic transmission equipped vehicles).
  31. Remove both the left and right side oil pan to transmission bolts (1).
  32. Remove the transmission bell housing to engine block bolts (2).
  33. Lower the vehicle.
  34. Remove the intake manifold. Refer to «MANIFOLD, Intake , Removal , 5.7L»(ref-457797-S09573092392012030200000) . NOTE: To remove the oil control valve, the engine must be at room temperature.
  35. Remove the oil control valve (OCV) electrical connector (2).
  36. Remove the oil control valve (OCV) retaining bolt (1) and remove the OCV. NOTE: Do not use air tools to install (special tool #8984B, Fixture, Engine Lifting) Engine Lift Fixture (1) and Adapter (special tool #8984B, Fixture, Engine Lifting) Eagle (2).
