PROBLEM:
On certain vehicles with Chrysler EcoDiesel V6 engines, soot buildup in the intake manifold can cause a severe loss of power, smoke, and a burning smell. A dealer recall addresses failing EGR coolers on some EcoDiesels, but even if a cooler has been repaired under warranty, it may have already caused problems downstream that aren’t immediately noticeable.
FIX:
This upgraded Dorman OE FIX™ intake manifold features a more protective skirt on the sensor shroud, allowing the MAP sensor to be located farther out of the path of hot EGR gases. These engineering improvements can divert EGR heat and soot through the intake for a more reliable repair than the original design. This manifold can also help reduce cost by allowing still-functional sensors to be swapped into the new manifold.
