made by dorman...oreilly auto parts have them. dorman redesigned them and reinforced them according to their info. run around $130 bucks. it is a know issue with the gm 3.8 v6. happened to me 400 miles from the house at 63080 miles. cost to replace intake manifold and flush engine $802.00. do a search over at google or at the nhtsa under consumer complaints. there is an aftermarket intake for the gm 3.8 that is supposed to be better than oem at 1/3 the price. greg .

i have read in previous posts about some owners trying to get a class action against chrysler regarding engine failure on the 4.7. many of them reported similar problems but almost none of them got any satisfaction from the dealer. try a google group search for chrysler 4.7 engine failure+class action for more information. i agree that the fix they will do for you is only a cover-up. good luck. i was making my third oil change in my 03 ram w/ 4.7 v8 this afternoon and noticed a milky coffee colored residue on the inside of my oil filler tube. it looks like oil and water mix..that has gotten pretty hot and is now kind of slushy. i checked the oil that i dained from the pan and it was all black with no signs of water or the milky white substance. it looks like the whitish colored gunk is entering the tube from the pcv valve. has anyone else had this problem i thought the purpose of the pcv valve was to pull vapor and pressure from the crankcase i am just trying to figure out how so much moisture might have gotten and still be in the line from the block to the pcv assembly. i am going to take it to the dealership in the morning but just curious to see if anyone else has ever experienced this. thanks. its a normal condition on the 4.7. not a good one though. the dealer fix is to place an insert into the filler tube that will mask but not eliminate the condensation residue. wayne .

the oil pr. sndg unit is next to the distributorbehind right head with a rubber boot. theres actually a speacial tool to remove it since its a rather tight area. can someone tell me exactly where the oil pressure sending unit is on a 1995 dodge dakota with a v6 i have a replacement for one but can seem to find anything that looks like it. thanks .
