I bought a seperate intake manifold for the 5.2/5.9 magnum. It was off a 2000 Ram the wierd thing is that the pcv valve is on the opposite side and so is the brake booster line. WTF! they are switched I know, but since I cant use it im gonna try and sell it. Im asking $50 plus shipping. I paid $65 dollars for it and they wont take it back so I just wanna get at least fifty back.

 

Possibly it's because you have the R/T model.

 

turn it around?

 

Move the valve covers?

 

ill give it a try lol

I thought about that but ill just use the intake I just took off.

 

no in 2000 dodge did that my dad has a 2001 1500 laramie 2wd with the 318 and his is the same way just one lovely thing they decided to change. They should put that on the list with also giving every truck from the factory after 2000 i believe with the death flash. Someone correct me if im wrong on that year but yea.

 

Yeah I took everything apart today for the plenum fix and I replaced the valve cover gaskets while I was there. Now I just gotta bolt and seal the plenum plate and align the distributor cap and rotor tomorrow. Also gut the c/c for a lil louder sound.

 

you can use that intake!!!!! But unless you are doing the kegger mod (cutting it), it was a waste of money. Doesn't matter what side vac line you use, just swap the PCV grommet!!! and put a chrome or spectre breather on the other side. Problem solved!!

Use that spare intake and do the Kegger mod on it. I would save the intake and mod it as a "tinkering" hobby and then replace it later on.

Check the FAQs for the kegger mod DIY.

 

I just took off my original intake, I did the kegger mod but didnt have access to a mill shop to do the throttle body. I put it in yesterday but had a nasty little problem. The intake is back on, with the plate and gaskets.....and locktite. I was gonna replace the coolant temperature sensor and striped the bolt! FML I know, but the sensor is ripped out the only thing stuck is the bottom of the sensor. Once I get that out Im gonna put it back together.;
