Yep. It always boils down to cost as well as statistics of the failure rate. The gamble that is in the long run, the cost of any repairs will be far cheaper than having laid out a lot of money up front for a durable part.

 

And a PCM flash is a pretty cheap fix, LOL!

 

wow jb weld? that seems a little janky... if you tig welded it you could prolly get a better seal, not?

 

I know guys who could weld the pan to the intake and not even think twice about it leaking. They are some of the best welders in NB, if not the country... We used to make vacuum chambers and stuff like that for NASA and various nuclear plants, so that tells you how critical good welds are for these guys...

I would NOT try to JB weld it.... that stuff is useless imo

 

WOW durafix looks like its amazing stuff.

JB weld would not be good for this application. Welding would have to be done by an expert who is willing to front the cash to replace the work you give them.

 

The death flash is not the fix for a blown plenum, it is for a similar but unrelated problem. https://dodgeforum.com/forum/2nd-gen...ath-flash.html

 

That Durafix video make me want to go get some and try it out even though I have no reason to what so ever anyone know what it costs?

 

Have a look.

 

It is how PAdodgeram made his own electric fan shroud setup. he fabbed it from aluminum sheet and durafix.

I am thinking of doing the same. following this design:

Make this:

out of aluminum and these:
Fan motor from the above, and fan:


and get the controller with AC relay.

 

I never even noticed how easy that would be. I didn't even look to notice it is just aluminum, motors, and wires. Damn! I'm going to do this too lol.
