its everything aroudn the engine that has to come off to get to it. its tucked back there pretty good. im going to get at it this coming week, maybe im wrong and it will be easier to get at

 

To get to what? You can replace the plenum and do the valve seals at a later time.

 

ok, just watched the vid in the plenum sticky. dont have to remove as much as i thoght. even less, seeing as i dont have AV. im gonna order the plenum plate monday orning, and bolts, and tstat. will check cat before i take it in too. ill try to remember to update this thread witht he results. ill take pics if anything is different than what i saw in teh faq. being a v6 and all

 

Yes, please update and let us know.

 

Get the plenum fixed then send your cat back to magnaflow for a new one. Lifetime on all 49 state cats even if its clogged.

 

im in canada, shop takes care of warranty. hopefully they can get it replaced. the stock one i replaced years ago. chrysler later sent me a cheque to cover that cost

 

oh, ive already changed the PCV valve, a few weeks back. checked under the hood and dont see any sign of havign the death flash, as expected, its a 96. is there anything else someone may be able to suggest? i think ive got my bases covered now.

 

just called hughesengines.com and ordered plenum kit, intake bolts, and a 180 tstat. if anyone from canada is calling, make note that there is no toll free number. however, call was less than a minute, all parts in stock, and being shipped out this afternoon. compare that the the service i got from LMC truck and its night and day. thumbs up

 

Why the 180 stat? you'll be sorry come winter.

 

Plenum fix fail. the intake itaelf is broken. lost the drivers side rear corner. would leave a coolant duxt open on the engine. so now im looking for an intake. went to the local moparfeat. nothing for the v6. V8 ones were only 65 tho. ill find something this week
