Does anybody know how difficult it is to install an intake manifold and how long the job will take? I'm thinking of purchasing a Magnum V8 Stage 2 OEM Intake Manifold from Hughes Engines. Any response would greatly be appreciated. Thanks!

 

It's not difficult, but time consuming if you've never done it before. I'm sure if you run a forum search you'll find more info. You'd be better off asking specific ? s, or pick up a haynes or chilton manual.

 

its real easy. takes a while. if you havent gotten that in-depth with taking your truck apart then i would plan on it being down for a day. keep your parts that you take off well organized. after you take off a part, slide the bolts back into the holes that they came from so that you dont confuse where they go.

 

yea its easy, look in the DIY forum for the Plenum gasket replacement. that will basicly tell you exactly how to do it.

 

dsertdog56, timwag2001, Tani1500- Thank you all for your responses and advice. I'll do more research on this and buy a Haynes manual. Once again thank you.

 

when you get it on tell us about it cause thats what im going to order after christmas

 

Dirty Dog- I'll definitely do that. Hopefully, I'll have everything done right before the New Year.

 

get the FSM from the merry christmas thread @ the top of the forum... it's in the dodge info thread... better than the haynes

 

Plan on spending a weekend on it if it's your first time. I'm betting you'll get in there and want to clean up parts, inspects hoses, etc. That's what I would do if I were you. It's a good time for some preventative maintenance.

 

steve05ram360- Thanks! I'll do that.
VWandDodge- Thanks for your input, also. I'll definitively want to do some preventative maintenance while doing the job. I appreciate everybody's willingness to help and knowledgeable advice. This forum is great.
