Intake cracked
Maybe you can help. have a 2003 1500 hemi and was told the plenum is cracked. I had an offer to JB Weld it but than others told me NOT to do this. Called a dealership and they run about $450 brand new. Can I get by with the crack being welded or using a used one from a junk yard. Just trying to get others opinions. By the way, Im female and people don't think I know what Im talking about. Just wanted to throw that out there. lol Any advice would be appreciated

But: What's the manifold made of? If it's plastic, JB Weld might work for a while, but, I wouldn't want my motor to ingest any of that...... could be bad. Could also call around to junkyards, and see if you can pick up a used one..... If no one local has one car-part.com is a great resource.

That's actually a third gen truck, so, you are *almost* in the right place.
