Mine has never leaked, but our shop has replaced dozens of them. We stick with Mopar unless the Dorman aluminum housing is available, but it never is. It's a good idea to do spark plugs at the same time, while the intake is off.
For real. I checked the cap tonight to see if it was over tightened, it wasn’t but I can’t believe the design, you literally torque an offset plastic tube attached to a plastic base? Unbelievable
I can’t believe it’s not metal. I guess the intake isn’t either, but that tube hanging of it jeez. Appreciate the feed back
Have you used the Dorman housing on our Gen 3 3.6 v6 engines? Dorman website says it is not a
The tightness of the cap does not affect it's leak tightness. I have also never seen a cracked housing. Sometimes they leak from the oil pressure sensor, sometimes the lower mounting gaskets. It's too many parts.
Here is a Link, from another JL Forum Thread, POST # 16. This says that it will fit, through 2021 per Dorman..FYI
Sorry, but I don't believe Dorman. They don't list it as compatible for the 2016-current grand cherokee with the 3.6, and our engine is the same.
Just looked at the site again. It says it fits the 3.6 up to 2021, but it doesn't fit the wrangler past 2018. Whats different about the wrangler 3.6 compared to the charger, challenger ram 1500?
Hmmm…very interesting. Maybe somebody else has the answer.
The upgraded Pentastar (PUG) has cooled exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) to ... Maybe that doesn’t apply to all of the installs..not sure.
Good comment I had the oil changed at Jiffy 2 days before, I’ll clean it up and check again
How would I check the housing, I thought the oil would indicate that, thanks
If I was a betting man, I’d say the fitnent guide is wrong, and they are simply deleting vehicles from the list as people send in complaints, instead of doing proper R&D. Dorman is not a high quality company.
