Ultimate FORD 5.4L 2V Intake Manifold Repair Guide

VIDEO: Ultimate FORD 5 4L 2V Intake Manifold Repair Guide

This Intake Manifold leak problem has been a constant bother. The plastic in all these plastic intakes is steadily degrading. The degrade to a point where the plastic is so soft or brittle, it breaks away at the weakest point and causes a coolant leak on the engine. The Dorman replacement is a poor excuse for a replacement part being louder, failing gasket seals, and costing up to 26 horsepower. Just not a good option. I've spent a fair amount of time dealing with the problem, I've developed a couple fixes that have proven themselves to be reliable. I'm sure there are plenty of folks here with the infamous Triton of varying liter displacements and eventually all of you will benefit from this information. Best wishes on your repairs.
