Crown Victoria Intake Manifold Replaced! If I can do it..........

[@marksavastano8339]

Same engine for a mustang just thing are different plus no bracket for the alternator you saved your self a easy g note doing it you're self. BRAVO

[@TheRancher03]

I saw a few videos and noticed that some of these aftermarket (like the one you got) intakes uses screws. After a little research, I found an Autotecnica FD1413042 that used all OEM bolts. It did come with two alternator brackets so did have to use one. It also came with a small adapter plastic bracket I had to use on the vacuum accumulator next to the throttle Body. The car has been running great with this intake and even appears to have more power.

[@richardhayes7159]

I'm glad to hear that. I just bought the exact same intake. I wanted to avoid all the issues associated with the Dorman. I should be able to get it all together next Monday.

[@TheRancher03]

Best part of video was the tossing of the junk original intake. And to those who condemn the Dorman intake, just remember that the OEM is junk or we wouldn't all be having to replace it.

Except the fact that you lose 23 HP with the Dorfman intake.

You can leave the injectors and rails installed and swap them over after the intake is out.

[@johnsayles4316]

Please explain that in more detail?

[@FoxFaderWorld]

@johnsayles4316 Simply disconnect the fuel line from the fuel rail then remove the intake with the injectors still in place.

Ok. Thank you.

They still leak with the metal crossover i had a 97 vic that blew a hole in the plastic that ran behind the alternator in fact it was a class action lawsuit from 1996 to about 2001

[@danmallery9142]

While you go through all this effort to remove the intake, check that coolant bypass pipe underneath. They are often corroded and need replacement and it is almost impossible to replace it without removing the intake. Mine leaked on my 5.4 pickup and it is a pain.

[@54inches]

His is an 08, I don't think that applies as much as it does to the earlier models.

[@woetieuan145]

I’m getting a map sensor code. Does these cars have map sensors?

[@jimsvo4486]

The Dorman will loose HP, but under 3500 RPM you actually gain torque compared to the Ford PI intake. I have an 06 Town Car and even getting on the highway I do not go past 3500. LMR did a dyno test on a Mustang between the two intakes that is on KZbin.

[@DJKZ24]

How’s the intake performing? Have to do mine on a 2005 Explorer. Cracked around 3 of the coils. Bolts won’t hold and can’t put a load on it.

[@bossmancustomz6891]

You was actually tightening the egr tube that’s why it was hard to come off

[@Droy3774]

I'm assuming this is the Dorman intake manifold, a year later how is it holding up? any vacuum leaks?

[@PhotomikesGarage]

No leaks and its running fine.

[@jaredqualls6525]

I was wondering after I saw a previous comment say in a year or 2 you'll be doing it all over, I got the same intake and was like come on man😢

[@Droy3774]

@@jaredqualls6525 I own two crown vics both same years. I replaced one of them with a OEM Ford Intake manifold and and it cracked 14 months later! So i know the panther community has been complaining about Dorman being plastic and cheap, Which it is! and generally the only option we have in regard to picking it up quickly at a local shop. Since Ford stopped making the part. but just to prove a point, I bought a OEM and it still failed a year later, so it what it is. I guess if we want to keep our cars going, you're just going to have to learn to do it yourself and change it every 2 years if it cracks. But so far the dorman has been nice the last 3 months, but i can feel it is a bit slower in acceleration.

@@PhotomikesGarageDid you not have a decrease or increase in the power of the engine or has nothing been different?

@@Droy3774 I bought Dorman cause like you said Ford doesnt sell the 96 to 04... But Ford still sells it in the later year crown vics 4,6 but who has $1000 ? I was about to buy an OEM used for $300 but just did not want to take the chance... Yes you lose HP but at least you got a running car !

[@vegascvpiaaron4026]

very nice made that look easy. If you keep the car though you will be doing it again in a year or so with that amazon intake, Its also going to kill performance. But at least it works.

[@mikesal8088]

The runners on the aftermarket intake don't look anything like the Ford OEM intake that came off and everything I've read says the aftermarket ones aren't the performance improved (PI) design. If it was just a leaky intake manifold gasket, couldn't you just install a new gasket set on the original Ford intake?

[@vegascvpiaaron4026]

@@mikesal8088 im no expert but im sure you could, the intakes are all repairable depending on where the leak is from

[@markedward8639]

@@mikesal8088 The plastic around the water port actually breaks off, allowing the gasket to squeeze out. There's no repairing it. All this for a 1/2" piece of poorly designed super thin plastic wall around a hot water port. smh. Plus you have to remove the whole thing just to get access to the broken area. The rest of the plastic is going to be decaying anyway by the time this gives out.

5:42 this is a nightmare to remove I wish I could find a video with tips or tricks to remove it

[@DartDerg]

Some of them have another bracket mounted to that bolt that holds a couple wiring harnesses in place (my 2002 Grand Marquis did) which is held on by a nut on the one bolt and another bolt that attaches to the back of the engine block a little further down. My suggestion if you're having trouble is to just take the windshield wiper motor completely out. With the cover for it out of the way you have plenty of room to get down into that area and figure out what you need to do back there

[@florenbaron7111]

Do you have experience with the 4.6 2 valve V8 in the 2008 Ford Econoline E250? It seems to only have a cylinder temperature head sensor and not a coolant temperature sensor on that header pipe like yours. My temperature guage is not working so I am wondering if that is why. I was given conflicting responses, some say there should not be a coolant temperature sensor and others say there should. Please help. Thank you.

[@ronmcdowell4794]

Have to have this done on my 2002. Going to try it myself. Mine is leaking in the same place as yours. Wish me luck 🙏. I watched this video over and over, so am pretty sure I can do it.

How does the Dorman intake feel power wise compared to the OEM Ford intake that came off?

You will feel a loss of power no questions about it... You can go on marketplace and find a good used one but... Are you willing to take that chance ? Dorman is brand new. And unfortunately Ford doesnt make theses Intake Manifolds anymore...
