Dr. autoparts intake manifold

[happydog500]

I just replaced my radiator on my 1997. Now that I have presser in the cooling system, I'm losing fluid (Can't see any). I'm assuming it's from the intake manifold.

I went on eBay and found one at, “Dr.autoparts.” It seems to have good feedback, although it’s “private.” It says “Re-Engineered to Prevent Common Failure Patterns and Reinforced & Re-Engineered EGR & Coolant Passage Walls for Greater Durability and to resist corrosion.”

The price is only $59.95, + $14.95 S&H. Is anyone familure with Dr.autoparts? Are they any good? I know the cheapest is not the best way to go but sometimes it can be good.

Thank you for any input, Chris.

You could ask him who manufactures the part, and investigate from there. I do not think there are many aftermarket sources for this item.

I asked and he said, "They are made over seas in China/ Taiwan." Wonder if China/Taiwan can be good?

Get a Dorman/Napa uim, proven piece.

Yes, the dorman is good. I have used that one before and it works fine.
