DNA Motoring OEM-ITM-004 615-188 Compatible with 00-04 Ford F150/F250 F350 SD 03-14 E-150 5.4L V8

Had a common failure of my intake manifold. Got it all taken apart and ordered this one. There seemed to be enough positive reviews that I was willing to take the chance. I wanted to follow up for those who end up in the same boat. The gaskets are integrated into the design which made install pretty easy. The screws for the coils and some of the brackets use self-tapping screws into the plastic body. Just make sure not to over tighten these. The fuel rails lined up great and I replaced the o-rings since I had the injectors pulled. You will use the oem bolts to mount it to the engine block. The mounts for the throttle body also use the oem screws. If you take your time it goes super smooth. Took the expedition for a 2 hour test drive and it runs great. I replced spark plugs while I was in there. Also, this includes a thermostat and new gasket. I had a bit of trouble getting one of the screws for the thermostat housing to tighten and I had waited to bold on the housing till I was pretty deep in the project. If I were to do it again I would recommend getting those screws started before you tighten down the intake manifold. I was able to get it but would have been easier. Other than that it seems like a great part. I'll update this in a few months. Fuel economy seems to be increased and power is good. I'm a happy camper.

I don't really do reviews but maybe this will help someone out. The part seems to be the best of the worst. I saw bad reviews on other intake brands. Including Dorman from Advance and Autozone. But this actually fit very well. No leaks. But I will say, be very carful when tightening the bolts/screws provided. The plastic is very soft. I used a quarter in ratchet and just barely tighten them down or they will strip. Other than that the install went very well. Also has the fitting included if your 5.4 has the heated PCV. I'll report back if anything changes!

intake fit well, my truck runs great!!

It was worth the money! Easy install and everything fit right! Not as good as OEM but for the money cant complain at all!

Seems thinner then the stock one but seems to be working great. Been on for a while now no issues.

UPDATE 9/27/2004This already started leaking about 4-5 months after replacing it. Someone warned in the comments when I bought it that the gaskets are gaerbage and you'd be doing the job again within a year...I should have listened. Still no idea if you get better gaskets with the Dorman, but I'm pissed I have to rip this thing off again.I torqued this to all the specs in the order they indicated at the time I made the repair! I will take a shot at maybe re-torquing but it DID NOT LEAK for the first several months.For the record, mine is leaking at the passenger side rear apparently. Fouled my #4 cylinder and I had to pull it out and clean it up today. Coolant definitely pouring out of the engine valley again. I need a new daily! LOL.------------------I don't know the difference between this one and the OEM replacement ones. They look identical to me.This is a helluva DIY job but truck runs good again. No misfires. No giant antifreeze lake in the engine valley.It does seem more cheaply made than the original, as other have stated. So, to avoid breaking stuff, check your testosterone at the door. Things don't need to be that tight anyway (this goes doubly for the coil hold down screws.) ALSO, do yourself a big favor and find the torque sequence and make sure your torque wrench actually works. 18 ft-lbs seems like a lot. But I'm here to say, mine didn't break and it's working great!

This did fit but needed to re drill all the fuel retaining screw holes. The intake doesn't have machined threaded holes, instead there just undersized holes for the cheap screws that will brake off in the holes.The fix is to drill them all out slightly larger the the screws.

I have been driving my truck now for a month since repairs were made. Intake manifold had to be replaced do to coolant leak.I had the manifold changed out by Bob's my Shop, they are a highly respected shop in Lake Havasu City where I reside.My truck was just shy of 141,000 miles so I had the plugs and coil packs changed out with the intake exchange.My truck runs like new again and they did not have one issue changing out the new intake.The Labor cost for the complete job came to $700.00It was very hard for me to spend the money since I use to do this work once upon a time. My body is very broken now so I no longer can do this type of work but I fell the $700. was well wort the price of having my truck back and I would not HESITATE to buy the new Intake Manifold again ! WELL WORTH THE $'s I SPENT.
