YITHSWAY Aluminum Lower Intake Manifold for 3.6L V6 Jeep Dodge Chrysler Ram — Complete Gasket & Hardware Kit

YITHSWAY's aluminum lower intake manifold is a direct-replacement engine part designed to evenly route air to each cylinder and replace brittle plastic housings for improved durability and fit. This upgraded lower intake manifold kit is engineered for 3.6L V6 applications across Jeep, Dodge, Chrysler and Ram models and ships complete with gaskets, bolts and washers for a full installation. Built from corrosion-resistant aluminum, the assembly resists heat-related distortion and seals reliably where factory plastic units can fail. The package includes the manifold plus the necessary hardware so you can replace a damaged or leaking lower intake without sourcing extra parts.

How does this aluminum manifold improve reliability over the original plastic part?

Aluminum tolerates higher operating temperatures and resists warping better than molded plastic, reducing the risk of leaks and repeated failures. The YITHSWAY unit maintains its shape under heat cycles and preserves intake sealing surfaces longer. You’ll see fewer coolant or vacuum leaks and less need for repeat repairs.

• Constructed from heat-resistant aluminum to limit thermal deformation.
• Engineered sealing surfaces to minimize vacuum and coolant leaks.
• Less brittle than OE plastic, extending service life under stress.

What exactly comes in the kit and is it ready to install?

The kit arrives with the upgraded lower intake manifold plus a complete set of installation hardware so you won’t need to source parts separately. Included are multiple gaskets and all bolts and washers required for most direct-fit installations, helping reduce downtime. Confirm vehicle compatibility before starting work to ensure no additional parts are needed.

• 1 x YITHSWAY aluminum lower intake manifold.
• 12 x intake gaskets, 19 x bolts and 3 x washers for installation.
• OE cross-references included: 05184199AF and related numbers for fit verification.
