I wonder if Dorman makes a better intake system to replace the stupid design of the Focus airbox. It takes a tubular filter that never fits unless you slam your foot on it just to make it one eighth shorter.

Short video 11.34 min long. Must have been an afterthought.

I have a Dorman coolant overflow tank that replaced the rotted swiss cheese OEM tank in my 03 Envoy

I was hoping you would have put a straight edge against the bottom of the shifter to see if it was indeed flat and to make sure all the corner were going to seal completely using the gasket it came with. The anaerobic sealant is great and makes up for tiny imperfection in the mating area where the gasket can only do so much.

Dorman doesn't have all day to make something better. They have to make money on their products too. This is so obviously just sloppy and lazy engineering by Dodge that they should be class-actioned. And one of the less good after market product manufacturers knocks it out of the park? Shame…..shaaaame…..shaaaaaaaame….to quote Princess Bride. Great content Mr. O.

Show us the engine!!!!

Melling is also a great aftermarket parts provider. Their engine oil pumps for Ford 4.6 and 5.3 engines are a vast improvement over Ford OE pumps.

Had one a couple of years ago that would pop out of 3rd and 4th. Witch there was a tsb for the syncro witch we did, and lasted about 3 months and came back. Did some research and end up putting a B&M shifter in it and ended up fixing it.

Dorman is garbage and I avoid using that brand if possible.

Somehow my experiences with Dorman were all positive, from a $1800 hybrid battery to control arms, blend door actuators, nuts and bolts.

Appreciate the fact that you call out a good product even though it came from Doorman! Keep up the great videos, really enjoy them and learfn so much!

A Dorman part that WORKS-? Im surprised Eric wasnt elaborating on the subject after all the weak Dorman products hes dealt with. Nice call on nixing the gasket Eric, one comment said they had leaks with the gasket so yeah good call-!! experience and a reliable gut feeling can be very valuable in preventing future headaches.

Looks like a nice replacement unit.

A great Dorman product. I guess this makes number two (after the fuel line repair kit). This makes Dorman’s batting average .063……they’re getting hot now!

Gasket covered both sides in Aviation Gasket Goo . It will never leak again

Don’t forget to grease up all the gates inside the shifter .

The world must be ending if SMA is praising and recommending Dorman Products.

Eric, you have just made a change from your getting to be normal videos. However you mentioned that the engine was out, And being dealt with, Why did you not show us some of that? Don't know why we have to watch endless broken wire type jobs. But I still like the channel.

As a trans tech, I will always advocate against anarobic sealant. Granted I'm a little drunk at the time of this posting, but I have found that on envoy front differential's and shit like that, the anarobic sealant will crack and leak eventually. I always use GMS silicone based sealant.

I miss the old Halomar sealer. It was my goto for split crankcases ala Chainsaws. ATVs, motorcycles and snow machines. Good for Transfer cases etc, even some intakes. I was told it was discontinued as it had something nasty in it. The new stuff seems to work ok, but cures slower and seems less tolerant of imperfect surfaces and a little oil (assy lube) creepage. It also is a lot more expensive (no shock there I guess).
Glad to see Dorman maybe getting back in the game, 30 years ago, when they were "Motormite" they had pretty good stuff no one else made.
I just put a Dorman GM corporate 10 bolt cover on my 99 Tahoe, and It was OK but needed some threadseal on the plug. Not a deal breaker for the price.
Maybe they are actually getting that their reputation has gone bad in the last few years.
Thanks Mr O for another good tip and supporting video!
