intake manifold/coolant hose

[DAT05EXPLODER]

Bought this 2002 explorer 4.6 limited and it has been a nightmare unlike the 2005 xlt i also bought recently.

Anywho, tonight this blew off and having trouble finding any information. found that ford settled a class action lawsuit about the manifold, but i dont think that will help me.

Can this part be bought? looks mickey moused as it is, but i am not familiar with this motor.

The intake manifold usually crack or leaks on high-mileage explorers. They are not that bad to replace and the Dorman aftermarket can be bought for less than $200.

I replaced mine when I noticed that I got a slow coolant leak, the leak goes inside the valley going down into the transmission bell housing. Better to replace it before it gets to a head gasket problem.
