Plastic Resonator replacement

Part Number - 5137-154AA - Resonator, Turbo
Part Number - 5174-042AC - Air Intake Sensor

Go to this web site -

For first two items put the part number in the window that
says "Search by Factory Part Number" and select Dodge in the drop
down menu.

For the Fuel Filter put "Fuel Filter" in the window that
says "Search by Keyword" and the put in the year (wait for next drop
down menu to populate) then Make (again - wait for menu to populate)
and then Model. It will take you to the correct fuel filter.

I just went through it again and it worked fine. Good luck and I
hope you never have to use the parts.

Installation

Dave,

1. The resonator eliminator from Riordanco doesn't reduce the turbo
noise at all. In fact, since it's made from aluminum, it may
accentuate the sound. My take is that the sound definitely isn't
pleasant, but I'm putting up with it until I hear more about a DC
resonator that won't fail.

2. Haven't even seen a 2008, so I can't comment.

3. The instructions that come with the resonator eliminator are very
complete, so if you can change your own oil, you'll have no trouble
changing the TR. Total time is about ten minutes or less.

Basically, you loosen a hose clamp, pull the hose off of the
resonator, remove two small Torx head bolts with a 1/4" box wrench and
pull the resonator from the turbo. The O-ring from the resonator goes
on the eliminator and then you reverse the removal procedure.

4. I carry my old resonator to reinstall, just in case something
happens that causes me to have to get engine work at a Sprinter
dealer. I don't want to have to argue with a dummy who says my engine
problem (insert any engine problem here) is the result of the
eliminator. I'm not sure if the check engine light will go of, but you
should be able to drive normally after replacing the TR.
