Other quick question, any method to put the engine cover back on properly? I've matched the grommets but it doesn't seem nearly as tight.

 

I had no issues with the intake system it fit like a glove when lined up. As for the engine cover it takes a good whack to get it to lock down. wet the insides of the grommets very lightly with some wd 40 sit them on there and give the cover a whack over each one, it will lock down.

 

Yea, it definitely fits great. I bought it used so I think the m8 bolt for the inlet tube was just the wrong one. Was the supplied bolt longer than the stock? Also, what did you use to get that plastic clip from the resovoir off? Need to go buy a trim removal tool to see if I can get that bit*h off. So far it looks awesome though, just don't want to drive around with the two items not resolved.

 

No just use a flat head screw driver to lift up the top cap and it will pull right up.

 

Thats what I thought but didn't want to break the clip since thats the only thing holding the resovoir in place. I will go ahead and do that. If it breaks I giess I can use a zip tie to hold it until I get another clip?

 

A zip tie will work but if you just go easy w/ the flathead, you'll be fine.

 

ha, ok cool. I am not very patient, so planning for failure, lol.

 

Nah piece of cake. Should pop up no problem then just pull it out...

 

ok, got the heat shield secured. However, the m8 bolt still doesnt work on that inlet tube bracket. It just won't "catch." I'm making a trip to lowes for a longer bolt.

 

Funny thing. I asked my Dodge dealer today to get me a price on a Mopar CAI for my 2014 R/T. He said it isn't in the catalog. Do you guys have a part number I can give him?

 

Here you go. The '13 fits the '14.

I don't know about a part number but unless I'm mistaken the same one from 11-13 should still fit the 14's. Someone back me up here?

 

You are correct. I've had the same problem with my dealer. Any parts that are common with all 3rd gens, he says isn't available for the 14. Sad that customers know more than the "experts"!

 

Sad that customers know more than the "experts"!

Yeah...don't even get me started on the "experts" working behind the counter at 99.99% of the parts houses (Auto Zone, Discount Auto Parts, Advanced Auto Parts, O'Reilly Auto, etc) across America.....

 

I swear after doing maybe an hours worth of research on the dodge website I knew more then any of the sales guys at my local dealer. Huge turn off and I bought elsewhere. Not just for that reason. (For much worse)

 

In case anyone was wondering, got a longer m8 bolt. Still doesn't work, appears that the hole is either stripped or the bolts are not correct thread. Going to try some different bolts again today. Wonder if I use some loctite if it would help? Not sure what else to do here.

 

Thank you dbtx!

 

So now the power steering connection will not line up correctly and power steering fluid is going everywhere. Anyone have any tricks for getting the power steering to line up properly. Getting frustrated.

 

Now also have a check engine light, could that be from loss of pressure? Fluid is very low.

 

You must have installed something wrong. Hopefully you haven't pinched or cut a line causing the pressure loss.
Go back and look over the instructions. Take some pictures so we can see what you are talking about.

Looks like the bracket for the power steering where the bracket for intake attaches is just loose and fluid is leaking under it. Need to get a bigger attachment for my socket wrench so I can tighten it down better.

 

Just because the bracket is loose for the PS reservoir it should not be leaking. Check and make sure the hose clamp is not loose or you did not crack the reservoir. Did you tighten it down super tight when you put it back together or something? If so it is possible you might have cracked it. I don't have my D yet to look at for comparison so it is hard for me to tell if the bracket off the side of the reservoir is an integrated piece of plastic or it is something separate.

Don't keep running the truck with little to no fluid, you are going to burn something up. Figure out where it is leaking and try to fix it.

Like was said, take some close up pictures of the reservoir so we can see what you have going on.

 

Ok, I'll post a picture soon. It's at the bracket not the actual resovoir. I will be getting it towed to the dealer in the morning if I can get this fixed. Not running it anymore due to very very low fluid. Btw, anyone know which fluid we use? Think its ATF +4.

 

Here is the bracket. The fluid leaks out under that rounded area.

 

All this from a CAI install?

Yea, all because I got the wrong bolt from the guy that sold it to me....smh

 

Espi,

Ok, like I said, I don't have mine yet to look at for reference but I believe you are showing a picture of your Power steering pump. I see a black hose at the top with a constant pressure clamp on it attached to a silver 90 degree elbow tube going to the pump. Where this piece meets the pump it is somewhat elliptical and it looks like there is a bolt missing. Was this like this or did you remove a bolt from this location when installing the CAI? That is not a bracket. It is the connection to the PS pump. If you removed a bolt from that location put it back in. I am assuming this is where you are talking about it leaking. Kind of hard to determine from your pic.

Also, you don't have to get it towed. Put Mopar ATF+4 (or equivalent), that is the proper fluid for the PS system. If it got super low and and has air in the system it may feel weird when moving the steering back and forth. Simply leave the cap loose and, it fill it to proper level (engine off) and turn the steering back and forth (engine running) slowly from lock to lock and it should force the air out if it got that low. Turn the engine off and check the fluid for correct level.

 

Blkdrt,

Thanks. I tried putting the bolt back on. Took it off because that is where the inlet tube for the cai attaches. Unfortunately, that fin bolt won't tighten down properly. Feels stripped but not sure. It's crazy because its only the first time the bolt came out. I have the fluid to put in, but without the bolt tightening down, the fluid leaks everywhere. So frustrated.

 

Ok, I found the instructions for the CAI and see that bolt was to be removed and replaced with another one, that obviously is missing from the used CAI you got.

If you move the bracket for the CAI out of the way, will the original bolt go back in and tighten down? If so, you are ok and have not buggered the threads on the pump housing. From looking at the instructions there is another bolt, longer than the one that is in there to accommodate the extra thickness of the CAI bracket. If you measure the thickness of the bracket (washer if that is part of the install) that should give you a good idea on how much longer of a bolt you need.

Take the original bolt to either a Lowes or auto parts store and figure out what the thread count is an whether is metric or standard. Then look for the proper length bolt in the proper thread count that matches the original bolt. If you are trying to use the original bolt to tighten it down over top of the CAI bracket it is not going to be long enough and will not catch the threads.

Are we closer now to the problem you are having?
