This OE FIX electronic power steering rack for select Ram 1500 trucks is constructed using 100% new components, never remanufactured, with redesigned electronics and a UV40 protective coating on the PCB to help resist water, salt, dust and chemicals.
The oil filter adapter on millions of V6-powered Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Ram vehicles leaks when its plastic housing warps and cracks. This all-aluminum OE FIX housing includes the oil cooler, filter and cap to update the vehicle to the latest design.
When you need to replace an oil pan, check Dorman first. Our pans are designed to meet and exceed OE performance and are backed by our limited lifetime warranty.
Every OE FIX starts with a common OE failure and ends with a smarter repair. Filter by benefit to find the right solution.
