Dorman Must-See Solutions

AFTERMARKET EXCLUSIVE | IMPROVED DESIGN & EASIER TO SERVICE

PROBLEM: On certain General Motors cars and trucks, routine transmission services are a messy process due to the design of the original equipment transmission pan, which must be lowered carefully to avoid spilling the fluid it holds.

FIX: This Dorman OE FIX™ transmission pan is designed with a drain plug to make draining the fluid a less precarious prospect. Our replacement pan includes a new magnet so you don’t have to attempt to reuse the OEM magnet, along with a serviceable filter, level check plug and a new gasket to ensure a predictable and straightforward initial installation. This innovative solution encourages regular service to help prevent costly transmission repair, and can help protect the transmission from harmful contaminants and fluid leaks.

AFTERMARKET EXCLUSIVES | COST-EFFECTIVE, SIMPLE REPAIR TO RESTORE FUNCTION AND APPEARANCE

PROBLEM: When the factory driver side door armrest flexes and breaks on certain GM SUVs, the dealer replacement door trim panel costs hundreds of dollars. Salvage trim panels typically already experienced armrest failure, making it difficult to find a used part repair option.

FIX: This Dorman OE FIX™ armrest repair kit offers a cost-effective and simple way to restore the function and appearance of the driver side factory armrest. The kit features an upgraded and stronger metal skeleton designed to minimize flexing under pressure for a longer lasting repair. For a straightforward and predictable installation, the skeleton comes complete with pre-attached mounting studs to precisely match the vehicle door panel. This kit will repair one driver side armrest

AFTERMARKET EXCLUSIVE | IMPROVED DESIGN & EASIER TO SERVICE

PROBLEM: On certain Chevrolet, GMC, and Cadillac trucks and SUVs, when the transmission overheats, doesn’t generate sufficient heat, or leaks fluid, it can be due to the failure of the original equipment transmission bypass valve. The factory valve design is notoriously vulnerable to corrosion, clogging, and wax motor failure.

FIX: This direct replacement Dorman OE FIX™ valve is upgraded to more effectively optimize cooler and transmission performance and provide a more permanent repair. Machined from solid aluminum billet for enhanced corrosion resistance, the housing features a threaded cap that protects the bore and seals and eliminates the OE snap ring design, which is prone to corrosion that can lead to complete system failure. To make routine service more convenient, it includes an additional access port.

AFTERMARKET EXCLUSIVE | ANOTHER DORMAN OE FIX INNOVATION

PROBLEM: The original plastic coolant hose junction on many Ford vehicles tends to become brittle and crack over time.

FIX: This Dorman OE FIX connector is made of upgraded aluminum to provide a more durable and reliable replacement. It also comes with replacement hose pieces in case the original hoses are damaged during removal, new clamps, and a straight-line connector so you can connect the new junction to existing hoses, giving you everything needed to get the job done right the first time.

AFTERMARKET EXCLUSIVE | DROP IT IN, STOP THE POP-OUT

PROBLEM: Many Jeep Wranglers with the NSG370 manual transmission often experience issues with the shifter popping out of gear, especially over rough terrain.

FIX: This Dorman OE FIX shift tower is specially designed to help prevent this issue, making sure the shifter stays in gear and the sloppy-feeling shifter is tightened up, leading to predictably firm, positive shifts. Our redesign features more robust construction than the factory unit by utilizing bearing steel rather than low carbon stamped steel. It also reduces wear through specially hardened and coated tool steel in the detents.

AFTERMARKET EXCLUSIVE | REPLACE JUST THE CABLE, SAVE THE ACTUATOR

PROBLEM: When the cable ends fail on the door latch on certain 3/4-ton and up Ford Super Duty trucks, the dealer solution is to replace the entire door lock actuator assembly.

FIX: This Dorman OE FIX door latch cable repair kit saves that significant expense by enabling the replacement of just the failed cable and latch rather than the entire actuator assembly, and features 4 stronger aluminum cable ends for a more permanent fix.

AFTERMARKET EXCLUSIVE | NO CUTTING, HEATING, OR NEEDING TO REMOVE BROKEN HARDWARE

PROBLEM: When an exhaust manifold fastener breaks on certain Ford and Lincoln vehicles, repairing it conventionally usually requires significant labor, up to and including removing the cylinder head.

FIX: This Dorman OE FIX repair clamp bypasses existing hardware, even if it’s broken. Rather than cutting, heating, and extracting the compromised fastener, use this kit to save time and labor and provide just as secure a connection as factory equipment with common hand tools.

AFTERMARKET EXCLUSIVE | SAVES TIME & HASSLE

PROBLEM: When a rear frame crossmember rusts out or breaks from impact damage on certain Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra trucks, the usual repair options are to fabricate and weld on a replacement if you have the tools and skills to do it, or risk installing a salvage yard part.

FIX: This weld-on Dorman OE FIX rear frame crossmember is designed to match the fit and function of an original equipment crossmember and saves the time and hassle of fabricating a replacement from scratch. It’s manufactured from durable steel with a corrosion-resistant coating, and includes a convenient grounding lug.

4X STRONGER THAN FACTORY-STYLE RUBBER LINES | BETTER PROTECTION FROM DAMAGING OIL LEAKS

PROBLEM: The original engine oil cooler hose assembly on certain GM pickup trucks and SUVs is prone to premature failure when its inlet and outlet rubber hoses become brittle from heat and pressure, creating oil leaks or bursts that can cause catastrophic engine damage.

FIX: This Dorman OE FIX cooler hose assembly features hoses constructed of more durable and flexible durable polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) tubing encased in braided stainless steel to ensure a more reliable and permanent repair. These upgraded hoses have been proven in performance tests to be four times stronger than the factory-style rubber lines and will stay flexible in temperatures as low as -50C. Engineered to precisely match the fit of the factory assembly on specified vehicles, this assembly also includes crimped fittings over carbon steel tubing for a secure connection to the rigid sections of the inlet and outlet lines.

AFTERMARKET EXCLUSIVE | PRECISION ENGINEERING & RUGGED RELIABILITY

PROBLEM: On certain Tesla Model Y and Model 3 sedans, when an original equipment front or rear driver side exterior door handle fails, Tesla only offers a costly entire door handle assembly for a repair. The embedded Hall effect sensor that activates the handle’s lock/unlock function is typically unaffected by the handle assembly failure.

FIX: This Dorman OE FIX door handle saves significant expense by allowing that working sensor from the factory handle to be reused. The handle is precision-manufactured to match the fit, function, appearance, and graceful feel of the original.

AFTERMARKET EXCLUSIVE | PRECISION ENGINEERING & RUGGED RELIABILITY

PROBLEM: The interior door handles on certain Chevrolet Cruze models can snap or fail to operate properly. Chevrolet’s design uses a plastic-welded design to join the door handle and door panel together into a single assembly, and replacement door handle assemblies are not available separately from the dealer.

FIX: This Dorman OE FIX interior door handle assembly is designed to match the fit, function, and appearance of an original door handle, but this handle can be installed on an existing door card using the included hardware, saving the expense of a complete door card assembly. The kit also includes a drill bit for removing the factory’s melted plastic connections.

AFTERMARKET EXCLUSIVE | COMPLETE, STRONGER SOLUTION FOR ON AND OFF ROAD

PROBLEM: On certain 2- and 4-door Ford Bronco SUVs, the original tie rods are similar to the diameter and design as those on much lighter passenger sedans, making them susceptible to snapping under steering stresses. Breaks can also occur on Broncos that are used offroad and/or lifted to accommodate larger tires, whether in factory trim or with aftermarket lift kits. The dealer offers a similar tie rod design as a replacement, inviting the same issue again.

FIX: This Dorman OE FIX kit includes everything needed to provide a more permanent solution. The kit features a 32.6mm outer tie rod and 23mm inner tie rod 50% and 40% larger, respectively, than the factory rods, with an 18mm thread interface 29% larger than the original equipment. The internally threaded portion of the forged outer tie rod end is longer than the factory version and the externally threaded portion of the inner tie rod ends are shorter by the same amount. This modification allows the same toe adjustment range as the factory pieces and also further reduces the strain placed on the inner tie rod end by transferring load to the stronger outer tie rod end. The tie rods can be used on stock or lifted vehicles and are optimized for vehicles with 1.5 inches of lift.

AFTERMARKET EXCLUSIVE | UPGRADED REPAIR THAT SAVES TIME & MONEY

PROBLEM: On certain vehicles with Chrysler EcoDiesel V6 engines, soot buildup in the intake manifold can cause a severe loss of power, smoke, and a burning smell. A dealer recall addresses failing EGR coolers on some EcoDiesels, but even if a cooler has been repaired under warranty, it may have already caused problems downstream that aren’t immediately noticeable. Soot can accumulate inside the manifold, preventing proper operation of the IMRC system, while regeneration cycles to help clean the diesel particulate filter add even more soot and heat from the EGR system. Ultimately the soot buildup acts as an insulator, causing trapped heat to warp the manifold and create a leak. Manifold runners and the MAP sensor can also be damaged or melted, creating a burning polymer residue that adds to the fouling of the IMRC system.

FIX: This upgraded Dorman OE FIX intake manifold features a deeper, more protective skirt on the sensor shroud, allowing the MAP sensor to be located farther out of the path of hot EGR gases. These engineering improvements can more effectively divert EGR heat and soot through the intake for a more reliable repair than the original design. This manifold can also help reduce cost by allowing still-functional sensors to be swapped into the new manifold, vs. the OEM replacement which can only be purchased with the MAP sensor, IMRC motor, and both runner sensors.

PROFESSIONALLY REMANUFACTURED IN THE USA | SIMPLE TO PROGRAM AND RESTORES ALL OE FEATURES

PROBLEM: The original equipment TCM on certain Ford Focus models uses compliant pin connections for critical components. Over time and normal use, the connections can become loose and begin to fail, causing automatic transmission malfunctions.

FIX: These Dorman OE FIX remanufactured TCMs feature soldered connections on all critical component connections for a more durable and reliable repair. Our upgraded modules are engineered to restore proper transmission functionality and eliminate erratic, unintentional and failed shifting and shift indicator response, and the clicking sound that may be emitted from the gear selector when the vehicle brake is applied.
