2014 - 2018 1500 GM HOW TO: Remove Intake Manifold

[DenaliX14]

Hey guys here is another HOW TO. I've seen a lot of questions for these but not actual HOW TO's. Hope these help

 

1. Disconnect Battery Terminal
2. Remove Air BOX assembly.
3. Unplug MAP sensor
4. Unplug EVAP solenoid (Picture is 5.3 L, the 6.2 {L86} is on the throttle body)
5. 
6. Pull the wire-harness off the Plastic intake cover.
7. Remove Throttle Body (4 bolts) Or disconnect Throttle Body wire.
8. 
9. Remove the intake manifold bolts 1/4 turn at a time until you can loosen and remove by hand. (see diagram for pattern).

 

A little trick for the number 7 Bolt, get a deep well socket and place on bolt, then put the ratchet on the socket and loosen. 

 

When re-installing the manifold follow the pattern in two torque specs.

 

Step 1 44 in-lbs

Step 2 89 in-lbs
