Air Intake Plenum Break

[tomg]

The old saying, you can lead a horse to water but can make them drink the water! Well how many times do we have to tell you that if you have not replaced the plenum, DO IT NOW!!! I went to Biketoberfest and come across 2 Stallions (different places) that had broken plenums and one had the heater plug/cap split and leaked his fluids out! Both of these items have been discussed several times on this site. Both parts look perfectly good until they break so why not take the time and change them so you don't get stranded somewhere.

Hey Tom were they site members? If not hope they will be.

One was a couple who live in Kentucky and somewhere in the middle of Florida so I guess you can say Snowbird who said they go on the site occasionally . I told them all the info they needed is there. The other I was ready to ring his neck as I had to get the parts and install them before we left their house to ride! He had assured me that he changed the plenum on his wife's Stallion after we got back front Tennessee a year ago! Tom

Hello

I know this is an old thread but I was wondering if anyone knows what vehicle the plenum tube came from orginally, someone said they got an oem tube was that from tbs or parts store.

Thanks

I replaced mine about three years ago, when it failed it acted the same as Ted mentioned in the first post. The new OEM part from TBMS was $123. and change. A trike shop near here had to order it and drop shipped it to me.

3D Printer makes parts just find a Tech School

I have been told some Tech Schools have classes for 3D printing of all kinds of things including auto parts such as the parts being discussed. Just call around in your area to the Tech schools and inquire.

Sorry for the delay. Been busy last couple of weeks. Just getting back. I’ll check asap and let you know. :wave4:

It’s been a while since I did the repairs. Don’t remember if I had to purchase new clamps or used existing clamps. The adapter for both ends of hose is supplied. The second adapter is not seen. It’s in package but it’s in the end of the hose. I hah no issues with it. Ran bout 50,000 miles with it and was still good when I sold Stallion last fall. :wave4:

Well here is a good one. MJ was riding her Stallion last night. We went to dinner came out and rode about 4 miles and stopped at a Publix for some milk. Came out started the Stallion and when we started to give it some gas it died just like it ran out of gas. we know it had at least 3 to 4 gallons so that was not the problem.

It would start and idle even in gear but push on the pedal and it would die. We idled down the street for 3 miles in traffic to the motel. I figured fuel filter or maybe fuel pump. Got up made arrangements at a garage to look at it and called AAA to have it towed.

While I was waiting I opened the hood to make sure I remembered where the data port was and noticed that the air intake plenum looked strange. Looked at it closer and it was completely broke in half where the air filter and plastic sectioned that the MAP sensor are mounted and attaches to the section of the plenum that goes to the throttle body.

It appears that the plastic failed from getting brittle over the 7 years of heat and vibration. I had some repair tape wrapped it nicely to put the whole thing back together sealed. That fixed the problem.

With the MAP sensor not being able to read moving air (the sensor was down line from the break) the ECM would not let the Fuel Injection work. No air No gas. Something to be aware of as our Stallions are aging. I will be looking into seeing if I can replace the plenum. Works great for now.

You posted a long time ago. Although you didn't replace fuel filter or pump then. I'm wondering if you know where each part is located and If you may know the PN. I am definitely going to have to replace the fuel filter (fuel pump will be a last resort) Looking for location and PN information before I start getting my hands dirty or help me decide I don't want to and let someone else at a shop do it for me.

The fuel filter is on the left side underneath. Put the trike on a ramp look underneath, easy to see. It is a Ford Ranger part and you need a special tool to release the fuel line, obtainable at any parts place.

5/16- 3/8 tool available about $7.00 @ most automotive stores

IMO you can't do better than OEM pumps, I have bad results with many aftermarket pumps including Napa among others

OEM pumps may cost more but get my vote

This fuel pump PN for 07 - 11 Ford Ranger 1FAC13350

If I end of replacing I will let everyone know what PN is.
