Market analysis
Why does the Ram 1500 intake manifold cost more?
A used Ram 1500 intake manifold carries a median asking price of $150, which is 29% higher than the Chevy Suburban at $116. Supply also plays a role: Ram 1500 has 1,349 priced listings versus 151 for Chevy Suburban, and more listings generally mean more choices and more competitive pricing.
The Chevy Suburban average ($177) runs 53% above its median ($116), indicating a tail of high-priced listings — likely low-mileage or remanufactured units pulling the average up.
Our guide covers 9 model years for the Ram 1500 (2015–2025) but only 3 for the Chevy Suburban (2015–2019), so the Ram 1500 data reflects a broader range of generations.
The Ram 1500 intake manifold is interchangeable across 15 model years versus just 11 for the Chevy Suburban — that wider compatibility window means more donor vehicles in salvage yards and tends to push prices lower.
At Grade A (excellent) condition, the Chevy Suburban is 27% cheaper ($106 vs $146) — the gap narrows compared to the overall median difference.
Buyer's checklist
What to check before buying a used intake manifold
- Inspect composite or metal manifolds for hairline heat cracks, blown runner gaskets, or oil soaking inside the plenum from bad PCV systems.
- Verify throttle body flange bolt pattern, MAP sensor mounting port, and vacuum port locations across model years and engine generations.
- Check variable intake runner flaps (IMTV or DISA valves) and actuator vacuum bladders or electric motors for proper movement without binding.
- Examine head mounting flanges for warping or deep gouges that prevent a vacuum-tight seal against the intake gaskets.
