Where the Ram 1500 intake manifold is listed
We found priced Ram 1500 intake manifold listings at 413 salvage yards across 44 states. Indiana supplies the most, with 572 listings (21% of the total) from 16 yards.

Market analysis
How much does a used Ram 1500 intake manifold cost?
Asking prices for a used Ram 1500 intake manifold are unusually spread out: the top listing asks more than ten times what the cheapest does, so which unit you pick matters more than the median.
Fitment variant moves the price more than most buyers expect. The most affordable variant we track, 3.0L, engine opt EFH, lists at a $96 median, while 3.0L, engine opt EFC (high output) commands $241, a 151% gap inside the same part category. Confirm which variant your VIN requires before comparing quotes.
Model year matters too: 2017 units carry the lowest median at $96, while 2020 tops the table at $200. Parts from 2015–2022 are interchangeable, so if the 2017 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 7 compatible years.
Against comparable vehicles, the Ram 1500 sits 25% below the Mercedes S Class ($181), 43% below the Ram 3500 ($235), and 7% above the Mercedes E Class ($126) for the same part. The “similar vehicles” cards below open each comparison guide.
Buying a used intake manifold: what to check
- Inspect composite runners for heat cracks: Examine plastic manifolds for oil-softened walls, heat cracks, or snapped vacuum port nipples along the plenum.
- Verify variable runner flap operation: Move variable intake runner flap linkages and vacuum actuators by hand to ensure internal butterfly valves rotate freely.
- Check rubber gasket groove channels: Examine sealing channels around cylinder head intake ports to ensure plastic retaining walls are not chipped.
- Confirm sensor port and throttle flange fit: Match vacuum line nipples, manifold absolute pressure sensor mounts, and throttle body bolt dimensions.
- Install new molded rubber port gaskets: Replace all port seals and throttle body gaskets with fresh silicone seals to prevent lean engine vacuum leaks.
