AFFECTED VEHICLES
| 2007 Raider 3.7L V6 only produced on or before March 12, 2007 |
PROCEDURE
1. Record the radio presets and disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Disconnect the intake air temperature sensor.
3. Remove the air intake tube at the throttle body.
 | 4. Remove the four throttle body mounting bolts. Then remove the throttle body from the intake manifold and place to the side.
5. Check the condition of the throttle body-to-intake manifold o-ring and replace if necessary. 6. Clean mating surfaces of throttle body and intake manifold. |
 | 7. Apply a small diameter bead (about 1 mm) of RTV to the intake manifold-to-throttle body joint, inboard of the o-ring. The RTV is to be applied to the lower section of the joint between the lower two throttle body bolt attachment holes as shown.
8. Reinstall the throttle body. Tighten the four attachment bolts to 60 in lbs (7 Nm). 9. Wipe off all excessive RTV from the inside of the joint. 10. Reinstall the air intake tube at the throttle body. |
11. Reconnect the intake air temperature sensor.
12. Reconnect the negative battery cable and reset the radio presets and clock.
13. Verify the condition no longer exists.

1DFAUL RTV Silicone Gasket Maker, High Temp Silicone Resist Oil, Black,170g
- Our RTV silicone is a sealing product specifically designed for automotive engines to prevent oil and gas leaks and ensure efficient operation. Our silicone sealant can also be used in gearboxes, front and rear axles, and pump superchargers, form various silicone gasket
- Our gasket sealant cures quickly into a leak-proof gasket that replaces cutting gaskets. They are flexible and will not shrink or crack even under high temperature, cold, high pressure, or vibration, maintaining a strong bond
- Our high temperature silicone sealant is oil-resistant, non-corrosive, water proof, freeze-proof, fully fills gaps in surfaces, seals completely, prevents fluid leakage and reduces energy loss
- Suggestions for use: After cleaning the oil on the surface with cleaning fluid, apply high temperature silicone evenly. During the curing process, a certain amount of pressure needs to be applied to ensure that silicone RTV fully fills the gaps
- NOTE: Carry out a sealing test after sealing to prevent damage to the instrument during actual use; Curing time is different in different environments, eg: 25℃, 10~30min; Applicable temperature: - 60~+300°C; Ultimate pressure: ≥10MPa
