Default UPS dropped intake, need help! rear fitting busted!
I shipped a ls6 intake to a guy. And ups dropped it and busted the fitting on the rear.

Is the rear fitting on the back of the intake replaceable? If so whats the part number?

Thanks,

yes its the map sensor, as long as the manifold itself isnt damaged it can be replaced

im not talking about the actual sensor, im talking about the circular piece. I believe you can yank them out if you remove a clip or something.

Gotcha. I sold a PC about a year ago and they DESTROYED it. Guy who had it got the full insurance for it and was actually able to keep the unbusted parts.

They bust more ****! Make them pay for it, but atleast your taking care of the buyer. That's good business.

I believe this is the same part that people often break when trying to install an LS6 intake manifold on a camaro or firebird. It may have been broken during an install, not by UPS. Just a thought.

I had a similar problem and the stealership told me NO. It only comes with a new intake.
