Hey guys i need your advice.

Long story short i ordered a new intake manifold, my old one was cracked, i accidently bought a newer style one (05-06) my tj is a 02, the new style (04854036AC) has no port for the air temperature sender (i believe that's what it is) and it looks like only 2 vacuum fittings coming off the side. My intake manifold has the air intake temp sender port on the top and 3 vacuum ports on the side (04854036)

Will this still work? does it bolt up the same? can i drill and tap a new port of the air intake temp sender, did the 05-06 have a different location ?? and actually looking again i think there is a 3rd vacuum port on the newer manifold i just didnt see it in the pics before so that might be ok. Has anyone used a newer style manifold on an older tj?


Thank you very much.

There are writeups on converting to the new style manifold out there, just google it.

The Intake Air Temp sensor was moved to the plastic air intake pipe on these.
