Dorman 916-511XD Patented Multiple Displacement Solenoid Compatible with Select Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep Models (OE FIX)

It’s good quality and it works great it solves my problem on my truck

I started feeling a shudder slowing down at around 20 mph {very new long block from the dealers}the car will shake like your in the wrong gear, but you have an automatic trans.. The ? I disconnected the MDS harness and the shudder was gone. FN B with a hole in it.Mine has no top end in this condition but the low end just driving around and freeway seems okay. I have an engine light and it will not pass smog disconnected.I have changed one solenoid because of oil leak. Changing the other 3 next week. One or all three are clogged is my bet.I also have a chronic wrong oil type mill code with no dash engine light.It is not a transmission problem.I will update.

This Dorman 916-511 XD Cylinder deactivation solenoid was specified for my 2008 Chrysler Aspen. After installation as a replacement for the original factory installed solenoid, this Dorman solenoid failed after just 75 miles Of driving. It triggered the Check Engine light and threw a trouble code to suggest the part had failed. After considerable removal labor, bench-testing confirmed the part was indeed faulty—working and not-working intermittently. Dorman’s marketing hype for this solenoid suggests it is of superior quality to the factory original (which had performed flawlessly for 12 years). I took a chance and ordered another Dorman 916-511 XD . I mean what were the odds that two new Dorman solenoids specified for my vehicle would almost immediately fail. Especially in a well-maintained, relatively low-mileage vehicle, without any oil issues. Installation, by the way, is no small task—requires much unbuttoning under the hood and removal of the intake manifold. Alas, the second Dorman solenoid failed even faster than the first one. Two new faulty Dorman solenoids and two intake manifold gasket kits and a whole lot of expensive labor later I was right back where I started. Three strikes you’re out. No, This time I opted to purchase the pricier “Made in USA” part from a Chrysler dealer, which in hindsight is what I should have done in the first place. I have over 500 miles on the dealer part without issue. Just for the record, I personally placed the Amazon order for the first Dorman solenoid. Another family member placed the second order. The only positive thing about our Dorman solenoid purchase experience was AMAZON. The ordered parts arrived with amazing speed. And upon return of the defective parts to Amazon, refunds were no-hassle smooth and quickly forthcoming. In fairness, honest feedback from me would read: FIVE STARS for AMAZON, zero stars for Dorman. With regard to their 916-511 XD Cylinder Deactivation Solenoid being compatible with a 2008, Hemi-powered 8 cylinder Chrysler Aspen. It ain’t !!!

Part has been installed for a few weeks works great.

Due to most of the others being made out of plastic , this is the better of them.It seems plastic gets hot and O rings leak.

Exactly what I was looking for but I should have tested them before putting them in. I hired a mechanic to put in all four but after he was done, one of the solenoids was defective and now it will cost $450 in labour instead of the original 250. On a good note they did sent me a replacement part fast and 3 out of 4 worked.

I have ordered 6 of these Dorman "Upgraded" parts total, and 4 of them have failed. These last 2 tested fine, started fine, and then failed within 10 miles of home. I have spent more time this month under the hood of my truck than with my family. Many other reviews share similar experiences, and I had hoped to have a better experience. !JUNK! I will be buying Mopar from another source to get this problem solved, and my truck back to running correctly. !WILL NOT BUY THESE AGAIN!

Got his for my 5.7 since OE one broke do have to say being a metal design is way nice compared to plastic. Installed easy, but removing old one was a nightmare ended up using a small body dent puller parts store 15.00 and pulled it. This product is also way cheaper on here vs parts stor just keep in mind if you can go a couple daya without it its a better value on your pocket
