Do you have a Dodge Journey 2.0 CRD and the vehicle has lost power, pulls poorly, or you hear a hissing sound from the engine compartment during acceleration?

Then it is quite possible that the problem is not the turbo.
And not even the injection system.

Very often, the problem is a damaged or leaking intake hose with the original part number:

04891898AB

An inconspicuous part at first glance.
In reality, however, it is an absolutely essential component of the entire engine turbocharging system.

What is Mopar 04891898AB? 🔍

The original 04891898AB part is an OEM intake hose / air intake turbo hose designed for:

• Dodge Journey JC 2.0 CRD
• model years 2009–2010

This is an original Mopar hose that connects parts of the intake system of the turbocharged diesel engine.

This part operates under:

• high pressure
• high temperature
• engine vibrations
• long-term mechanical stress

And that is precisely why it is one of the components that wear out more frequently on diesel Journey models.

Why does the intake hose crack so often? ⚠️

The 2.0 CRD engine produces high turbo pressure, and the hose is constantly under stress.

The most common causes of damage:

🌡️ High temperatures

The turbo system produces extreme heat, which gradually degrades the rubber material of the hose.

💨 Boost pressure

During acceleration, the hose is under high pressure. After years of use, the material begins to soften or crack.

🛢️ Oil vapors

Diesel engines produce oil deposits that gradually damage the structure of the hose from the inside.

⏳ Natural aging of the material

On vehicles more than 10+ years old, this is a completely common fault.

And the Dodge Journey 2.0 CRD has now reached the age when these problems occur very frequently.

How can I identify a faulty intake hose? 🚨

A damaged intake hose usually becomes apparent very quickly.

Typical symptoms:

• 🔴 loss of power
• 🔴 the vehicle does not pull during acceleration
• 🔴 hissing or blowing from the engine compartment
• 🔴 engine limp mode
• 🔴 increased smoke
• 🔴 illuminated check engine light
• 🟠 irregular turbo operation
• 🟠 higher fuel consumption

Many owners unnecessarily investigate:

• turbo
• mass air flow sensor
• EGR valve
• injectors

while the actual problem is the leaking hose.

Why use an original Mopar part? ✅

There are many inexpensive aftermarket alternatives on the market.

But with pressurized hoses in particular, the difference in quality can be enormous.

Original Mopar 04891898AB offers:

✅ exact OEM dimensions

The hose fits perfectly without modifications.

✅ proper pressure resistance

Cheap copies often cannot withstand long-term stress.

✅ high-quality material

Original Mopar uses compounds resistant to:

• heat
• oil
• vibrations
• turbo pressure

✅ longer service life

An OEM part usually lasts significantly longer than a cheap aftermarket solution.

✅ trouble-free installation

No improvisation or modifications.

With turbocharged diesel engines, hose quality is extremely important.
A cheap copy can crack very quickly.

Which vehicles is the 04891898AB hose designed for? 🚗

Compatibility:

OEM numbers:

• 04891898AB
• 04891898AA

What happens if you ignore the fault? ❌

A faulty intake hose is not a minor issue.

Driving for a long time with a leak can cause:

• turbo overload
• increased fuel consumption
• engine limp mode
• poor combustion
• excessive smoke
• additional faults in the intake system

And in the end, it can cost you much more money than replacing the hose itself.

How is the hose replaced? 🔧

The good news?

In most cases, it is a relatively simple repair.

You will need:

• 🔧 basic socket set
• 🔩 screwdrivers
• 🧤 work gloves

Procedure:

1. Remove the original hose
2. Check the connections and clamps
3. Clean the area around the intake
4. Install the new hose
5. Check the system for leaks

⏱️ Installation time:
approximately 30–60 minutes depending on experience and access to the engine.

Are you one of the proud owners of the legendary Dodge Challenger? Then you probably know what we are talking about. The trunk strut – a seemingly minor component – can seriously complicate the everyday use of your vehicle. Let's go through everything you need to know!

What exactly is a trunk strut and why is it important?

A trunk strut (also called a gas strut or trunk lid damper) is a component that ensures the trunk lid remains open in the correct position without the need to hold it up by hand. It is a hydraulic-gas component that operates on the principle of compressed gas enclosed inside the strut body.

Without a functioning strut, the trunk lid closes on its own, which can cause:

• ✋ Unpleasant injuries – the lid can fall on your head or back while loading luggage
• 📦 Complications when loading – the need to hold the lid with one hand
• 🔧 Damage to the paint and bodywork – repeated impacts of the lid can damage surrounding parts

Why do trunk struts on the Dodge Challenger fail so often?

The Dodge Challenger – whether the LC (2008–2014) or LA (2015–2024) version – is a vehicle with a relatively heavy trunk lid. This places increased demands on the struts and is one of the main reasons why their replacement is among the most common repairs on this model.

The main causes of premature wear include:

1. 🌡️ Temperature fluctuations

The gas filling inside the strut is very sensitive to temperature changes. Alternating freezing winters and hot summers – typical of the Central European climate – gradually reduces the gas pressure inside the strut.

2. ⏳ Natural aging of the seals

The rubber seals that keep the gas inside the strut harden, crack and stop performing their function over time. In vehicles older than 5–7 years, this is a completely natural process.

3. 🏋️ Weight of the trunk lid

The Challenger's trunk lid is significantly heavier than those of ordinary passenger cars due to the vehicle's robust construction. The struts are therefore constantly subjected to greater pressure and have a shorter service life.

4. 🌧️ Moisture and corrosion

The struts are located in an exposed position and are subjected to rain, snow and road salt. Corrosion of the outer casing can accelerate the degradation of the entire component.

How do I know when it's time to replace the trunk struts?

Replacing the struts should not be postponed. You can easily recognize the need for replacement by these symptoms:

🔴 The trunk lid closes on its own – the most typical symptom

🟠 The lid stays open only at a certain angle – the strut still works but is losing strength

🟡 The lid opens slowly or with resistance – the strut is stiff or damaged

🟡 Visible corrosion or damage to the strut body

🟢 Preventive replacement – we recommend replacement after 8–10 years of use or when purchasing a used vehicle

The correct replacement strut for your Dodge Challenger

For both generations of the Dodge Challenger – LC (2008–2014) and LA (2015–2024) – the same replacement strut is specified under the original part number:

💡 Tip: Struts should always be replaced in pairs – even if only one is damaged, the other is usually in the same condition and will soon fail as well. Replacing both at the same time will save you time and money on repeated work.

How is the trunk strut replaced?

Good news! Replacing the trunk strut on a Dodge Challenger is a relatively simple operation that even a capable DIY enthusiast can handle. You do not need any special tools or a lift.

You will need:

• 🔧 A flat-head screwdriver or plastic pry tool
• 🧤 Work gloves
• 👤 An assistant (recommended for holding the lid)

Replacement procedure:

1. Open the trunk lid and secure it in the open position (e.g. with a rod or with the help of another person).

2. Locate the struts – they are located on both sides of the trunk lid and attached with joint pins.

3. Disconnect the lower mounting – using a flat-head screwdriver or plastic pry tool, carefully slide out the retaining ring and remove the strut from the lower pin.

4. Disconnect the upper mounting – release the strut from the upper pin on the trunk lid in the same way.

5. Install the new strut – in reverse order. Make sure the retaining rings are seated correctly.

6. Check functionality – open and close the trunk lid several times to verify that the new struts are functioning correctly.

⏱️ Total installation time: approximately 15–30 minutes

Are you one of the Dodge Challenger owners who, every time you see a Hellcat Widebody or Demon, says to yourself:
“THIS is exactly how my Challenger should have looked from the factory.”?

Then you are in the right place.

The original Mopar Widebody Kit 77072552AC is one of the most significant upgrades you can give your Challenger. It is not just a cosmetic modification. Widebody completely changes the character of the car – visually, dynamically and emotionally.

And honestly?
The difference between a standard Challenger and a Widebody version is huge.

What is the Mopar Widebody Kit 77072552AC and why does everyone want it? 🏁🔥

The Widebody kit with the original part number 77072552AC is an OEM Mopar set designed for Dodge Challenger LA platform model years:

• 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023

It is an original Dodge/Mopar solution inspired by factory models:

• 🔥 SRT Hellcat Widebody
• 🐍 Dodge Demon
• ⚡ Scat Pack Widebody
• 💀 Redeye Widebody

That means one thing:
your Challenger gets an authentic OEM Widebody look without compromise.

No cheap tuning.
No crooked aftermarket fiberglass.
No “fake” widebody extension.

This is original Mopar.

Why is the Widebody Challenger so extremely popular? 😈

One look from the rear is enough.

The Widebody Challenger looks:

• wider
• lower
• more aggressive
• more expensive
• more brutal

And that is exactly why Widebody versions have become a symbol of modern American muscle cars.

When Dodge introduced the Hellcat Widebody, the internet literally exploded. Fans loved:

• huge fenders
• wide stance
• massive wheels
• brutal proportions

Widebody does exactly what a muscle car needs.

It looks dangerous even while standing still in a parking lot.

Widebody is not just about looks. It also brings real driving benefits 🏎️💨

Many people think it is only a design upgrade.

Wrong.

A Widebody conversion allows the use of significantly wider wheels and tires.

That means:

• 🛞 better traction
• ⚡ better power transfer
• 🏁 more stable cornering
• 🔥 better grip under acceleration
• 💪 a more aggressive driving feel

And every HEMI owner knows the Challenger has more than enough power.

Wider tires are exactly what helps put that power safely onto the road.

 

How much does Widebody change the look of the car? 😳

Honestly?

Radically.

A standard Challenger looks like an elegant American coupe.

A Widebody Challenger looks like a car ready for:

• the drag strip
• a car show
• a burnout contest
• or straight onto the set of a new Fast & Furious movie

The extended fenders dramatically change the proportions of the car:

• the car looks wider
• lower
• more muscular
• more aggressive

And that is exactly why Widebody builds are among the most photographed Challengers in the world.

Why choose the original Mopar kit instead of aftermarket copies? ⚠️

This is where the most important part comes in.

You can find dozens of cheap Widebody kits online.

But the reality is often a disaster:

• ❌ poor fitment
• ❌ cheap fiberglass
• ❌ uneven edges
• ❌ extensive modifications required
• ❌ material cracking
• ❌ non-factory appearance

The original Mopar Widebody kit offers:

✅ OEM fitment

The parts fit the Challenger body perfectly.

✅ Factory appearance

The car does not look “rebuilt”.
It looks like an original factory Widebody.

✅ High-quality materials

Mopar uses OEM quality standards.

✅ Higher vehicle value

Original Mopar parts have significantly higher value than aftermarket tuning.

✅ No compromises

No endless fitting or improvisation.

If you are building your Challenger properly, OEM Mopar is the only right way.

What does the Mopar Widebody Kit 77072552AC include? 📦🔧

The original kit includes:

• front widebody flares
• rear widebody flares
• mounting hardware
• OEM installation components
• installation templates

This is a professional OEM solution prepared for a high-quality conversion.

Which Dodge Challengers is this kit suitable for? 🚗

The kit is designed for Dodge Challenger LA 2015–2023.

Compatible models:

• Dodge Challenger SXT
• Dodge Challenger GT
• Dodge Challenger R/T
• Dodge Challenger Scat Pack
• Dodge Challenger Hellcat (non-widebody)

💡 We always recommend verifying compatibility by the vehicle VIN.

Installing the Widebody kit – what do you need to know? 🔧

This is not stick-on tuning from eBay.

An OEM Widebody conversion requires:

• ✂️ fender modification
• 🎨 professional painting
• 🔩 precise installation
• 📏 careful part alignment

That is exactly why the finished car looks like a factory Widebody version.

A properly built Mopar Widebody Challenger is practically indistinguishable from an original Hellcat Widebody.

Widebody + the right wheels = an absolute gamechanger 🛞🔥

Only with the right wheels does Widebody truly make sense.

The most popular setup:

• 20" wheels
• concave rims
• aggressive offset
• 305–315 mm tires

The result is the iconic stance you know from American Hellcat builds.

And that is exactly when the Challenger starts to look truly brutal.

Why buy the Widebody kit right now? ⏳

Dodge Challenger production ended in 2023.

And that means one thing:

• 📈 prices of original Mopar parts will rise
• 📦 availability of OEM kits will get worse
• 🔥 quality Widebody builds will become even more desirable

Now is the ideal time to build a Challenger that will retain its value for years to come.
