[{"type":"text","content":"COLMAR, Pa., Sept. 08, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Dorman Products, Inc. (NASDAQ:DORM) is announcing today the release of more than 200 new motor vehicle parts, fully half of which are aftermarket-exclusives. The new products join an ever-expanding catalog of 118,000+ aftermarket solutions that advance the company’s mission of giving repair professionals and owners greater freedom to fix a wide range of passenger and commercial vehicles with internal combustion, hybrid, and electric powertrains. This month’s featured new products include more Dorman® OE FIX™ parts, adding to the company’s list of thousands of unique OE FIX repair solutions designed to help save time, save money, or increase reliability. This month’s featured OE FIX is a new engine heater hose assembly, strengthening Dorman’s position as a premier aftermarket supplier for heater hoses with coverage for millions of vehicles on the road today.

It comes complete with the protective sheathing, clamps, and routing bracket designed to match the fit and form of the original equipment assembly.

This month, four new aftermarket-exclusive kits containing pre-packaged assortments of those bolts are being introduced. Two hub rotor and caliper bracket bolt kits (966-002 and 966-003), designed to fit almost one million hardworking Ford Transit vans, contain all the single-use, torque-to-yield bolts that must be replaced during every brake service. Also, two hub and bearing mounting bolt sets (926-171 and 926-172) are being released, designed to fit a combined 3+ million Chrysler, Dodge, and Ram trucks and SUVs. All the corrosion-resistant carbon steel bolts in these sets are engineered to match the original equipment bolt design to provide specified clamping force. Three new engine air intake hoses designed to directly replace the factory hoses are being introduced this month, and as with all Dorman hoses, are constructed of premium materials to help ensure long service life.
