| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I have two gmc vehicles with the same engine, a gas 5.7l v8, that required intake manifold gasket replacement within one month of each other. the first vehicle is a 1996 1500 suburban with 90,000 miles. the other is a 1998 k1500 pickup with 80,000 miles. both leaks occurred at the rear of the bottom intake manifold. the mechanic performing the repair states this is a very common problem with his shop performing approximately 5-6 a month in a town of only 30,000. the dealer denies any generic problem. inspection of the gasket implies a temperature related problem of the gasket body that undermines the seal ridge. *jb |
