| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I have owned 2 1996-1997 chevrolet suburban and have had the intake manifold leak on both at about 85000 miles. i did a little local research and found that this is a very common problem for the vortec 5.7 engine. when i called the dealership about a coolant leak from the engine area, the service writer said this was most likely the intake manifold because they get that all the time. toay, i noticed a coolant puddle in my drive way and upon looking into it, my latest 1996 suburban with a vortec 5.7 is leaking at the intake manifold. this is a costly problem to the consumer. it costs approximately $500.00 to have this done. i now must make the decission to have it fixed at the dealer for $500 or to do it myself for about $150.00 and a day of headaches. *ak |
