Well....
I am finally getting my intake manifold replaced. I bought my 04 last April with 150k and it had a small coolant leak from the crossover on the manifold. The leak has been mitigated by using some coolant tabs. However, I am getting lean codes. The first time I got the codes, I replaced a few vacuum lines and that did the trick. The codes came back and I am pretty sure its the intake manifold.
Since price is a big concern, I am going with the aftermarket Dorman. My local shop is giving me a solid deal on the labor. Any issues to look out for? Also, should I try to get some other stuff done while they are getting the manifold out? I've heard people replacing timing chins and spark plugs while they are in there.
Thanks! This forum is always a huge help.
