Stencil Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 Wondering if anyone has had experiance changing the intake manifold gaskets on a 00' 3.5 Shortstar? It appears that mine are starting to leak a little and I thought I'd ask and see if anyone's done this before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IRONDOG442 Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 Usually these NEVER leak, they do not pass dexcool from bank to bank so the only thing that would leak from the intake would be fuel or air? There are two nipples on the bottom of the throttle body that cool the tb and those hoses may have came loose. You can see them in the bottom pic as well they are steel and they have two 1/4 inch rubber hoses coming from them. Here is a picture of my intake removed from last week. The grey rubber pieces in the second picture on the bottom of the plenum are made of neoprene and actually reusable. I have never seen them fail.
