if you have the old intake that is entirely plastic it should still be covered by warranty.
2003 certainly had the aluminum crossover. The o-ring is kinda hard to put on wrong but i guess it could happen. Two bolts will tell us!
i thought it had all sprayed out!
Mine cracked at seven years and six months. I was pissed. Got an Ebay special for $140.
its not the gasket. My brother confirmed the crack.
For some who havent really checked my last couple threads. About a week ago my car did slightly overheat, but i quickly caught and pulled over immediately. It was very low on coolent, didnt even realize becuase i only check in between my oil changes, and i was only about 2k miles after my last oil change.
So, i decided to flush the radiator, and change the thermostat, i did relace the gasket with a new one. And although im not the biggest car Wiz, im sure it was installed correctly. It wasnt the first time.
The rest of the week i noticed my coolent still getting low, Chris (CobraRed_96GT) explained our cars take a lot of fluid, and im prolly going to fill it up a few more times to get the right level going. I said ok.
Yesterday, i decided to clean my engine. After that was done, i started my car and let her dry. That was when i noticed the coolent dripping down a bit on the front face plate from the driver side coolent crossover side. ( in my mind, i said, omfg, again!!!! ) i had this same problem with my 98gt. So, i gave it a lil rev, and as you see in the vid, water was shooting out.
Although, i am pretty dam upset for a couple reasons. such as, Ford was suppose to correct this. Its not covered by warrenty, and finally, its just a p.i.t.a.
Upside of this. The stock manifold replacement is relatively inexpensive, However, my brother is nagging at me, that this is a good time for a Typhoon Manifold, Throttle Body, and Plenum Upgrade.
I will keep this thread going to throw up some before and after pics, and the build progress, ( i know its not that hard to do all this, but its a big deal for me)
