I have a 97 GT conv. and a leaking intake manifold, cracked by the thermostat housing. I thought I was going to have to spend $500 for a new and "improved" version but i found there's a recall on these plastic ones. I'm getting it fixed for free due to a recall. It's probably old news to some of you but time almost ran out for me, only 7 years from when car was made to get fixed. When i called for price from Ford parts dept. they didn't volunteer that its a recall issue. Maybe info for recall not in front of parts guy. Anyway I'm glad I found out about recall.
