the intake manifold cracked on my 2000 gt, i need to replace it. Does anyone know where i can get a new one besides the dealer?

 

Check with Ford about recalls...I got a 2000 too... haven't had a problem with mine but i hear they are quite problematic on the 2000's. How'd you find out it was the intake/What were the symptoms?

 

cause it's cracked, the coolant leaked out. i can't drive my car right now

 

there is a TSB for this check out

let me know how ford deals with it if ya could as i have the same car... if they replace yours free i may just try and get mine replaced before it cracks

 

I have a 98 GT and exactly a year ago in late march the intake manifold cracked. From what i hear the crown victoria's had the same problem and were recalled since its the same motor, but my ford dealer did not honor my car as a recall and i had to get the stock one for $1,200 installed. Just brought my car in on March 25th and what do you know, they say the manifold they put in is leaking so there replacing it for free this time.

 

If anyone needs one, I have a brand new PI intake. Let me know....$100.

 

hmmm, will it fit with stock 97 heads?

 

Heh, if you have to replace it anyway, maybe you can find a good deal on a bullitt intake. Then you'll probably not have to worry about it cracking (since it's aluminum and not plastic).

 

get the bullitt intake manifold

 

Whoever paid $1,200 for a stock intake got screwed big time. try looking at... www.mustangsunlimited.com
or.... www.brothersperformance.com
or.... www.steeda.com Or ebay, you can find a new intake stock or PI for about 100-150 bucks.
