My computer got fried about 2 weeks ago and since then I broke my intake manifold replacing a coolant sensor(I love plastic!) but now its up and running again. It did all the work myself and it wasnt all that bad. I pretty easy job when you got the tools. I paid $265 for a new manifold with the aluminum crossover and one of my buddies who has a 98 GT paid $900 for a new intake manifold w/ installation. I told him he got ripped off but he keeps saying that you have to have a special tool to take off the manifold. Well mines running great now and I love that V8 sound. Its my first and im taking super care of her. I've put 1.8 miles since I bought it june 2nd. But It was sitting for a couple days while I was tearing her apart. Just thought I'd catch up with you guys. O ya and my 2000 is running even better now that I found out why I was having a vibration at high speeds. I had it aligned and balanced and I guess some new guy didnt pay attention because all of the lugs on the front left tire where put on backwards. Im glad to be back!

 

How the hell you you do that?

 

Ummm... special tool? LOL Ive taken them off before and there is no special tool to remove the intake. LOL He did get ripped.

 

Ya I know I told him that I did mine and he said that his is a 98 and its different. I still say he got screwed.
