Cracked intake manifold.....
I just noticed my intake manifold is cracked, my car is an 01 Gt with 83000 miles is this normal for this many miles? Or is there something else that could be wrong to cause this? Last question should i upgrade from stock or would it be a waste of time, no upgrades on car besides headers, air intake and exhaust.. Thanks

That was a limited time settlement (not recall) from Ford that is no longer valid. It allowed people with a cracked intake or those that had it replaced at their expense have ford reimburse them for their expense or replaced the intake for them if it wasn't already replaced.

Mine cracked many years ago........most stock ones do. It's nothing to worry about. I would just replace it with a stock one. I think they are around $200. Aftermarket ones are 2 to 5 times more.

the one from ford should have the aluminum cross over already. You can double check with whoever you are buying it from, but I don't see them selling the out-dated know-to-break intakes.
I paid I think $235ish for mine back when my 99 sprung a leak.
