I was driving to my house and stepped on the gas and antifreeze just flys on my windshield. it started to smoke everywhere so i parked the car turned it off and opened the hood. the nipple from the intake manifold to the heater hose is broken, a piece of the nipple is still stuck in the heater hose. is there a way i can just fix the nipple, or do i have to replace the whole intake manifold. is it hard to replace by your self? if not how do you do it? thanks very much.

 

Not even the best epoxy in the world will fix that given the extreme conditions that is exposed to. Gonna have to bite the bullit and get a Dorman intake off summit, I think they are about $200 you can do the swap yourself.

 

yep, new intake time, sorry bud

 

Same thing happen to me, straight forward swap.
