P.O.S Plastic Lower Cracked OPTIONS?

[HoustonGT]

Well, they not gonna fix it so fortunately d98gt is selling me his intake manifold and having a cool local guy do the swap tomorrow for a stock 01+ intake with the aluminum crossover. Id take the chance to upgrade some stuff while its down, but its my daily so i have to go with the quickest solution.
Ford said they would cover only if it cracked at the t-stat housing, those cheap plastic intake mother****ers

Wow, thats ****ty man. Its their POS intake it shouldnt matter where it cracks.

Glad you have a plan though. Just looking at it the swap isnt bad, ive had most of the stuff off of the top part of the engine and all the bolts arent in a PITA place or anything.

Mine did the same thing 60 miles from home but the local ford dealership fixed it after i had it towed back.

Go with a stock PI intake. They have the aluminum crossover. No need to spend 500+ on an aluminum one.

thats BS my manifold broke in the same spot as yours and my ford dealer replaced it with no problems.

That really makes me want to kill someone. Fortunately its all gonna run me under 200 dollars and i dont have to deal with ford having the car forever. Should be back up and running tomorrow

OK, I have the stock manifold WITH the aluminum crossover and mine is leaking coolant at the junction of the crossover and the manifold directly under the thermostat housing . . . Is this covered in the 7 year warranty? If so, has anyone else experienced this?
