    PROBLEM WITH THE INTAKE MANIFOLD CASKET. THE PART FAILS AND THE ALLOW COOLANT TO LEAK INTO THE OIL PAN. THIS CASUSE A LOSS OF COOLANT AND WILD TEMPATURE FUNCUATIONS. THIS IS A WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM WITH THIS PART AND SHOULD BE RECALLED A A DEFECTIVE PART. IN FACT THE PART HAS BEEN REPLACED IN MORE RECENT GM MODELS. IF SOME ONE WOULD DO A LITTLE RESEARCH YOU WOULD FIND THAT PROBLEM IS MORE WIDE SPREAD THAN GM IS WILLING TO ADMIT TO. *AK
