I did a search but no luck. Anyone here changed intake gaskets? (97 4.3 auto S10)I'm trying to figure out whether to replace them or snooker somebody into buying it leaking or adding some Stop-Up. Dex-clog has beaten me, I will never own another newer GM. Brian

I'd change it out, not that difficult (just did a head and intake on one) It's ok to buy it with dexcool, just have it flushed out with acid flush and replaced with normal green stuff...

I have heard horror stories about distributor line-up, this truck is OBD-II. Anyone have any info?

mark your distributor before you pull it and you shouldent have a problem. havent done the intake gasket on the newer 4.3s but ive done them on the 96+ 5.7s and that wasnt too bad. there was an upper and lower intake gasket on those... not sure bout yours though

It's a peice of cake to do. About a half a day job and your up and running again.
