I had 99' Pontiac and replaced lower intake manifold gasket so I dont know this will help much but here it goes. First off you have to go to autozone and buy one of those repair books for your truck. Second you have to follow the instructions for replacing a intake manifold. Just remember *important* to mark all hoses and all connections properly so you'll know where they go back in place. And dont forget to torque the manifold following sequence and in/ft lbs. I think you have to take off your fuel rail and injectors, might be a good idea to replace the O'rings on those also. Alternator and Power Steering pump come off to i believe, just follow the instructions not that hard should only take you bout six hours messin around with it. Good luck
The last one we did in our shop was a little over $600
It is on the back of the intake manifold.
It is between the upper and lower intake manifold. The gasket is an o-ring type.
Need to check the 4 corners on the intake manifold. It is common for the intake to leak engine coolant.
On the poppet bank under the upper intake manifold.
Remove the intake manifold retaining bolts from your 1996 Chevy Astro Van. Remove the manifold gasket and clean the surface. Reverse the process to install the new intake manifold gasket.
On the 4.3 engine it is located under the upper intake manifold. The upper intake manifold must be removed to gain access to it.
Under the upper intake manifold. The upper intake manifold would have to be removed to gain access to the bank of injector poppets (the spider).
its more likely to be the intake gaskets.
It depends on what you have to remove to get the intake manifold off. Once the intake manifold is off it will take about an hour.
i have the haynes book from auto zone for mine, it has step by step instructions for taking off your intake manifold. i know cause im pretty sure my gasket just blew saturday.....so i been researching it also
It is under the upper intake manifold, attached to the bank of poppets.
