I was just quoted 5.5 hours labor to R&R the intake gasket on my 1998 GMC Sierra 5.7 Liter.
parts and labor should run around $650
I was having a problem with my intake manifold gasket on my 2003 Pontiac grand am and i took it to a shop it was 600 dollars parts and labor you can get it much cheaper i just chose a mechanic i could trust. now it may not be intake manifold gasket the best way to tell is to lift your oil cap look at the backside of it and if there is a blueish tint liquid on the cap then your getting condensation which means bad intake gasket. But it can also be your thermostat housing messing up which would be much cheaper.
is their a web site, that will provide me with the a print out for the intstalling of a intake manifold gasket for a 2003 chevy aenture.
Pretty straight forward. You must remove the intake manifold in order to replace the gasket.
sounds like it might be head gasket or intake gasket

Had the same problem with my 2003 Axiom... It was my intake gasket. 50 dollar gasket.... easy fix
There is 2 of them and both of them are underneith the intake manifold. You will have to remove the intake to service the knock sensers.
under the intake manifold just had new ones put in +2003 6.o Chevy
There are 2 of them and you are not going to belive this, but both of them are underneith the intake manifold. You can't see are get to them until you remove the intake.
Head Gasket failure or intake gasket Dexcool is the culprit, had to replace mine.
