ok seriously now i'm 3 for 3 on vortec 5.7 with bad intake gaskets. my 96 yukon had a mystery vacuum leak and loss of coolant at 115k. my 98 silverado blew coolant out of the exhaust at somewhere about 250k (ok that one i can understand), and now this nice low mileage 99 suburban i just bought also has coolant loss and rough idle.
i get that i need to check for vacuum leaks in other places and check for other coolant leaks before condemning the intake gaskets on the suburban, but i'm thinking it is that darn intake gasket.
but seriously i'm a little annoyed that i'm already spending money on the truck. if i wanted to deal with this i would have bought one with double the miles for half the price lol.
i guess i'm just venting. i'd have a shop do the work so i would have them do the fuel injection spider since there is no extra labor really, if they still used the crappy style in 99? is
ACDelco 217-3029
the one to get?
thanks all!
