No problems here yet, 45000 miles. Hope I don't have to retract this statement any time soon either.

the changes that have been made over the years have focused on the material of the lower intake EGR stovepipe... read up on it in the 92-99 section... do a search for posts by mkaake in that area, and its something to the effect of 'upper intake failure information'

lots o good information, from gm (though don't take it as an official word from GM).

I can't think of any '00+ that had the upper fail. I don't know if there'* any with enough miles on it to really know for sure.
