    And why are dormans l36 uims junk? Stock is junk too.
    stock is certainly a stronger type of plastic than the ****box dorman one and the revised GM is way better. If you ever have the chance, take a Phillips screwdriver and just start stabbing the OE one and then a dorman one and see what happens. I did this in a junkyard to see if a GM tech was bull****ting and he wasn't.

    Well I haven't tested dorman's, but I did try smashing the old stock one and couldn't. I threw it on the ground, and hit it with a sledge and it didn't break lol. BUT the egr and coolant port area was my main concern.

    lol the revised GM one has a metal spacer built in so the EGR pipe doesn't burn a hole or 2 in the plenum
