    Hey folks, just checking in - bought a 2003 GP GT about a month ago - kind of a desperation move, as I limped into a dealer with a dying Taurus. I needed a car to get back on the road, as I drive for a living now. The car is pretty clean, 75k miles, probably paid a little too much for it, but it's a done deal now.

    I used to be a mechanic, and sought ought one of my old GM techs to replace the upper and lower intake - in order to be proactive and not end up with a problem. Seems that after making arrangements with him to replace them he more or less became scarce the weekend this work was to be done. So, I did the job myself, at home. Anyway, everything seems to be good now and look forward to being on this site.

    Welcome. It's amusing how some people disappear when you need help. Anyway, enjoy the new ride.

    I know - it's not like he wasn't going to be paid for this job. He's done quite a bit of side work for me over the years. It was kind of a hot weekend, I can see how you wouldn't want to do this job on your day off and in hot weather. I just wish he would have answered the phone and told me he didn't want to do it.
