Default WTB: 5.3L truck intake manifold

I'm looking for an intake manifold, ONLY, for my '04 Tahoe w/ a 5.3L in it. My runners are warped by at the last 2 cylinders on the pass. side. IF anyone has one that is not warped at all let me know. If you need to check it you have to check 2 runners at a time not just go down the whole side.

I have no idea what causes them to warp, it may say so in the TSB I have at work just never really read it throughly.

How much you wan't for it? I know a guy that knows someone that is parting out a whole 5.3 but I won't know anything till Monday, so I'll get back at ya's

It's all about the plastic. The flanges on the bottom where the gaskets are are known for warping and causing seal leaks.

FYI, if you need one. I have a 30k mile 2004 Tahoe one that is perfect. Took off the intake for an LS-6 intake for my Sonoma swap.

Can have pics up tonight if you need.
