They seem to think that the problem begain in 1995. I know the wife's '94 had the same problem. Anybody know what year the intake gasket problem started? Did they change the gaskets when they went to aluminum heads?

[sharkey]

problem is on gen 3 motors only. i havent heard of a gen 2 with that problem.

[discostu]

I always thought it was a problem with DexCool.
Doesn't it eat gasket material away?

[firechiken]

They don't even mention what engines it affects. It was only the 660, right? Dexcool was used in more engines then that. And dexcool is still being used, isn't it?

Don't be so ready to blame dexcool. My 95 3100 had the LIM leak and this car had regular green antifreeze in it from day 1.

T.O.? I was thinking Terrell Owens., My bad...

It was leaking coolant, she said, and her warning light was on. An independent mechanic diagnosed a leaking intake manifold gasket -- and told her she should get it replaced.

Eventually, her GM Montana broke down completely. Now, she needs a new head gasket -- a significant repair.

500 repair turns into 1700 because she's a retard. I will now sleep better knowing that she got what was coming to her.

Yeah I know, I thought that was kinda odd that they'd put in just how stupid she really was.

[El_Diablo]

Ditto: I did the LIM gasket in my gf's 1994 3100 beretta. It too only had green coolant and the car only has 45,000 miles on it!

[96mcls]

yep my moms 94 GP did this with 20K miles, i don't know what type of coolant it had because i was only like 8-9 years old when it happened and really didn't care about cars too much back then.


atleast my car is not on the list lol
