Talking Luving my MCSS

Hi all im Nilah here in Phoenix AZ. I have a 2004 Monte Carlo SS and its the best car I have ever owned!! It's a kick a** car! I have (no lie) over 250,000 miles and she is still running strong! I do have only ONE complaint...the damn Intake Manifold has been fixed 4 times!! Thats the only complaint I have!! Anyone else have this problem?

Greetings!

When the intake gasket is being replaced are they using the improved aftermarket gasket made from metal instead of nylon? That usually fixes the problem with no re-occurrence of leakage.
