If it is a supercharged engine you should have no problems. But if it isn't you will have to replace the upper intake which is made of plastic. GM did drop the price of these parts around $138.00 for manifold and maybe another $40.00 for the gaskets. No certain time or mileage could happen anytime,just keep a close eye on the coolant level .When it starts to disappear with no signs of external leaks it's going inside and burning it up.If it lets loose all at once it will fill the cylinders full of antifreeze and the engine will act locked up.Just will need to replace the spark plugs along with the manifold then.They seem to come out of it ok.Just another case of GM trying to build in problems.I'm surprized this hasn't brought them yet another class action lawsuit.
