INTAKE PAN/GASKET NEEDED.

[Brian VT]

I grabbed one to. I don't know when I'll need it but I figured I'd better grab one since they seem to be rare from what I've read here. And I plan to keep this truck until I'm dead.
It arrived today in perfect condition.
I just did a quick search now and it seems that these are readily available from many places. What's up with that?

Demand was finally up high enough to where they started making them again? Lol
Might get myself one too, already have a spare balancer....

I found a place that seems to have them just this week. It cost about $150 including shipping. It should arrive tomorrow hopefully there is actually a valley pan gasket in the box when it gets here. I will post an update tomorrow once I get it.

I talked to the owner of woodline company, these are going to be around for some time, they have 20 in stock, and over 50 in what he calls floating inventory. And they all get bent in shipping. PAI is venturing into the IDI market with more engine parts coming.

Would work on a 6.9 also?

YES!!

Awesome to hear that Russ thanks for the info!

I would have ordered them before but I'd never heard of that company (woodline) so I was leery. There's so many scammers these days.
