I am guessing that the two possible causes of an intake manifold leak are either a bad gasket or a cracked manifold?
I fear I don't know very much about the vacuum system in my van: are the...

Thanks again! I am in upstate NY so its pretty hilly but we...

Yes, it is Dodge. I think all the 170s were Dodge until 2002 or 2003, whenever it was that Dodge stopped making those vans.

Actually, I think it is quite a bit bigger in the 1999 model - I think they moved it to the back of the van and so were able to increase the size from a 30 pound capacity to a 35 pound capacity.

OK - I will be interested to know to compare it to my 1999. And maybe see if they can provide the Manchester tank number (called a "cat #" on the nameplate). For the 1999 RT 170, it is #6877 and it...
