I took it to FORD and the they fixed it under a recall. No charge. They even paid for the tow truck. Made me happy. I hope the new one does not do the same thing.

Ditto.
My first question, 98SteedaGT when reading this post is why you are not getting this fixed for free? Or was the recall on these only for the 96-97GTs?
I am planning on doing the headswap, so the intake will be changing at some point in the near future, but I had Ford replace my cracked one under recall anyway. I did that for two reasons. First, I felt that Ford SHOULD take the cost/labor bite for replacing the POS design of the stock intake. Second, I could take my time and find deals on parts I will need for the headswap, and not have to make rash decisions that will end up costing me more than I should have to pay. (Or have to have my car out for weeks, as the parts I really want are on backorder...)
Just my input. I wish you best of luck
