One thing to do (a little late now) is those 2 rubber plugs in the intake valley cover both the knock sensors, water gets in there and messes up the connectors and eventually you'll get knock sensor codes. Before re-assembly I like to clean those off and run a nice bead of rtv around the boots to further water proof them. I have to do mine here soon, 2002 Tahoe with 5.3. Just a heads up for next time. Nice vids.

Thanks nikogto...I did look at them just my cam messed up on recording. The wiring harness was dry so i oiled the wires up before i pulled the boots off. The knock sensor were dry as a bone and looked new so i went with the old saying if it aint broke dont fix it...yea if you replace the knock sensors just buy a new harness as well. but without filming it I could pull that intake in 20 minutes so not that big of a deal Thanks for watching nik

Very nice job Rick and you sure do take that extra time to make sure everything is clean. One thing I found out over the years is that plenums made of plastic will do a lot of expanding and contracting. And of course, that will have a tendency for the bolts to loosen over time. As you know these bolts with a torque as little as 89 inch-lbs will gradually loosen and then comes oil and vacuum leaks. I always put a little blue thread locker on the bolts which seems to keep them in place. Once again Rick, nice work!

Great job on the video and thanks for sharing it! After watching it I replaced the gaskets on my 02 sierra 5.3L. My truck has been running rough in the cold weather, before it really gets warmed up under the hood, coupled with random P0171, P0174, and P0300 codes. After a few other new parts and diagnosis, and lots and lots of research, i figured it was time to do the IM gaskets. Great idea with the fuel hose to keep the bolts out of the way. I watched one other video and they were just hanging there on the way in and way out and made it look like a huge PITA. Just before i grabbed some old fuel line i realized there is a rubber bushing (grey color) on the bolts and I slid it down the bolt shaft to the bottom and that kept the bolts up out of the way just as well. Thought i would mention it to save the time of cutting up fuel line for somebody else perhaps. Anyway I hope this fixes my issue and thanks again!

Rick thank you for the helpful video, I really appreciate it. I'm wondering by replacing the intake manifold gaskets, the issue I'm having with vibrating fuel lines would stop. I recently installed a new fuel pump, fuel pressure reg, fuel filter, fuel pressure reg hose and fuel rails (all GM parts except fuel filter). After installing them I started to hear a vibration or buzzing noise coming from the fuel rails to all the way down to fuel tank. I hooked up a fuel pressure tool to test the fuel pressure and needle cannot stay solid. It bounces between 57-61 PSI +/-. I'm out of ideas to resolve this issue. I replaced the fuel pressure reg and fuel pump twice thinking they were defective but I'm confident now those weren’t the issue. Any ideas or suggestions from you or anyone else I would appreciate it. Thank you.

Try taking the vacuum hose off of the fuel pressure regulator while its running and making the vibration/buzzing noise. I had a vibration/buzzing noise from the fuel rails all the way back to the fuel tank after changing out my fuel pressure regulator. As soon as I pulled the vacuum line of the fuel pressure regulator the vibration/buzzing noise went away instantly. You have to be careful when installing a fuel pressure regulator to not smash the little filter in there.

I got fel pro gaskets and I got the passenger side to flush. The driver side on the 5 and 7 is still showing about an inch of the blue on the gasket. Any ideas to help me to seat it better or to resolve the issue

@BigGixx23 Nice. I want to clean mines really well but don't want to mess anything up. I'm gonna look for B12 online. Did you use a razor also to get all the gunk off or just a rag?
