He also had to replace the same gaskets on a buick le sabre he used to own. In manufacturing there is no isolated incedence... If one fails, they all fail. In my opinion that gasket should not fail. My father is still loyal to GM... I don't know why... Maybe its because his 1999 blazer has brought us closer together? I repair something on it practicly every weekend...
So the GM 4.3 V6 had intake gasket problems? I'm touching wood here but 
my 97 Blazer at 140,000 km has never had engine problems of any kind. 
Just lucky? Cold climate? I don't know.
