Anyone know if I GM could tell me if the intake gasket has been changed, if I gave them the vin #. Since it looks like all repairs have been done at a GM dealer?
Autozone should have no problem clearing your code. If they give you a problem,(I have encountered some employees who won't clear the code until a repair has been done ,) just tell them you replaced the cap already, and if you have the receipt just show them. A GM dealer should be able to tell you if the intake gasket was replaced on your van by the VIN #. Again, I have encountered some dealers who give excuses to not look it up for you. I just take my business elsewhere. That is , if the repair was done at a GM dealership. If not, there might be other avenues to find out if the intake was replaced. One way is to find out if you can get the previous owner's name and address through the state DMV office and contact the former owner.
