Cracked intake?!?!?

My Brothers 2002 Super Duty 5.4 got a cracked intake manifold! What causes this? Its been a plow truck since new, Could this be a result of snow blowing under the hood and melting and freezing or am I way off base, Is it just a problem with the earlier 5.4, or should I be saving some bucks for this repair on my 04?? Its makin me worry?!?!?!

FWIW, this is the first time I've heard of one cracking. That would indicate not very common... Or worth worrying about?

I had mine crack where the aluminum coolent cross over is at on the passanger side. My pickup is a 2001 w/ a 5.4L its a pretty common thing for this area. Dont know where yours broke though.
