These housings are notorious for cracking due to over-torquing during assembly or overheating.
Mine was cracked as well. It was a hairline fracture.
I'd set you up with some parts, but I only have an Intake housing that's good. The rest of my parts are trashed.
Good luck with this, glad you found your issue!
The truck is gonna run like a champ now!
Best part about the damage being exhaust side is that it goes out the tail pipe, not into the cylinders.

Yup, i figure it may get a little better fuel millage once its fixed and it should have a good bit more power, im also wondering if that may of had something to do with it having a small bit of white smoke when first fired up....
