Intake manifold

I just put my car in the shop for something else and now they're telling me my intake manifold needs to be replaced.the manifold and gaskets do you have to replace both? I have an expedition 5.4 L 2004
The dealer saying you have to replace the manifold and you can not just replace gaskets

Most people with some common sense wouldn't

The plastic manifolds are more susceptible to warping and cracking which is the reason they are saying it has to be replaced.
