Intake manifold questions.
Heyo, I have a 99 f250 superduty 2wd longbed with the triton 5.4l. The truck was throwing the common codes associated with the intake and sure enough I foind leaks. My question is I can buy a new aluminum lower intake for about $150 or I can buy a used plastic one for about $65. My lower intake is shot and its the plastic one. Is it worth it to just upgrade to the aluminum? I guess I should mention the truck has about 217k on the clock and quite rusty. I am on a limited budget so was hoping that the cheaper one would suffice but I dont want it to wear out prematurely. Also any tips for removing the egr tube? Thanks!

Can I ask how you narrowed it down the the intake?
My truck just started throwing the same codes & I going to replace a couple seals on my older K&N intake first before I dig further.
Also, where did you find an aluminum one for 150$? I found this one for 150 thats plastic. Its actually slightly modified from stock for a little better airflow to from what I understand.
