I have replaced the plenum in my 1999 Oldsmobile 88 twice now!!! I have a 3800 motor in it with 107,000 miles on it. I have talked to many people that have had to replace their plenums also and my mother had to change hers with 40,000 miles on her car! the plenum is made of plastic and is junk!!! gm needs to step up and take care of this problem, I have spent over $1,000 fixing this inferior part! I own 3 gm products and I will never buy another if gm does not take responsibility for this!.
