So do I need gaskets?

Howdy SVTP. It's been a long while since I've posted, but I've just been that busy and content with the truck!

Well I have a 99 and doing an entire top swap for an 01+ blower. Midplate and all.

So which of the gaskets are reuseable, or will I need an entire new set of intake gaskets?

So I'm cheap.

Thanks!

You will probably need the whole set. After 12 years of sitting there compressed and getting heat cycled I doubt they'll be reusable.

You can reused as long as they haven't been over torqued and "squished" too much, usually want to replace them after 2-3 times of having them off the truck.....I have had them off the truck 3 times now and have just copper coated them and double check the torque when i reinstall my blower.

May I ask why are you updating the intake and blower on your 99 to an 01?

Thanks, Dead Short. I'll price it up here soon.

Soccman, love the rims. But I'm upgrading because apparently my supercharger is going to take a dump. It's knocking VERY badly and there was an ad on here for a 01+ Steg Stage 5 blower, midplate, and intercooler. So I jumped on not only a fix, but an upgrade.
