I have the same engine in my 03 Tradition. Had this exact work done in January before heading to Florida. I was complaining in November to my mechanic about no power climbing hills. We all thought we were having fuel filter/injection/injector pump type issues. With bad weather around, I decided to take it back to him for the pre Florida check up. They found the cracked manifold. Was about $400 for the manifold and about six hours of labor to replace it. Power is back, braking is back and it runs awesome once again!!
