I've got a 2003 SE L36, with 223,500 miles & I'm looking to do a LIM/UIM gasket replacement as preventive maintenance & I was wondering if anyone would mind taking the time to confirm some part numbers.
Plenum-doorman 615180
UIM-doorman 615207
LIM-doorman 615717 w/elbows
Will also replace EGR valve (SE code), plugs (delco),wires (belden)
If anyone has recommendations if appreciate it & thanks in advance.

Re: UIM/LIM gasket replacement parts
It looks like those are the plastic gaskets for the lower. You want the aluminum ones, which will most likely never fail again like the plastic ones. I got my UIM/LIM kit from ineedparts,
Upper intake:

Lower gasket set:
http://www.ineedparts.com/96-08-lower-i ... yplus.html
And then the dorman HELP aluminum elbows will also be available at your local parts store. Those should never fail on you again.
The upper I listed has a sleeved bushing in it near the EGR passage, as well as a reduced diameter stove pipe to prevent the manifold from failing in that area. That's why I recommend that one over the stock "improved" replacement from dorman, but others have had good luck with the standard replacement manifold as well.
