Default Years for bad LIM gaskets

Hi all,

So I have a friend shopping around for a SUV and since I own a Blazer I find myself wanting to be able to advise her. I feel have a good grasp on the issues our trucks can have but one I realized I did not was the years for which our trucks came with the questionable lower intake manifold (LIM) gaskets? I know it spanned my year (1999) but I could not remember the other years.

Is anyone confident in their knowledge of which years of the Blazers had these questionable LIM gaskets? What years were these?

Thanks

My 99, and maybe 2000, gotta look into the parents truck a little more.

But I think it's more mileage, short trip vehicles maybe not as much as highway miles, if you get what I mean... just the longer the engine is hot, and more often, I think they would be more prone to short running engines, and short trips.
