Dealer Repair Cost Plenum Gasket
I was thinking of replacing my plenum gasket myself, but my health is not the best so was just wondering if anyone knows what the dealer might charge to replace the gasket? I can do the plugs, wires, distributor cap, rotor, etc., but looks like too much for me to handle to do the gasket and even the cat replacement. Sorry my truck is a 99 Dodge Ram 1500 Sport w/5.9L MAG engine.

8 to 10 hours labor, at whatever the dealer is charging these days. (which around here, is north of 100 bucks an hour....) Plus parts..... you will have to provide the plenum plate, if they will even put it on..... else, they will just change the gasket, leaving you with the same problem in a couple years.

to bad ur not closer man, i can do the whole thing in 2 hrs. i have pulled it all like 2-3 times on 2 different trucks so a total of like 5-6 times. the biggest shortcut is to just leave everything bolted to the accesory brakcet and take the bracket off with everything on it, and just set it off to the side. remember to unhook the wires to everything though :P then i leave the fuel rail attached to the injectors and just pull them up all together, when u put them back though make sure to put some vasoline jelly or something on the o-rings so u dont tear them going back in. remove the throttle linkage and set it aside, then just unbolt the intake with the throttle body and all attached. make sure you have a new water bypass hose though cuz u prob wont get the original off, just cut it and then take the intake off. then reverse ur steps
