Default How long does it take you to change a plenum?

I am getting ready to attempt this repair on my own this weekend. My Dad has done it before on another Dakota, but I will be working alone for the most part, with help here and there. How long did it take you to complete this repair for those of you that have done it?

if you know what you are doing it should not take you too long, pretty painless job. go ahead and clean the **** out of everything while you got it out. it could be done in one day with no problem. if you are a bad *** like me it will just take an hour or too.

You finish that job in an hour or two? Nice.

I ask because my Dad spent days on it on another Dakota. But that was with all the breaks, forgetting parts, not working...etc. I plan on starting early this Saturday and wanted to finish it ASAP.

While i am in there I might look at the injectors. I had thought about replacing them with higher performance ones but I am debating. I Might just leave them in and run some seafoam through the system when I am done.
