it's not that they had bad it intake gaskets. it is the plenum gasket on the bottom of the intake that start leaking allowing oil to be sucked into the engine on magnum engines.

 

Found a better solution sold the truck last night for $2600, should be worth around $3500 but its out of my yard now, with gas prices shooting through the roof thinks it may be time for a Toyota

 

So the new owner called me last night said he simply looked in the throttle body and found oil inthe intake, replaced the manifold and plenum gaskets and the truck no longer has any issues.

 

Ouch! Did you ever check the plenum before you sold it? I have a feeling that if this thread was in the 2nd gen section, the first response would have been plenum. LOTS of 2nd gens need plenums, and lots of the recent threads in that section go: "hey, my truck sucks!" - "hey, change your plenum!" - "hey, my truck is all better!". In fact, we just had my dad's replaced with the hughe's kit last week.

I'm sorry about your loss

 

The new buyer just called me this AM, problem NOT solved, seemed fine last night after he spent the entire day redoing the plenum and intake gasket, said went for a drive today and it did the same thing, I am thinking computer at this point

 

I've gone through this issue enough times to know it right away when it happens. Truck runs great when cold, and ****s the bed when it's warm.

The fuel pump is shot. Once they get to that point, they'll work okay until the pump heats up somwhat from running and then you're done. Garanteed that's the problem.

 

ol'shaky; You might want to reread the explanation of the problem. I would point out that the info we were given was that after the truck was totally warmed up the problem goes away. That isn't what you are describing with a fuel pump failure problem.
