gotta watch out with the brush guards. i checked one out for my sisters truck and it was listed as coming off a dodge truck and it looked just like mine. when i got there i quickly realized that it wasn't as wide and then i made the assumption that it came off a dakota.

if you have any oil in there then your gasket is leaking.
after removing my valve covers i noticed that there is a metal shield that blocks the oil from the pcv valve so i doubt any oil can get through it.
i don't have any knock and never have but when i looked in the intake i saw a puddle. and since going back to the 32.8" tires my mileage has taken a dive from 13 to 10. when i had that size on the truck when i first got it i was getting 14mpg.
then again, my truck does run kinda cold, that could explain the lack of spark knock.

no spark knock, or i just cant hear it over the exhaust and 14x3

I seem to get 14MPG city/hwy. 19MPG straight highway @ 70MPH. At least I was back in July. I calculated it with miles driven/gals of gas from a full tank.
I have to keep an eye on that and get it right because my gas gauge doesn't work.
I calculate my miles to go based on 14MPG and had two gallons left on my last fill up.

I know he is going to keep some years but not sure which ones. Will let you know, are you wanting just the truck ones or all for those years?
