Decided the truck is going to be parked for a couple weeks pending the purchase and install of a new plenum. Old girl burns too much of my money to support driving it till I get the plenum parts.

It didn't give reason to think it needed to be changed until after, but you are right. Anyone planning on doing a plenum fix anytime soon go to the dealer and order a PCV valve and hose, like $13 all together.

I have the opposite problem. Got the Hughes plate in the mail today but the rest of what I am waiting for to do at the same time is still in shipping and doing part of the job is not an option for my DD. Then again I still swear my original plenum gasket is still holding pretty tough so I am not in that bad a hurry to get around to it.

Pulled rear brakes off to replace and decided to replace wheel cylinders also. So cleaned up around hub and left for tomorrow. Did a little sanding on filler on welds on fender from last night.

Only problem now will be bleeding brakes before I can roll it out to wash to get ready to paint...can't have wifehelp as she is out of town for weekend......so since I am a standstill for tonight, it is Mavericks game turned up loud, and COLD beer! (Dallas up 92-69 over Milwaukee!)

Put the rear up on jack stands, pulled the wheels, pulled the drums (sounds easy, but they were stuck tight). No pads left on either side...
