Holy Smoke. Would hate to have to make any tight corners with that..... and taking it off-road is just out of the question.

 

Fixed.

 

Was reminded the joys of driving a stick shift, second time ever and only stalled twice I think I did pretty good, still need to fix the timing on the spare truck

 

I was looking at another forum and decided to look at a sticky about common chevy problems, look at the fifth one down on the first post, I guess the plenum gasket issue isn't 2nd gen Ram specific after all.

Haha nice find Sheriff! I bookmarked it cause it's good to know what else I can expect on the wife's truck

I know all the 3X00 (the 3100, not the older 3.1) GM motors were known for a bad intake gasket design which caused a coolant leak under the TB... I changed them on our old 97 Lumina, had to go tear it right down to pullin the pushrods to change....

 

It's not a plenum gasket they have a problem with since the 90's trucks dont have a plate they are a single construction like the airgap, and they seem to blow out the intake gaskets at the back corners
