SCT.
Figure out what that noise coming from the front end is.
Fix the passenger window roller.
Balance the tires.
Relocate the rear shock mounts.
Get a longer track bar and control arms.
New windshield when that crack shoots over in front of the driver seat.
Figure out why my amp goes into protect mode all the time.

When it warms up try and figure out how to install a 6 speed into my ram from a viper. Drive my motorcycle to save huge chucks of change for more mods. Get some spintech mufflers.

Hughes Plenum fix
Wires and Plugs
Cap and Rotor
Pre-Cat o2 Sensor
PCV Valve

And just maybe eventually see if the noise I'm hearing is coming from the transfer case or the rear diff. It's hard to tell because my tires are cupped.

The intake manifold has a plate bolted to the bottom of it that separates the inside of it where air is supposed to go from the lifter valley where the oil is.

The bolts that hold that plate on are too long from the factory so they bottom out in the intake manifold, meaning that the gasket between the intake manifold and the plate isn't sufficiently squished and oil seeps into the intake from the lifter valley.

The hughes fix is an aluminum plate that is 4x thicker than the original plate and when installed you won't have to worry about the gasket leaking any more.

When you have oil leaking into the intake manifold it leads to spark knock, fouled spark plugs, fouled catalytic converter, fouled upstream o2 sensor, loss in power and increased oil consumption.

One sentence wouldn't have explained it very well.
