That's normal. its like when you breath outside and you see your hot breath in the cold air. Same principle with the truck, hot exhaust gases and cold air.

 

truck only runs rough once im low on oil i keep refilling it to keep her going strong, lets just say worse comes to worse would it be better to just rebuild the engine block or just fix the 3 problems have mentioned it could be,

 

Considered finding a wrecked dodge at the salvage yard with however many miles? You can get a 360 around here with around 80,000 miles for about 6-700 bucks...

 

Well were not sure what the exact problem is yet. Depends on how much money ur willing to put in the truck. Can fix those 3 problems then have another and the truck ends up nickel and diming you. Right now I'm sure buying oil like you are just to keep it going is getting expensive.

 

I had the same problem........check your back two spark plugs.....If they are oily, check the others......If this is the case it is probably the plenum gasket leaking. it is a pan that is poorly designed under the intake manifold. I thought it sounded terrible to do..... really wasn't that bad, just took me about 5 hours to do.....I take my time and clean things and try to do it right.....I found the post on here, about 1-1/2 years ago.the gasket for this and the intake cost about $25 they also make an upgrade kit for about $100....I went the cheap way....depends wether you are keeping the truck or not. My local dealer wanted $750 to do it.....it is simple. you should get new intake bolts also.....so another $10? check those plugs though.....talk to some people on here.... get more opinions.... fixed mine though!
