It doesn't work, I used to tell people to do the TSB vac check also.http://dodgeram.info/tsb/2000/09-05-00.htm Until one day I looked down the intake with the TB off, and it was clearly blown.

How many miles you got on it? I am in the middle of swapping my plate to my new truck. When I removed from the old truck, there was quite a good size puddle of clean oil with no carbon. So it could just be old age blow by.

The motor itself has around 105K miles. It was pulled from a 3/4 ton and I tore it down to a short block, cleaned it up and put it back together. The plenum plate has only been on the truck for 3K miles.

So was mine on there for around the same amount of miles. Hughes plate with felpro gasket.(can't find anything wrong with gasket) I was surprised to see that much oil. My old truck had 158K on it.

Yea, it would be awesome if they worked on our motors. Too bad they have no injector ports.

Do any aftermarket intakes other than the M-1 and hughes airgap have the injector bosses cast in them?

Edit: I just looked up the professional products intake manifold and it says that is has nitrous bosses which may work for the injector bosses. It also says that it the intake works for LA and magnum motors. I understand you could drill them for both intake patterns but I thought the magnums and LAs had different intake surface angles.

Edit Agian: After seeing some bigger pics of the intake the nitrous bosses are to small for injectors.
