Just got done the plenum fix using the Hughes kit. While everything was apart did new upper, lower, and bypass radiator hoses, new temp sender (broken in removal process), a whole bunch of vacuum lines, and a new 180 degree thermostat.

I must say the truck idles smoother, doesn't produce a sucking noise on startup anymore, runs about 15 degrees cooler and runs overall much better. The amount of crap in that intake was unbelievable, went through about 5 cans of Gum Cutter to get it all out. Thanks for all the guys on here, would have been a bitch without knowing what to look for.

 

i might finish mine tomorrow... i had so much crud in the intake it wasn't even funny...

 

Dammit you guys take some friggin pic's would ya!

 

I didn't take any because there is plentttttttyyyyyy of plenum repair pics already posted on this site as it is. The search feature is your friend.
