Plenum gasket change hughes, how hard is this too do?
Hello all, everyone here has probably done the plenum changeout I'm sure im going to go with hughes and put the 1/4" aluminum in place of the steel going to do o2 sensor and T-stat aswell, my question is for someone who has never opened up the intake how hard is this really to do? I am mechanically inclined but a little nervous because I have never had to do something like this before, I'm planning on getting a bunch of sea foam and cleaning everything out, I have a 01 2500 5.9l magnum 4x4 it has 90k miles and I'm sure its loaded with crap I have looked around on the forum but couldnt find pictures or walkthroughs for anybody who has done this before tell me how it went and it will be greatly appreciated thanks guys
Once you get about halfway through it, you will realize that it isn't hard at all.
no more than changing a water pump or drum brakes. Although it does take just a little more time.
don't worry dude. i'm in the same boat as you.... im not mechanically inclined at all..... but i did it myself and had some problems here and there but it really isn't hard.... once you get halfway there you're pretty much set.... you from texas?
Thanks for the encouraging words, I looked around a bit and found that hughes has bad customer service and parts come defective should I go with asp instead?
