do not get just the gasket. it will bow again and you will ahve the same problem
the prblem is the plate is steel, the intake is aluminum, the expand at different rates. also the bolts for the plate cause a problem, not sure if its to long or to short. do some searching probably 1000 posts on it. anyway order a new plenum plate, comes with new bolts, gaskets and instructions from hughes.

this is the kit you want http://www.hughesengines.com/Index/p...p?partid=22220

there is another place, but their name is not coming to me right now.

and here is the DIY

ANd the necessary hardware kit:

you need those bolts because the intake bolts are torque to yeild (Means that they can never be used again when taken out or you will strip the intake).

Oh yeah, it is will downshift on every hill on the highway. Actually, the manual states to TAKE THE TRUCK OUT OF OVERDRIVE when going up a hill.

If you plan on keeping the Truck for a while go ahead and get a Hughes Plate.

13-15 is average for a 4x4 when the truck is in good condition.

What size are your tires?
