Rather than go by guess and by golly, try running the vacuum test from the TSB. And check your PCV valve while you're at it, and replace it if necessary. You can do the test in less than half an hour, and if all you've got is a bad PCV valve you'll be in and out in two minutes and for less than five bucks.

Contrary to popular belief, it is not guaranteed that every plenum gasket in every 2nd gen Ram is going to fail. The failure rate is relatively high, but it is not universal.
