Haha!!! I think everything is fine. I've checked it over and it runs fine. I hope this will increase my mpg's now. My plenum gasket was shot in two places. I burnt 3.5 quarts of oil in the last 1,000 miles

If the gasket was blown that bad, don't forget the damage to the cat and 02 sensor. If you have not taken care of that portion already.

Found out what that little plug was...my dad was helping me lift the intake out of the motor and he found that somewhere laying and thought it was a vacuum plug for my truck. Haha

And I'm getting a magnaflow high flow cat because I figure my cat is pretty clogged. Took my truck for a spin down the road and you can feel the power increase
