Ya I will, when I backed the truck out of the garage I found one of those springs on the floor so I have to put that back on. Those sure were fun to get off! lol

Actually it uses next to no oil as far as I know and I have a hypertech E-con (waist of money) and it helps maby 1 or 2 mpg's. But the computer says I get about 13mpg. Which is normal as far as I know. I do have a question about the plenum though, if its bad does that mean that coolant would be draining into the oil somehow?

The overhead is not accurate as far as MPG's go. And no. the plenum(lower intake gasket ) being blown has nothing to do with coolant. Why do you ask?

aahh, ok, Im just trying to figure out if the plenum needs replaced and I was thinking that make it drain into the oil. There isnt any coolant in the oil though. Im gonna park my truck for the winter so Ill deal with plenum next year lol
