Well, currently I'm running catless. The plenum looks a bit greasy, but nothing pooling. The pcv valve still shakes.

Throttle body spacer does absolutely nothing on these trucks. That's a carb/tbi trick.

If you suddenly get a burst of power at about 3K, chances are good your plenum is blown.

well the fuel filter is inside your fuel tank attached to your actual fuel pump, so to check it your gonna have to drop the tank or take off the bed and pull the pump "I have no idea why dodge decided to put the filter on the pump?"
