couple of issues, which one first?
I've known that my truck needs the plenum kit from hughes for a while. its been useing about a quart every 3000 mi. and i can see oil when looking down the intake holes. I was waiting till warm weather to fix this and well now my procrastination has caused what i believe to be a clogged cat/ bad O2 sensor. It now idles like it missing and runs rough with no power and bad gas mileage. Obviously both need to be fixed, but my budget will only allow me one per week. so do i fix the plenum then the cat. or....cat then the plenum the next week? Its running like sh** now, but was manageable when the cat was good. so im leaning towards doing the cat first then waiting a week or two to do the plenum. thoughts???

ok i know my truck plus my bros truck had the same problem...my opinion cut the cat out clamp in a pipe for a week ($30) MAX then change the plenum. Cause u figure you do the cat first you got a new cat ALOT more money than a new plenum. and all you do is drive your truck for 2 weeks you fill your cat back up with nasty burned oil. so think on it thats just my Opinion

Well ive been out messing around the last couple hours and also determined that the wires and plugs, and cap and rotor could use some replacing. When I pulled the wires off the plug there was corrosion in there similar to battery term. corrosion. The plugs themselves looked good (nice color and not worn looking). Also when I pulled the front o2 sensor and started it, it ran the same. Does this mean its bad? is it pretty straight forward as far as changing the cap,rotor on these besides the tight space?
