i did the plenum fix last night. i fired the truck up and it cranked and then shot gas EVERYWHERE. shut down the truck and went to bed!! got up this morning and pulled the fuel injector that was leaking out and i had damaged the o ring. i fixed it and the rest of them as well and she runs great! lots more power!

i love this forum!!!!! but yall are costing me a lot of money!! and the wife is pissed!! OH WELL!! life is good!!

 

It's always more fun spending someone else's money........

Congrats!

 

I used to think I was the only one having trouble getting money for my truck.

 

hahaha, same thing happened to me when i did my plenum fix....i ended up pulling all the injectors and replacing all the o-rings.

Congrats on having the plenum done...

and i know what you mean...this forum is the cause of about $3K that ive invested into my truck, but hey, its gunna keep the wheels turning longer.....even though my truck has been parked at work for almost a week now......been taking my tow truck home, since ive been on call 24/7 since last friday....kinda sucks

 

tell me about it, you wouldn't believe the reindeer games I have to play when it's time to get parts for the truck. I will earn some extra cash along the way, hide parts in the garage and then spend all day putting them in under the guise of an "oil change"

 

when I was single put to my truck a $2000 hood (functional ram air-heat extractor) $1500 front grill & bumper (rdx open mouth) & 700 in air bags-compressor, $2500 in sound sistem, $850 exaust, and always was running hp toyos or yokohamas. and in the last monts lifted 3 inches my truck using the same lowering kit (was lowered 2-4) just spent $125 in coilsprings. now I need new shocks and my wife says, hey you spend too much in the truck ups!

 

The o-rings should be changed (and lubed first) any time the fuel injectors get pulled.

As for the wife, tell her that truck parts are cheaper than hookers.
Then give here a big kiss, smile and walk away without saying another word.

 

LMAO!!!! i will try that! might lose a few teeth but hey dentists need a job too!!

 

So what were your main indicators that the plenum was your issue? I know power is part of it, just curious where you were losing power/how it shows itself in your driving?

I ask because I have low power, but mostly low end, but I am not experiencing oil consumption which some people say is one of the main complaints associated with plenum issues.

 

Flip the flies back on your tb and look inside the intake manifold for pooling oil... If its there, its either your pcv or your plum gasket.. most plenum gaskets give up the ghost on these things early... You'll hear every once in a while of one 150k+ miles that have good gaskets, but it isn't common.
