Morning all,

I have a 2001 Dodge Ram 1500 5.9, 4x4 with 120K miles on it. Can seem to find a possible oil leak that is happening. I have placed cardboard on the ground nothing. Filter tighten correctly, no drainplug leaks.

So I loose about 3 qts, and not all the time and only when seems like when oil is due to be changed. Not pulling a load or putting any excessive driving, since I drive 180 miles round trip a day.

Any ideas?

Thanks for your help

Lew

 

Check out the stickied Plenum thread at the top of this forum. Chances are, that is where most of it is going.

Welcome to DF.

 

Thank you, will look

 

hey there
are you from DF maxico city.
I have a problem with my 04 jeep liberty the check engine light is on and appear the code ambient air temperature sensor maltfunctions should i repaced the sensor ?
Somebody have any Ideas

 

Since you scanned and that's what it says and the sensor is only 25 bucks why wouldn't you get it install it check it and then if it doesnt fix it return the part? You dont need us to tell you that. Start with cheap fixes if its not that then go into more complicated. And since you have a 04 JEEP Liberty I think jeepforum in the 04 liberty section would be more fitting heres the link

I ordered the kit to fix the plenum from hugesengines.com instal went great but the truck won't start after I put it all back together any ides?

 

Check all the ground connections, checked for pinched wires around where the intake bolts to the motor and check for missed connections.

What all did you replace?

 

My oil consumption was fixed by changing valve seals,plenum gasket & PCV valve ;-) Now since July I have not used a drop of oil. I was doing a quart every 100 miles by the way lol Problem fixed!

 

Was yours leaving any evidence of leaks where you parked?

@OP, seems the crank/cam sensor wires like to crawl under the intake when you are bolting it down. I know it's a pain, but, look carefully along the back of the intake for pinched wires, and make sure you hooked up the grounds up by the power steering pump as well.

 

Wow, this thread has it all....even a Jeep....
