+1 on what zman said
(...as I am thinking it has been stated more than once here.....) The plenum issue robs power, clogs cats, and can lead or contribute to cracked heads. other than that, not a huge issue.
i checked the tps with the volt meter and the iac do u just make sure it dosnt have any carbo on it ? and ill look at the tb tomorrow i dont got my truck with me but if it was sucking oil wouldnt it be blowing blue smoke and wouldnt i be loosing oil

With 38's though, 4.88 or 5.13 gears...... (4.88 is as good as it gets on the 9.25 chrysler axle.)
