Alright, So i guess i know what im going to be busy on. lol. I Will update as i go. thanks for the help so far everyone!

 

Since you don't even know what or where the PCV is. I highly suggest you download the free factory service manual (from the FAQ/DIY section) and get a Haynes. Read them. Then decide if you have the correct tools and know how, to perform any procedure on your your truck, and any other vehicle in your stable for that matter.

 

Yeah, I've Downloaded the manual. So, it probably wont be my plenum? might be the PCV valve? it doesnt look like it's pooling, but theres abit of oil down there.

 

its possible.. One way to check is replace the pvc then clean out the intake by pouring seafoam directly down the intake while the engine is running VERY SLOWLY and dont stall the engine...this will help clean the oil out of the intake... then drive it a while and recheck it for new oil....
or you could tear into and just replace it if you have the time ...gaskets arent too much...you can go with an aftermarket aluminum plate or use washers on the factory bolts when reusing the factory plate and bolts since there are reports that the bolts often bottomed out in the holes before sandwiching the plate and gasket fully together and this causes to gasket to blow out and leak...
If your burning oil its a good idea to check compression...if thats good you likely have a bad plenum gasket...

 

How much seafoam? Just enough till the oil disapears?
And got the new distributor cap on today, i guess ill pick up some seafoam & PCV valve and try that.
Also, how would i go about checking compression?

 

Changing PCV is a good idea. and may be due. Use one from dealer only. Works best.

But I'd bet $10 that plenum is blown......but that's just me. The odds are against plenum NOT being blown.

 

Well, i'll try the PCV and seafoam test, if i get oil back in there, i Will replace the Plenum. (Dont wana tare it apart just yet)

 

Also, dont i need a torque wrench for the half keg if i take it off?

 

seeing how he just bought the truck and it has soo many miles ..I'm gonna bet against you and say there just as good a chance its fine... the 50/50 results in the plenum pic thread of people whoe tore into theirs only to find it was in fact not blown and still have oil pooling up even after replacing it is where I draw my conclusion.. plus a PO may already have changed it..

 

Well i got it from my dad, and he bought it from a guy a few years ago. Ran fine ever since he parked it awhile ago. (parked it because of the shaking) but after drove it a month or two ago, it had all these problems. So he might have changed it. But i will cycle some seafoam through it and see what happends. im debaiting wether to rebuild the front end. (Since the front shakes, i figure it's something up there) But i cant rule out the engine on the shaking, because when it shakes, the RPM Drops. So im stumped.
