I have a 2001 dodge ram 1500 with the off road package. No upgrades other than 285/70r17 tires. I have changed the spark plugs and wires hoping it would help a little. yet there was little to no difference. Its not showing any codes. What could it be?? Oh and i'm new to Dodge Forum!!

That also has crossed my mind. But when I bought the truck 2 years ago I was told it was replaced. He had receipts and everything. But I think he just did the stock gasket. Not the Hughes performance replacement. How should I go about checking this. My mpgs are low too. Oh and thanks for the warm welcome 😳

Yeah, just because it was replaced 2 years ago doesn't mean much. If it's blown, it's blown.
You need to pull off the throttle body, get a dentists mirror or whatever, and shine a light down in there, look for oil pooling in all four corners.
Your mpgs will either be high, or in the toilet with a blown plenum. Mine were in the toilet was I was going through .5 qt per 100mi. You will also have pinging issues.
Look for the Be All End All Plenum thread at the top of this forum. That should answer most of your questions.
