Plenum fix...

As noted by all the above. Plenum and might as well tear it all the way down to the timing chain and replace up from there (water pump, all gaskets, plugs, wires, caps, PCV). I also did oil pump and pick up tube with new gasket there as well. Probably want to pick up some 02 sensors as well.

All that is only a few hundred bucks in parts and then you have a good baseline of maintenance for the future.

For muffler my recommendation is Thursh Turbo. Cheap and sounds great.

 

Updated mopar or felpro gasket and shave the pan/keg bolts 1/8". Skip the aluminum pan the pan isn't the problem. Save your money

 

The plenum was no problem oil use is great, bit now I have the o2 sensor and a tcc ,or the speed control that's givenme isue, other than that just slightly more to do cosmetic and it perfect for me

Wow that 79 year old man beat the carp out of the truck

 

The plenum gasket being blown is what was causing the oil to leak into the intake manifold. That's what they are referring to. It's the lower intake manifold gasket and a very common problem on these trucks.

 

Thats what I thought but Ijust nver heard it called that way before, al that's seems an issue is the tcc solenoid, or the oxygen sensors, ...can't tell it may be on the sensor only because the cat is gutted clean, but I think it may be the transmission, I'll let it idle until normal oper. Temp and she will.lurch forward when the Chek light comes on

 

Yup but still can't beat the way she runs though, straight and true
