2001 Dodge Ram 1500
5.2L V8
Vacuum Leak (I assume)
I am not an expert but I am hearing a hissing sound come and go when I start my truck from under my hood.
When the hissing starts, the truck sputters slightly and the rpm's drop slightly
when the hissing stops, the rpm's increase a little (then return to normal)
This process repeats when I start the truck and let it sit.
Any advise on how to find this (assumed) vacuum lead and fix it would be great!
