I thought I seen a thread on step by step repair for the plenum gasket but cannot locate.
I have a 02 with the 5.9 and have a oil leak that I cannot locate.Based on the the numerous posts i have read it pointed to the plenum gasket needing to be replaced but have seen so much info that I have information overload.
What is the best plan of attack ?
thanks

Here. Ignore everything you've read and start here with a clean slate.

Tech Section has a download of the 2001 factory service manual. Follow the procedure there but with hughes aluminum plate or ebay plate. Either way get FelPro gaskets. New intake bolts, don't reuse

I would do this as well while you're in there. Smiles per gallon will increase but miles might decrease unless you keep your foot out of it. :)

^^ not a mod I would bother with but to each his own. More like do the timing chain, waterpump, bypass hose all the extras in that sticky.

The set both gears and the chain.
