ya ya ya..... i bought both valve cover gaskets today. i did one, the passenger side, and it seemed to idle a little bit better, found a boost leak, corrected that and it had way more power in the upper rpm's as it pulls like a raped ape from 2500-3k. i'm gonna let her cool down and after supper maybe change out the driver side for S&G's.... i did notice a new injector on the passenger side.
oh ya i freikin hate working on a 4x4 now since i am so use to my lowered 2wd dodge......
