Stop in for a cup of coffee

I need to finish a spark plug change on the Magnum today. Had to pull the intake plenum to get to them. Needed a few things to finish and didn't have another vehicle to run for parts till later in evening. Anybody familiar with this... Had foam under plastic plenum. It was half goo and half dust. I cleaned it all off, but wondmering how important it is, cause have nothing good to replace it with. Read some other forums- some say its for heat, other say sound.


Back together, runs, no codes. :blob:

Didn't put any foam in. Had it almost together and realized the pcv valve was still out. Worked out though, there is a little flange on bottom of egr tube I could not get to to tighten with the plenum on. Got that second time off. Had a heck of a time puting a new air filter in. The rubber edge got in the way of the cover. Took a lot of persuasion to get it closed.
