DODGE ALUMINUM PLENUM GASKET REPAIR PLATE 1992-2003 5.2L,5.9L | eBay

If you're changing the plenum gasket, get rid of the metal plenum plate and buy the aluminum ones from either Hughes or this guy on EBay. I have bought 4-5 from him already for every magnum I've done this repair on. Reusing the thin metal plenum plate rarely works, and is usually the reason the plenum gasket failed in the first place. Other than that, be prepared for the possibility of an intake bolt on one of the 4 corners breaking. I've had that happen multiple times.

If your truck is a '98-'99 then you won't need to worry about the filler neck T for the upper radiator hose, as that "genius" design didn't come in until 2000.
