So my 98 ram 1500 with 5.2L is having an oil issue. less than 1000 miles on mobil 1 oil change about 3 weeks ago, and it is black and smells burnt.
I did some research and read about a plenum gasket but i do not have any of the other symptoms. such as loss of power and bad oil consumption, nor flashing check engine light.
Truck runs fine, has great oil pressure, only issue is it runs cool since i moved from so cal to washington state. but i have a 180 thermostat in and need to put a 195 in.
I am thinking i need to drop the pan and clean it out maybee?
advice please? any of you service techs seen this one?
