Well thats definitely the exact sound I’m hearing. If the issue persists after the plenum is fixed, then I’ll pursue your method. I’m leaning towards vacuum leak through plenum because it doesn’t do it only on start up, it does it under acceleration occasionally as well.
Just curious, have you had to replace the plenum gasket on your Ram? After spending some time on the Dodge forum, it’s become apparent to me that nearly every Magnum engine vehicle has this problem at some point in its life, and for one to go over 200,000 miles without it blowing as mine has is exceedingly rare.

Yeah the plenum gasket is definitely bad, it’s a pattern failure on the 93-01 generation of Rams. It pings, consumes oil, hesitates, and is now misfiring on all 8 under certain conditions. The only symptom I don’t have is a significant mpg loss, but everything else checks out. I bought a Hughes plenum repair kit which includes a new plate, gasket, manifold gaskets and all the bolts needed, I just don’t feel confident tearing it apart myself.

There’s a thought… at this point, the only issue with this truck confirmed to not be from the plenum is the clicking sound the rear end is making. I don’t think the cause of that was ever confirmed, but I was never able to pull the diff cover and find out if there were any issues in there.

I’ll need to drain the coolant when I install my new plenum plate, so I’ll find out if that’s the problem at that time. Still not sure when I’ll be doing that though, given the amount of time it’ll take.

Well the heater works great and the engine doesn’t run even a little bit hot. When the engine gets up to operating temp, it very rarely makes the sound.

Well this isn’t my thread… That information was fully disclosed in my thread, and I even had a separate thread about the misfires which is where the blown plenum was diagnosed.

I’ll let you know if the shaking goes away once my misfires are fixed. This transmission isn’t getting fixed, its simply not affordable, so if that clutch is worn then we’ll be dealing with it as we have for a few months.

252,000 on engine, I believe this transmission has roughly 180,000 on it.
