Message:
How can a guy check for an intake gasket leak? I've read about the symptoms, using oil and pinging. Mine doesn't use any oil, but it pings a lot unless I run 92 in it all the time.
TIA,
Chad

Take off the airhat so that the throttlebody is exposed. Use the throttle linkage to open the butterflies all the way (I'm assuming you don't have a 4.7L) and look down into the intake manifold. you should be able to see the bottom with a flashlite. If there is a lot of nasty oily shmoo all over it, you're leaking. If it's kind of dry and sooty, you're fine.

Yeah, I have the 5.2L. Thanks a ton. I've been getting concerned about this, it sound like a pretty common problem.
Thanks again.

If you want to try and fix it yourself, you can go to www.fast4x4.net and look under the HowTo's section. Jon is really good with the 5.2 motors. He's really got a good site.
