Ok,I thought I'd pose this question to you Dak guys: I have a '98 5.9L Durango with only 37k. I've had the truck in several times for a mysterious oil consumption problem. It's burns about 1qt every 1000 miles. No smoke, no obvious leaks, and the intake manifold gasket has been changed twice. I also have changed the PCV valve with no luck. The last gasket change was only 5 weeks ago. My question is: could the gasket be blown again? or is there another reason my D could be burning oil? It seems to run great and there is no performance loss that I can notice. My mods include: Borla cat-back, Fastman TB, K&N intake kit, Autolite plugs, Accel cap and rotor, Accel coil, MSD wires, Mopar PCM, Mopar valve covers. It's out of warranty and I don't want to pay for a complete engine tear-down if something major is wrong. Any ideas????

could be the plenum (sp?) gasket.... I know that blown Plunum gaskets result in many of the symptoms youve described.

I think Russ could be right. I really don't think this will help, but are u running with synthetic oils? If you are, try normal stuff and see how that works. Good luck, hope you find the problem.
