when i start my truck up. it will run normal for about 2 minutes. then you will hear massive amount of air blowing through the air intake and coming out of the throttle body. this bogs the motor down then i have to give it gas for a bit then its fine. when your driving on the road you can hear a hissing sound coming from the throttle body. i have never encountered this before

Ramjackson, Yes. I changed the plentium gasket, the valve cover gaskets, and both 02 sensors. The issue is gone now.
