I just bought my truck last week and I knew when I bought it that it had an exhaust leak, so this weekend I'm going to be replacing the passenger side manifold.

Never done this before, but there is a lot of great info here and I'm going to take my time.

I'm replacing the manifold with a Dorman and stainless studs. I know people have mixed feelings about them, but I am BROKE and need to get this done cheaply for now.

I'm intrigued by headers, but I am really a beginner and don't want to bite off more than I can chew yet. Baby steps!

I'll take some photos and video and provide status as I progress.
