Exhaust leak

I've got an exhaust leak on the passenger's side manifold up next to the head. Do you guys know if these trucks use a gasket?

They don't use a gasket from the factory, but gaskets are available in case you have to remove the manifold. Leaks at the manifold are kind of rare unless you've got some broken bolts. Any broken bolts?

I'd remove it, resuface and install before I put a gasket in. There have been some problems with gaskets. Thats the way ford made it so I just think its better. My 2 cents. Chet
