driving it

I've driven the truck a few miles now. I can't go far because the tires are so bad. OD doesn't seem to do very much. I can turn it off and on and see only about 100-150 rpm change, but there's not much of a "feel" to it? After I drove it and got up to full operating temp, the CEL came on. I've got a buddy with a scanner so we'll see what's going on fairly soon. The intake went back on with the new gaskets very well. Only hang us was the rear bolt would NOT go to the bottom. Nothing in the hole, so I "washered" it up. If I would have had the proper tap, I would have cleaned the thread. I hate aluminum with threads. It gets fouled up so easy.

Were all the bolts the same length that came out? Sometimes they put a longer one here or there for some reason.

Yes all the same length. I pulled all 11 out and double checked.
