Exhaust Manifold
Well I got 2 exhaust manifolds off ebay for $9 and $20 to ship them. No cracks or holes. I changed the one on the passenger side because there was a hole in it. Well it was more then a hole lol. I am surprised it didnt crack in half. Now the truck runs excellent and sounds even better. Just wanted to show yall the crack/hole.

Well between the idiot that did the head gaskets putting the old bolts and nuts back in. At 10 of 5 I had to run up to a ford dealer to gets the studs which cost me $26 fot the studs and nuts. It took me about 3 1/2 hours because there is so much you have to fight. I left the tire on. Just have to that off the wheel well which is a pain in the ***.
