Bought this truck, and learned a lesson....I need a garage and air tools..

Dealership says I need an after market header gasket, which I believe is true, but for a temp fix for the weekend...

Is it okay to use 1 or double up on stock header gaskets with an aftermarket header?

I need to get the truck back on the road to make it to an out-of-state job interview tomorrow. Any advise would be appreciated.

 

i don't see why not. what is the problem?

 

Dealership said it would leak....I am thinking 2 seals and some rtv-style silicon between them ought to do the trick...didn't know if anyone had any previous experience with this...

 

copper RTV will help along with the gaskets, but if they say it'll still leak with a gasket in there something is warped and needs to be machined.

 

Even with a leak though....the truck will run, it will just do so poorly, and sound like crap...but good luck on the interview, and yes I think doubling up with some copper RTV will help out, and leak less, if at all.

 

nice, thanks man! I hope it works!
