and it only make the squeak when it idle gets rough
b/c it will be normal and no squeak and then the idle gets really rough and instantly the squeak comes
what could i do change oil weight or adjust tune to make idle less rough b/c tune was not changed after the headers. Can a a/f ratio adjustment make idle less rough?
I was saying to replace the bolts because I've seen lots of trucks with bolts broken off in the head. Usually towards the back on the passenger side, and its not from overtightening them. They've been installed from the factory never touched and usually gave up the ghost around 100k miles. This doesn't happen in texas? Maybe its the salt up here or something.

I have seen many rear drivers exhaust bolts broke.

Summit carries a combo kit that includes the Fel Pro's and the Stage 8's together. You might give them a try?!?
there not leaking anymore i just had to re-torque them so they dont leak at all now but the engine squeaks from in side and i don't know what it is!
