What kind of gaskets did you use with the headers? That really sucks, only 3 years old. Those shorties had to have been expensive.
I suppose you don't want to put them headers back on do you? I checked out that company, and they only have a 6 month guarantee on the gaskets.Try Taylor Cable, they are multilayered aluminum gaskets.
I hate to see you go back to stock. I would give it another shot.

Need reliability, with cost in mind. My temp job is finishing up soon unless I get extended for the 3rd time, so it will be a few weeks before the next temp gig starts up. Next projected temp project will be a 1.5hr commute one way. On the up side... at least it is relevant work experience I need on my resume
You need a cheap fuel sipper for that. With the way fuel prices are going right now, my truck is likely going to sit until prices come down.

I've occasionally looked for the past year, but haven't been real serious about doing it. I'll have to sell the truck to make it happen (can't keep both), and i'm not to eager to sell the truck to be honest. There is nothing overly special about the truck in itself (would rather have a 2500 6spd hemi), but the attachment comes from the 5+ years of ownership and doing ALL the work except for two things off the top of my head.... (Trans, and Tint). Trans because I can't, Tint because I am a perfectionist... although I did do the brow myself. When I finally find a full time perm job, I probably will swap out for a more economical car. Time will tell.

To the best of my knowledge, the Hemi was never backed by a manual transmission in the Ram.
