broken bolt on intake manifold! help me!
like the actual intake manifold? if so you could try and use a reverse drill bit or an easy out.. but I would recommend just taking the time to take the full intake off and then try to use vicegrips on the broken bolt or if you have access to a welder, just weld a nut to the top of the broken...- Bigdaddycodes

Check engine light
I didnt realize it was a 4.7, I just assumed hemi, that is my bad, so there are wires to replace, but the chances of them being worn out are pretty slim, as for plugs though, I would recommend just doing all 16, especially trying to fix a misfire issue- Bigdaddycodes

Check engine light
time for plugs, he wont have wires. and I am going to have to disagree on replacing all the coils at one time, with only 70 000miles they should still be fine, if the one coil is at fault then just the one is needing to be changed, as for plugs though, definitely replace them all at once. and...- Bigdaddycodes

Check engine light
Im going to have to say that seafoam probably wont help, it actually might make it worse as it can foul out your plugs, I would find a way to move coils around, check spark plugs, if you have access to a good scan tool you can monitor the coils on it as well.- Bigdaddycodes

Cv shaft install trouble
If you can put a bit of grease around the oring it will help, grease the oring and then centre it on the shaft, the grease olds it in place. from there just align the shaft in the front diff and give it a firm shove- Bigdaddycodes

resurfacing front rotors
Personally I always just replace them, its about the same price by the time you factor in shop rates to machine them. Machined rotors also tend to warp easier as they are no longer as thick. and the amount they take off always varries depending on the wear and warpage that is on the rotor, I...- Bigdaddycodes

Tire replacement
Im going to have to vote for duratracs, thats what we run on all of our fleet trucks, and what I run on personal truck before I lowered it, they are fantastic in the winter, smooth and quiet on the highway and I am usually seeing around 100 000km to a set of tires (im from Canada eh)- Bigdaddycodes

2013 5.7 headers?
Jba shorty headers are very good fitment and require no mods to the exhaust, do yourself a favour though and use stage 8 header bolts instead of the ones that come with the headers- Bigdaddycodes
