Could I have cracked the head when I overtightened and broke the manifold? Is a head gasket/valve job now in my future too? Ugh.... suddenly life is getting complicated in my driveway....Ha!

Hope you don't have to go to far, but pulling the head isn't that big of a deal. It's worth it damn it! That truck is worth it!
