Yup, my plenum gasket was toast (pics)

I bought the felpro O rings from advanced auto. I heard felpro is a decent brand so they should hold up for a while.
I guess I'll be getting the clips from the dealership because there aren't any part stores that sell them. I'll probably have them install the clips too because they such a pain to install. Is there a special tool I can buy that will make this easier?

The dealership had the clips for 65 cents each, so I figured it wasn't really worth it to go to the junkyard.
I once again found that I should take advice from forum members when I'm given it. I remember a bunch of people telling me that I should replace the bypass hose while I have everything out of the way, but I ignored them. 2 days after getting my truck back on the road, I sprung a massive coolant leak and traced it back to the bypass hose. It actually split in half lengthwise! Anyway, live and learn I guess! Thanks again everyone for your help, my truck's never run better and I've gained 3mpg!
