Check amazon,I cant remember the exact size but last time i ordered a set of ARP's that were 12 PT 5/16-18X1.000
180 000 psi tensile strength so better than 8's

a guy i work with told me about this truck place. Lmc truck. wow they got just about every part for the durango dakota ram you name it. i ordered a set of header bolts today. 12.95 + shipping. but still i got the set 12 header bolts. they got awesome prices. i would sugguest them to anyone whos looking for parts. you can have them send you a catalog specific to your vehicle. so you dont have to sift thru pages of stuff that are for other vehicles. easy to order to.

I haven't put headers on my Durango, but years ago in high school we ran them on everything under the sun. Always had issues with the bolts coming loose. Tried many methods and the only sure way we found was to use socket head cap screws [Allen bolt] and drill a hole across the head. After instillation, lock wire them. It's takes a while to get them done, but once in, they WILL NOT come loose.
