Magnums crack heads, just the way it is. I've never actually heard of cracked heads causing a problem in a Magnum V8..

very true, I havnt heard of problems niether. I am sure that there is a shocking amount of 318/360 heads out there that are cracked and we dont know it. But I couldn't put them back on knowing they were cracked, that would be like taking a shower and not changing your underwear.

Cylinder heads International. $375.00 for 2. UPS to you and you have 30days to send back your old ones. I have used these guys for all my dodge cracked head issues and have had none with them. As a matter of fact there are 2 of there heads setting on my slow going 360 block right now.

CCH has HD heads. Heavy Duty upgrade that don't crack. You can find them on ebay or search them they have a site. You can get 2.02 valve heads for the price of the stock 1.92's. Like 750 for the set last I looked

This is true, but I've heard of it causing a miss that can't be tracked down.

Is there any part on this truck that isn't a design flaw? Other than maybe the front axle and that's because it's a Dana, not a Dodge designed part.

The cigarette lighter seems to be pretty good.
