Blown my head gasket..again?
I changed out my head gasket seals because of frothy oil on the dip stick. Didn't look into it for a bit but recently checked the dip stick and there is yet again "frothy" oil. I can't afford to have a mechanic look at it. Also the front passenger manifold bolt was broke last installation, maybe that is the problem?

I can't remember if these Dodge trucks have oil coolers built into the radiators, but if they do, check it for possible internal leaks. If it is leaking, coolant can get into the oil cooler and into the engine making it look like a chocolate milkshake. I've had this problem on several Chevrolet Express vans that I work on for fleet maintenance.
Again, this is IF the dodge trucks have oil coolers in the radiators...which I am kind of leaning on the side that they dont....but you might as well check.

I don't see a missing bolt in that picture. Can you edit the photo and circle in red where you see a missing bolt and re-post?
The coolant could be leaking into the oil from the front cover and/or the intake, if its not seated/sealed properly. Also, make sure the water pump bypass hose isn't leaking, especially where the old factory clamps attach it to each nipple.
