Default 2002 dodge ram 1500 5.9l coolant leak.

i have a 2002 dodge ram 1500 4x4 5.9l crew cab(its the 3rd generation). i broke a thermostat housing bolt off in the intake manifold so i was giving a 2nd gen intake manifold everything is the same except the egr on the back of the 2nd gen intake manifold. Well i swapped the intake manifold with the one i was giving out new gaskets on new thermostat with gakset and housing, and new throttle body gaskets. after i hooked everything back up except the battery i went to fill the antifreeze up and notice im leaking pretty badly still. i havent started the truck up since it was parked before the intake manifold swap was done. im lost as to why im leaking so badly can anyone help? I will go back to the truck and try to get some pictures as where its leaking but all gasket from intake manifold to throttle body gaskets have been replaced already.
