Default 2005 Caravan Head Gasket Question

I am looking to replace my head gasket on a 2005 Dodge Caravan 3.3L V6. Only the rear gasket is leaking, but i plan on replacing both. The Fel-Pro set does not include the bolts or intake manifold gasket. I am planning on ordering new bolts. My question is do I need to by the intake mailfold gasket?

Yes. Always replace the gaskets. An old gasket isn't going to seal properly - better safe than sorry. ^_^

Be sure to inspect the pistons and pour some oil in the cylinders when the head is off to see if it leaks through the rings. I have tore into 2 of these engines with rear head problems and then both turned out to be ring/piston problems.
