So I was under the hood today....
And my buddy happened to notice I was missing a bolt holding my turbo to my manifold. Looked some more and found a nut missing on one of the studs too.( Both on the front) So after an hour of getting the right bolt, lock washer, nuts I got the bolt back in and tight. Well I went to put a nut on the stud in the back and SNAP stud broke of in manifold. So after a throwing of tools and a few choice words I'm wondering if it will be ok to drive until I have time to take the whole manifold back off and put a new one in. No telling how long the 2 had been missing before and I had been driving around.

Should be ok to drive for a while, worse thing that could happen is exhaust leak. Drive with window open at top to be safe when driving truck. Stay safe and Merry Christmas.
You should be ok. If you find your eyes burning or you smell exhaust just do like the others said and crack your driver side window. Nothing like a little carbon monoxide poisoning to cheer up your Christmas day.
