my dad called and said he picked up some better drill bits so when he gets home hopefully we can get everything straightened out.

you should have been able to chirp second before without a problem, even with your 275's.

Glad to hear you got that bolt drilled out, I had that same problem on a Suburban that has been used for 13 years of fishing at the beach. So imagine all of the salt exposure rusting those bolts on. I tried the heating route and then tried to drill the sucker but realized that the application of the heat essentially hardened the bolts making it near impossible to drill. I ended up with a new exhaust manifold, fortunately you were more successfull.
