Ram had it's first issue, broken exhaust manifold bolt on the drivers side. Parts ordered, fix soon as they come, will do both sides as preventative maint.
I dread that day.
Feel confident guy I deal with will treat me fair.
Sadly, doesn't matter which one of the big three trucks you buy, all are having the exact same issue for the exact same reason.
I did this job recently at my buddies shop I work at some times. Not that bad of a job , just had 2 broken bolts that needed to be drilled and tapped....
I'll use the weld a washer then nut to the broken bit n spin it out.
Bolts are undersized + overzealous with heat shield(s). On the carpet trucks we service, removing factory heat shields has seen failures go from broken bolt(s) and or cracked manifold every 3 maybe 4yrs to none at all. The beauty of servicing these trucks for hundreds of thousands of km's, easy to track what is a real fix or not. Every one of them is well north of 500k.
