Thanks for the video. I have a 98 3.9L and I believe the foremost stud on
the passenger stud is broken. Will get around to checking it out soon. I
like how you took the time to double-check the torque of the studs/nuts.
Too many guys get in a hurry to be done. Good job!
Thank you for making our job a dream.Changed the very rusted unit in record
time with your very complete video seminar. Used Mopar bolts and hardware
as recommended by a friend whom has used the aftermarket stuff and
regretted it.
Thanks for the video. My Ram 1500 with 4.7 engine and 5 speed manual
transmission failed the safety because the left rear manifold was leaking.
I managed to get 6 of the 8 bolts out. The last two I burned the heads of
the bolts off. The heads had rusted away and I could not get anything on
them to turn them. Just a quarter turn and you can back the bolts out by
hand. I replaced all of the bolts. Thanks for the information, I was
really worried before I saw this video.
I’m planning on replacing the right side exhaust manifold and have been
advised by a Dodge mechanic of many years to use factory bolts. I got them
from the dealer. The manifold is aftermarket. Dealer says no gasket
needed,in fact they don’t carry any. I’m going to use one since the
manifold is aftermarket. Haven’t started yet…wish me luck.
nice vid…my leak on my 05 4.7 is at the flange, just after the manifold
(driver side)….any suggestion on a repair but insexpansive? Was thinking
about cutting the flange buying a pipe and a coupler et clamps…. thx
I have an exhaust leak just like this one same side looks like same truck,
great truck never gives me any real problems. Manual 5 speed [automatics
often have problems in and around 120k], My 99 dakota 4×4 v8, had the leak
since I bought it last year and is more then just an annoying sound as this
leak is costing me about 100km a tank of fuel, due to the O2 sensors
detecting too much oxygen in the exhaust, and therefore tells the engine’s
computer to add more fuel to compensate to the programmed CO2 levels it is
looking for. If this fix does not fully improve my gas milage then the O2
sensors need replacing too, especially if you have a code reader that tells
you this. they are an extra 150 buck investment and should get OEM ones. I
was going to get this job professionally done and did include a regrinding
of the maybe warped manifold to the tune of 150.oo to 750.oo [worse case]
As I couldn’t bare the thought of drilling out broken studs in such a
cramped space, but this video has changed my mind for sure. Thanks a lot
for this well done video!
I bought the kit from an online store, but shipping took a bit long and it
was short on rear bolts (the 2 rear ones are longer). I’ll check to see if
I still have the parts # and you can search for them that way
Thanks, but don’t worry too much! After checking all local autoparts
stores, I went to the local dealership. The price for the bolts was only
4.00 each. Again awesome video, it hepled a great deal!
HUGE thanks for this vid! I have an 06 I purchased with dealer warranty.
found out gaskets not covered. quote was $449 with manifold. $270 without.
(ridiculous) pretty straightforward repair.

is this same for the 3.9 2wd
Thanks for the video, replacing mine this weekend! 04 Dodge Durango

I second the rivets question.. How do they come off and Can u reuse? I
broke one trying to pry it out.

How do I remove the rivets and am I able to reuse them?
Never thought about removing the wheel and well wall for better access.
Very helpful video. Thanks!

Is the sensor that I see the exhaust gas temp? I’ve been looking for this
sensor on my dodge. Can anyone post a video on how to replace one?
Great Video! Thank you for your help!

I took my truck to some charlatans that wanted 1600 bucks to replace my
exhaust and intake manifolds. I think I’ll try it myself. Thanks.
What was the torque setting you used to tighten the manifold? I too have a
03 Dakota with an exhaust leak in the exact same spot!
Great video. I have to replace my 07 manifold. Wow! Looks easier than I
thought. Do you recommend the blaster?
nicely done
It’s not a bad idea to have it around. I’ve read the bolts could brake off
while trying to remove them… just wanted to prevent that from happening
Thanks for the video. I bought the bolts from local Dodge dealer. $13.00
for full new set.
You made it look easy ! Thanks you for the video and the music was cool as
well : )
Thank you so much man. this is what i thought was wrong with my truck and
this video and the before video helped me out so much!
It’s a 2003. It might not be exactly the same but it will be very similar
Just wanted to say thank you. I just did this today and it was a snap
following this video.
Thank you making this!! Wish I found it before I started
Thanks for this awesome video. Watching it is going to make doing this a
breeze.

Thank you so much for making this video and sharing!
Great video! I have to do this job and was thinking it was going to be a
lot tougher than this .
What year is this truck? Looked super easy and want to get started this
weekend but would like to know if this is same as my 2006. Thanks!
Will a 2002 Dodge Ram 1500 4.7L have similar gaskets? I’m not sure if it’s
my gaskets yet but I’m assuming it more than likely is.
Good video! Where did you get the replacement bolts?
good video it was short and to the point showed every step very good buddy
Yes, I believe it’s the same
