Two things. The exhaust bolts from the factory often have thread lock on them. It is designed to hold fast when cold. If you heat up the remaining stud first you'll have more luck backing it out. 2ndly, for studs that are sheared off at the block you can buy a template kit online that bolts onto the head and you use it as a drilling guide, and can also be used to re-tap the threads. I highly recommend this for any Hemi owner. There are several on the market Lisle is one. As a preventative measure, replace the two rear most bolts every two years and "Do not over torque".

That's one of the side benefits of the method I use, since the welding process heats the remainder of the stud and breaks that thread lock residue free. Definitely if you're not able to access a welder those kits to drill the studs out are very helpful, trying to do it freehand is not advised 😄. Appreciate the tips you've offered! 👍

If it is a vacuum leak then broken exhaust bolts are not the problem. There is likely a leak somewhere after the throttle body that will need to be found. I would start by looking for a disconnected hose from the intake manifold.

I have heard of another possible reason for the problem. It was that too hard of acceleration on a cold motor is a possible reason since the head is aluminum and the manifold is cast iron. The different metals heat up at a different rate and therefore expand at a different rate. Hard acceleration blasts a lot more heat on the cold metal. It sounds very possible to me. I had the problem with my 09 Ram which came with a lifetime drivetrain warranty so it didn't cost me anything to get fixed. Since then I always take it easy on the gas until I see the temp gauge getting close to normal operating temp as a precaution.

It's from the expansion and contraction of the cast vs the bolt. Over time the bolt hardness changes and exhaust is corrosive ....it weakens the bolt and it snaps. Happens on the LS engine all the time. I've found volvo exhaust bolts rarely do this because of the stainless boron alloy , they are also quite a stretchy bolt . It might just come down to cheap metal .

I did my research and spoke to FCA. FYI FCA makes two types of replacement bolts. The cheaper set (about $1 per bolt) are the originals. The ones with a white paint dot on the heatsheild stud tip are the ones FCA recommemds to dealers to repair the issue for the back bolts. The first two dealerships parts people I spoke with were not aware of the improved bolts. The third had a tech that knew what they were for and used them. This was not easy to find out. I was told they are a different metal composition and are $5 each. Worked well. Thanks.

My theory on why these break. - 1) The heat shield covers the front three cylinders and the back of the manifold hangs out a good bit. 2) While driving on rainy wet roads when you hit a deeper puddle a lot of water splashes and it hits that exposed portion of the manifold, this quickly cools and warps the manifold eventually to the point of breaking the studs. 3) The right side more commonly breaks because there are more deep puddles along the curb. 4) The studs could have been sized larger but the corporate bean counters not going to make that happen now. A cheap fix would be to enlarge the heat or should I say rain shield. btw I put new manifolds on my Ram 1500 because when I laid the old ones on a table, the front three exhaust ports laid flat and the rear most was better than an 1/8 inch in the air. And I mean the rust pattern matches the warping and makes it pretty obvious this is the problem. smdh

I think this could happen, sure. However it far more likely that for whatever reason that side for the motor or both are running lean. I.e. the exhaust gas temp is super hot b_c the air fuel mix is off, prob from a fuel pump having low pressure or a vacuum leak on the intake will cause a lean condition as well. Also i have seen plenty of bent valves on these things which can also cause a lean condition. Any of these or a combination of two or more will cause the exhaust gas temp to sore. The manifold gets to hot and expands the stainless bolts have no give so they just shear off. If u are lucky they dont break of flush. But they always break off flush tho.)

Currently 45k miles and no problems at all. I do regular oil changes with good oil, no excessive idling, etc. I see all the discussion about repairing broken bolts, but no talk about replacing the bolts before they break. Wouldn't it be a very good idea to replace them all every 30-40k miles, and install the factory upgraded bolts (at least on the rear exhaust ports) ??? And coat with anit-seize to keep head threads in good condition. It seems like that would be MUCH easier than trying to dig a broken bolt out of the head at some point. Why don't people change the bolts before they break, or am I missing something? Thanks so much for your excellent videos and sharing your wealth of information with all of humanity! 🙂

I like your method of building weld up over welding a nut to the broken stud. Since my 2014 Ram 1500 w 82k miles started ticking two weeks ago, I'm sure I'll try your method first. I think I'll bite the bullet for the better hardware package as I don't want to do the job again down the road. Thanks!

Dealer replaced passenger bank of lifters and you can still hear it if the radio is off. Its loud and the valvetrain ticks like mad. The injectors on that car are also VERY loud. I gave up fighting Dodge, Ill throw in a Comp Cam and updated lifters when it finally does its thing. I dont see it as inevitable though I know a LOT of people with Hemis and my Challenger has the worst noise out of dozens I've seen.

Here's a little tidbit my mechanic and I stumbled on. Everything beyond the manifold is suspended by rubber hangers On my 2010 ram at 70k I started getting a loose coupler joint where the front Y pipe meets the single pipe. It leaked exhaust ot of that joint so we clamped it again with a new clamp. 20k later it happened again, the joint was loose and moving around This time my mechanic moved the clamp a little rearward re-tightend it and tacked the two piped with a few hits of the mig welder.. now at about 100k my Manifold bolt breaks at the passenger side rear. We repair that and I'm on my way. a few months later I'm in for an oil change and my mechanic noticed that connection was a little loose again and the mig spots on the exhaust had cracked and separated. We had a good look at it and wondered if it could be the weight of the exhaust swinging on the manifolds and snapping the rear studs.mmm we cut out that loose joint and removed 6" of pipe. Added a flex connecter..never touched the system or manifolds again. 350k now. I've replaced the flex connector once at 300 k.

Excellent video! After changing mine 3 times inside of 75k miles, I think I have found the root cause of this. I believe that the reason that it is usually only the back 2 bolts is because of the extreme heat radiating up from the catalytic converters that are only inches away. This would explain why people that install shorty headers never seem to have the issue again. The tubes for the headers allow the heat to dissipate before it reaches the bolts.
@ReignitedAuto
3 жыл бұрын
I also think part of the issue is that the cast iron manifolds are very thick, and they hold a lot of heat. This means they expand and contract at different rates to the aluminum cylinder heads. The shorty headers have a much thinner flange that allows the heat to dissipate much quicker.

Please define the difference in numbers of what the standard parts cost vs. the good stuff. I would like to know if paying the extra might save me one or more return trips to the shop to repeat this procedure, at significant cost each time. Do it right, do it once. Or do it cheap and be prepared to do it again. Of course this only applies if the upgraded parts actually ‘fix’ the problem. Thanks for your efforts, they are appreciated by many, myself included.

I have replaced the pass side twice now and the drivers side, first time now, on my 5.7 [160,000 miles]. The manifolds are clearly warped [straight edge] I put it back together and it is still noisy. I'm sure the manifolds didn't seat up properly so I guess I'm gonna have to upgrade to headers. I don't want to replace with stock manifolds because I have heard stock replacements are just gonna warp again.
@watchman11000

The problem is the factory manifolds are warped so bad that it causes excessive preload on manifold studs causing them to fail. I took my manifolds off and put a straight edge across them and found they were like 3/16 of an inch warped off center. Ordered new manifolds off Amazon (yes China made but they all are) they were not warped and replaced with new gaskets and hardware. No more tick and shouldn’t happen again. If you don’t replace warped manifolds you can expect this to happen again. I suppose you might be able to have a machine shop mill your factory ones flat but I never looked into it to see if it could be done.
@ReignitedAuto

This is true enough. Originally when this was first happening at the dealership we were sending the manifolds out to be surfaced flat again. Then we were just installing new exhaust manifolds period, then Chrysler decided they didn't want to pay for new manifolds anymore, so now we just put the old ones right back on... 🙄

So I have a gen 3 hemi charger AWD pursuit. I have a noise that is not a tick or a knock and is loudest when going into 4cyl at 65mph. It goes almost away switching to 8 cyl. It can be heard through the steering shaft and in both modes it has a odd resonance like something is grounding from the chassis to the fire wall. No codes, no performance issues it's just NVH. I am a mechanic of 25+ years and I have worked for ford, gm and now volvo plus 10 years in the aftermarket. It does not sound like valve trane to me it's loudest twords the rear middle of the block ( used stethoscope to pin point ) . I have almost zero experience with these cars and I really don't want to bring this to the dealership as I don't trust anyone to be inside my car ( worked in this industry a long time and I know that I will get " that guy " that will just over hand chuck parts at it) honor and image are at stake here. Could use some pointers.

Sounds to me like you're on the right track. That definitely sounds like a resonance issue more than anything else. I'd be looking at the front crossmember for anything that might contact the crossmember. Possibly the transfer case or something near the steering rack. If the mounts are worn for the engine/trans that might allow something to touch. It only takes the lightest touch for a bad vibration to appear. Like I said, I think you're on the right track. 👍
