Description of the problem | Is a well known issue in social medial (youtube https://www. Youtube. Com/watch? V=dqmulp2slwo&t=790s) that the 2011-2016 dodge ram 1500 will experience exhaust manifold bolt breakage due to the cast iron exhaust manifold and the aluminum heads having different heat displacement. The heat conducted by the cast iron exhaust manifold will eventually weaken the bolts causing them to break. The fact that dodge has not acknowledge this problem is posing consumers to pay thousands of dollars to have these broken bolts extracted from the aluminum heads. I would like to file a claim so that this issue may be brought up for future class action lawsuits. I look forward to discussing the matter in further detail. |
