Description of the problem | This is a known recurring issue on dodge rams. On the right side of the motor the bolts holding the exhaust manifold to the head snap off and create an exhaust leak. This is a safety issue due to possible asphyxiation! I called in to register a complaint and i don't think it was coded as a safety issue! Dodge continues to ignore the problem and make consumers pay. This started 5-6 years ago when they downsized the bolt. |
