Thanks for the support mopar fam 🙏 this is a very easy straight forward repair its really not that bad at all👍

When the hemi starts ticking it means it wants long tube headers so it can exhale a lot easier and making you happier.

Should have checked to see if the manifold warped.

@ 16:50 when you start drilling into the broken bolt: Good call on the center punch. I’ve been told that the block wall there is pretty thin, and if the water jacket is breached, you’re going to have a very bad day. They sell drill guides online to help prevent accidents. Take your time with the drilling, and be careful.

I have a set of snap-on "reverse" twist drill bits. the reason is that if it catches just right while drilling, it may very well turn the bolt out at that stage.

Had this on my 2007 Dodge Ram 1500 SLT 5.7L Quad. I thought it was the valve cover gasket leaking on the exhaust, but now I know where the issue is now. Thank you!! 💯💯💯

Excellent tutorial. Exactly the issue I’ll be helping my son in law with tomorrow. Thank you!

Thanks for the video. Had the same one broke on my 17 hemi ram with 65k miles. Got it fixed in a couple hours thanks to your video and she’s quiet again!

My rebel been doing this since 60K miles. I am now at 105K miles. I think I will finally get this done. Dealership wanted $800 for this job. Will do myself this weekend. Thank You!

Every ram owner is here , I have this problem too at right side which I heard is much easier than left side , must fix it so I can sell it

Thanks for the great video , my 2015 ram just started almost exactly at 50,000 miles

Just got a great deal on a '15 ram but it has this ticking noise on the passenger side. This video is perfect, gonna knock this out soon! Thank you very much for making this, should save us a few hundred bucks! You rock!

Nice job doing the easy side 👍🏾😎

Pro tip: disconnect the y pipe on BOTH sides before you do anything else. Helps so so much

A new manifold is a must ... They warp ..

Good ol' mother Mopar. The same issue plagued the 4.7 WJ. I'm glad engineers decided to not change a single thing.

Great job.The only problem is it will happen again,the manifold itself warps

got info i been looking for great video btw

Thanks for the great video. Getting ready to do my sons 2012 Ram. Drivers side front corner bolt is broken the same way

I’ve had my TRX 3 days and I hear this! How fun time to fix lol

Try it on a 12 RAM in the rust belt...lol I used the Lisle template and sort of stepped the drilling from 1/8,3/16,17/64 and used a Irwin #3 spiral tap...now for the driver's side...the template drills dead nuts.

I learned this lesson on a 2016. Scared the shiite out of me as I was fearing lifters or some more shiite. Long story short it turned out to be 6 busted bolts and she sounded like Chitty Chitty Bang Bang if your old enough to get it. Luckily I had 3k miles left in warranty and took her to a mechanic friend who handled it.

Thank you guys so much!

This was a great video!

You guys are amazing thank you for the video it truly help me

That's a clean 2012 😮 I have a 2012 from Wisconsin and it looks nothing like that. My upper control arms are a rusty mess LOL 😆

Just had this done to my 2016 ram 1500 Bighorn 5.7 hemi! :-)

I had this on my 2020 with only 28000 miles. If this has been going on for years, why in the hell haven’t they redesigned this part?

I have this issue and I’m glad I got it at 90k miles because my warranty ends at 100,000. Not to mention I’m hearing a click noise from the front of my car possibly the CV axels.

Good job many blessings

I'm assuming you have headers on frostbite. Did you hammer the rivets on the felpro gaskets that are in the way for the flange on the header?

Is there a history of the replaceement bolts breaking as well? What about when the OEM manifold is replaced with long tube headers, is the problem showing up there also?

Next one you do get a straight edge and lay cross that manifold to see how bad it's warped. They seem to be made so cheap that they pull away from the block and break bolts.

Love the video brother 👍 What extractor did you use to remove the broken bolt?

I read somewhere that Chrysler has put stronger bolts on the manifolds for newer hemis. Can’t remember what year they did this and I haven’t been able to find much information about this online but apparently the stronger bolts usually don’t snap. Since the bolts don’t snap as easy it doesn’t usually allow the manifold to warp which causes the manifold to crack instead. If I remember correctly all 5th Gen rams have these stronger bolts. My 2020 5th gen ram 1500 sport doesn’t have a loud ticking noise like this but it does sound like it has a leak coming from the manifold on the left side near the back of the engine where the manifold gets the hottest. Its not as noticeable as a broken bolt so some 5th Gen owners might not even know theres a leak so I advise people to constantly check for cracks even if there isnt any noticeable symptoms. It’s louder on cold start but doesn’t fully go away at normal running temps. I’ve noticed a slight decrease in fuel economy and acceleration recently so I think I caught it right when it happened. I drive my truck hard and these Canadian winters get pretty cold so its 100% inevitable with an oem manifold in my case. Im going to plug the tailpipes briefly and see if the noise im hearing becomes more noticeable. I’ve only had the truck for 2 years and only put 45 000 km on it so thankfully I still have warranty just in case lol

how did you flatten the warped exhaust manifold

Great Vid. Thx

My 2020 might have this problem. Thanks for the vid, (that Jack sucks...)

Good luck on doing this on a 2009 and older in the rust belt almost every bolt breaks when taking out and an extractor won't do it have to weld a nut to the bolts to extract them about to do this on my 2003 and hoping my titanium 110 Flux core welder is hot enough to do it

Headers for the win!

just live with it 🎉

Same thing on my 2021 5.7 at 28k miles..... switching to headers

Anyone have an estimate on how much this repair would cost? I’m in NC.

I fixed the broken bolts on my 4th gen. One lower on cylinder 8, 1 upper bolt cylinder 7. Put in a set of shorty ceramic headers from MOES. Driverside was a pain in the ass, but it went in.

It is easier to weld a nut on the bolts. I would suggest having the manifolds machined because they are probably warped. The bolt broke because the manifolds get warped.

thank you! nicely done

Thank you

I know its not a major deal, but still, what a pain in the hooey just to fix a broken bolt. A stronger design is needed.

Thanks man. And not to expensive to do.

Just did one of these and it looks like you didn't replace the manifold? Your old one is warped and the bolt will break again. I'd highly recommend getting back in there before that happens.

Have the same problem on my 2019 Rebel and the dealership told me its a $1600+ cost to repair. How much was the total cost for those parts? Helpful video btw

Reall good video

Bolt extraction is very similar to a root canal I had done

Just wondering . . . Does a leaking exhaust manifold hurt the engine, besides the ticking? Can it make one or more of the cylinders run too lean, or something? My ticking noise isn’t too bad, so I wonder if the juice is worth the squeeze. I’m inclined to just let it go.

Mine does this it is very cold but it ticks from the passenger side on my 09 Chrysler Aspen but it still does it when it is warm but it isnt coming from the upper part of the motor the sound is coming from behind the tire

nice video. if i were to suggest something, a hat with a light on it for when showing things underneath. i'm about to perform some dodge surgery myself.

This seems very easy to do , Where is your shop located

2013 Ram 1500 Reg cab 5.7l Sport 4x4 , My right side broke at 55k. Then at 104k which is my present miles , the left side broke. Both rear bolts.

Check the exhaust manifold thats what was ticking on my buddys new 1500 5.7 hemi at around 20k miles

Question, was there any additional sealant needed on the new gasket before you bolted it back in? Looks like you just sanded/cleaned the leaked exhaust and installed? I just took a look at my Hemi and seems I too have the same problem, so thank you for sharing this video, super helpful!

I just seen graphite gaskets are available through summit. Do you think they are worth the extra money? They are 20 to 30 dollars more than factory ones. I have a 2010 jeep grand Cherokee 5.7 hemi

Welding a nut on is easier and less risky if you have access to a welder. Also, you want to sand or machine the manifold flat to remove the warp.

Gonna do this to mine prob this month. I'm honestly tired of hearing it upon start up lol

Have a 2016 ram and the ticking goes on and off, haven't checked manifold yet

Esa fuga y sonido no generaba una falla de fuerza de la camioneta en subidas y en arranques

What drill bits and extractor sets did you use? I have one on each side in the back

would it be wise to use the manifold along with drill guide bushing to drill into the broken bolt, than remove the manifold and use the extractor to remove the broken piece?

Do you think a double gasket system would help as this seems to be an ongoing problem?

What kind of drill and type of drill bit was that? All these videos appear the bit goes right into the stud like butter.

Why does it seem to be the passenger side almost every time , I've never had a warped manifold/ header break bolts, leaks yes, but not broken bolts. I think it's the way the exhaust is hung

Would getting a whole new exhaust system fix the issue? Been thinking of getting a borla system

I am being told to replace both gaskets. Which I am not apposed to doing. But should they be charging $1000 for doing the work and parts? Does that sound right.

Donny Baker?! I didn’t know you were a mechanic!?

The bolts that weren't broken I was able to remove with a regular ratchet almost as if they don't get torqued properly

Rams and Makitas, thats how you identify the best 💯

They don't all get quiet after warming up especially the SRT charges. Louder as u accelerate and losing power

Did my 2016 passenger side 2 years ago. Same bolt broken flush. I now have the drivers side with the front top bolt broken. FCA makes upgraded studded heat shield bolts for the 8 heatshield manifold bolts. They have a white paint dot on the stud tip They use them when they do the repair under warranty. Different alloy. Expensive. $10 per bolt.

There needs to be a class action lawsuit for this! My '14 Ram 1500 is in the shop as a write this for the 3rd time for leaking exhaust/ broken bolts. 1st time under warranty. Second time to put BBK Shorty Headers on... 2 days later they leaked with Remflex gaskets and the best bolts I could buy $1600. The shop said they had to only tighten one bolt 1/4 turn to fix the issue which was highly sus as it sounded like both sides were leaking. It's In a different shop now to see if putting new Remflex gaskets (recommended by BBK) will fix the problem. Only $600 if all goes well. DO NOT BUY A CHRYSLER PRODUCT! Further: After I told my neighbor about the problem, he later bought a used 1500. After taking it to the shop to get fixed it started again! Guess what problem he still has? I feel his pain. 🖕🖕 to RAM 👉 At 140K mi I had to rebuild the rear axle $1400. At 150K mi I had to have a new heater core put in $2500... 10 hours to pull the dash to fix it. Then they told me I needed a new AC pump because it locked up when they put the oil back in it. $1200. DO - NOT - BUY - A - CHRYSLER - PRODUCT!

My extractor busted off... cant get it out. Tried welding nut to it twice... nothin doin.

Does any one have opinions on what I been having a Issue on My 2016 1500. When The truck is hot and has been running for awhile I notice when I push the gas to take off it takes a lot of foot power to accelerate like the truck doesn’t want to go so I have to floor it to move?? loss of power out of fist gear.

I replaced my 2013 Dodge Durango with a new manifold, bolts Ect. Everthing all new after I installed the part noise was gone but It was smoking slightly what could that be from??

Mine has a broken bolt, but mine ticks all the time. Is that normal also, I noticed you said yours goes away when it warms up, mine doesn't

I have a 2005 Dodge Magnum RT and I have had to replace the passenger side cat and my car has really rich exhaust but I've replaced all 4 O2 sensors. I think I have an exhaust leak on the passenger side. Did the headers warp from the heat and aren't sealed against the block anymore or did the bolt just snap? Is that why I smell exhaust?

I replaced my manifold bolts yesterday on my ram 1500 5.7 hemi and torqued them to 22ft pounds instead of 18ft pounds. Should I back them off and retorque them or let it ride?

Was the manifold warped? If so, Did you have to do any machining to flatten it out?

I am wondering why the OEM part/bolt broke and why the replacement part won't suffer the same fate?

Curious would this be covered under power train warranty?

How do you keep the bolts from breaking again? Are the replacements better or same crap as factory?

Do you have to resurface the exhaust manifolds? How much torque on the new bolts? Loctite? Or Neversize? Is there a gasket where the exhaust pipe connects to the manifold.? Thanks for the video...I have to do this now at 250k on my 2010 2500 hemi.

Same problem on my 2016 Ram, do you know if Srt headers will fit our trucks?

I have the same problem with my 2013

Is there any better bolts you can buy to ensure this wont happen again?

@ Mopar Motorsports Can this happen with a dodge charger 5.7 hemi?

Hi, my UK mechanic replaced both manifold gaskets including getting broken bolts out. He billed me for 32 hours at £1900. Is this excessive?

The bolts break because the manifold is warped. Can I ask why the warped manifold was not replaced?

Would this trigger a misfire In a cylinder if the bolts are bad?

Do you think it’s better to replace the manifold or machine and reuse it?

It’s going to snap that bolt again. That manifold is warped and needs machined down or it’s going to just put the strain back on the bolt until the bolt snaps again or the manifold cracks. My 2020 Ram had a bolt snap due to a warmed manifold and the warranty replaced both manifolds and hardware.

Why didnt u replace the manifold? Dont they break due to warping?

Mine is doing the same thing would I be better off just getting aftermarket headers
