2017 ram 2500 broken manifold bolts

Check the joint in front of your muffler, every person I know with the newer style Ram has had a bolt break at the joint causing a leak. It's pretty loud at startup but eventually seals itself up. The ones I have heard are louder than the manifold leak, which usually just tick when cold.

I replaced the bolts and steel gasket with factory parts myself. They quoted $275 to do it so I said no, just sell me the parts. I think the gasket and two bolts came to $60 :eek: but I took them anyway. One bolt sheared but I got it out with some heat. Took ten minutes. They also quoted the side mirror glass for $467. Part is about $220 and takes ten minutes to change. Their labor charges are out of control.
