Man I saw this video in the morning, ran to autozone. 10 minutes to install from under 06 chevy express, 4.8. Awesome man thanks. 2 bolts broken and now it's quite
Lol me too. I've had the service engine light on for the last three years with a catalytic converter gasket code. I paid $1100 to have the catalytic converter's replaced. I changed all of the oxygen sensors myself. I did absolutely nothing and they told me I need to catalytic converter's knowing that that bolt was broken. Everybody sucks at their job I swear. I just bought this part today so hopefully it does the trick. Seems like it's made pretty well. 🇺🇸💪🏻👊🏻🤙🏼
I had 2 busted bolts, both on the driver's side (front-most and rear-most). I found a similar kit on Amazon (from Temsone) that resolved both my broken bolts. Decent quality but China built... (They used a 16mm head?! Nobody uses a 16mm?!) *A 5/8 SAE flex head ratchet wrench worked fine* *** IMPORTANT NOTE *** On my 07 Escalade EXT the block ground cable uses the same hole that the bracket's top bolt is going to need. The bracket kit I bought came painted (i.e. Grounding problem!) Before you install it, grind the paint off the bracket on both sides of the mating surface around the top bolt. (TH-cam GM block grounding issues, to learn more about the symptoms you're going to avoid by taking my advice on stripping the paint...) And yeah... The rear one sucked... (Turn on some smooth jazz, put the beer on ice and schedule lots of frusteration breaks...)

I saw a trick that will take about 15 mins. If you want to ck for exhaust leaks to be 100% sure on both sides hook a shop vac on blow and put in exhaust pipe and a bottle of soap and water and spray all around both manifolds and look for bubbles like checking a air leak on a tire. Great video may buy it I just found mine today same space. Using a wrench will take years comment made me laugh as that's what I'm gonna use lol. F! Cheers.
I have #7 -1-8 broken 7 has both broke I have a express 3500 van w/ 6.0 I think there's enough room to attach the tool, will use your link to buy tool. I don't really see alot of blackness carbon coating around header. w/ 3 broken bolts how much power an I losing? I'd remove the header if I could replace w/ a long tube however noone makes long tubes for express vans, an I've been told truck headers won't fit bc the van van is closer to engine. thanks for the video
This exact same bolts are gone on my 05 Sierra. The end bolt is either missing or broke off, I am waiting to borrow a borescope to see. But im gonna do this, looks like a bitch to do inside the truck though.
Extremely difficult to tighten the bolts. It took hours! Another issue is the vibration causes the bolts to loosen. I think a solution would be to put lock nuts on both sides of the bolt to the manifold.
Sounds like a knock until it heats up, just found two broken exhaust bolts on driver side of my yukon one in the front and one in the back. Thought I had a knock but it would go away completely after the truck warmed up, im gonna have to get that.
If you replace these bolts every 2 years you will never have broken exhaust manifold bolts. unfortunately these bolts are not going to last the full engine life 200 to 400k miles.
If you follow my link the information is there. It works for rear left or front right corners, just make sure you buy the one you need. I used the correct one for my location
@@BoBuilds fixed mine years ago. 6 or 7. Still holding. I will say maybe every couple thousand miles. Re tighten the bolt. Not sure why but it will loose every once in a blue.
@@BoBuilds you should look again you used the wrong bracket for back side. They make two styles. You worked way to hard. That bracket is for the front. 👍
@ryanthibeaux did you actually run an exhaust leak test or is the noise better? Mine did not fix the leak at all. You will get a code at some point with a leak. Ended up having to pull the exhaust and welding nuts on the broken studs and removing them. If I can do it so can you.

Is it still holding up?
Where do u get the. Bracket
Just did mine today and I can't believe the results in the difference it made
Thanks for the tips this was PITA and you saved some time installing it
Wish I knew about this 3 years ago. I appreciate the video, i'm sure others will run into this!

How the heck ima get to the back rear 😢 I can’t get the whole engine out
Lmao

You better believe it is! Lol thanks for watching man
Ayyy I’ve seen some of your videos, I’m from Houston too
Wow huge difference with the before and after.
I got the same 2 bolts broken in mine. Gonna try one of these

I’ve seen those videos. Seems like blowing all that soot in your exhaust back into your engine could be a disaster but you live and learn I guess.
That's showing your age....and mine too. The soapy water trick is the easiest way to find it. My Uncle showed me that one back in 1973.

You needed to fix the leak so the wideband would read correctly. lmao xD That's the only reason I put mine on.

I've been looking for passenger rear clamp with no luck. Any clues on where to find one for a 16' Silverado 5.3?

Can you use this method on the front of the head too??
do you know the part number for the driver side front bracket ???
917-142 at autozone
Looks like ill be trying this out.
I did something similar
Hehe. I weld
two pieces. Like that
And works perfect.
I didn’t know there was a piece like that 😂
For $47 after tax I think I will weld my own too!
Any solution with out removing the motor.
For reals any solutions please 🙏
He didn't pull his motor. If you watch the whole video, he explains how he did with the motor in the truck.
Is there a bracket like this for a 2008 f350 v10 6.8 ?
Why is there no year given for this particular motor ?
Did you have to remove head?
Looks like the only way to bolt the bracket on is to have the head out?
Bingo
Where can you buy this?
If you replace these bolts every 2 years you will never have broken exhaust manifold bolts. unfortunately these bolts are not going to last the full engine life 200 to 400k miles.
No need arp manifold studs are God sent
how u get the bottom one in lol
My guy, please fix that blue wire from running across your alternator. Your coils and wire's look too good for that.
Will it work for passenger side ⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️
It will for passenger front. The rear needs 107-142
You went that far just fix it right 😂
Just installed one on my truck wish I would've pulled the manifold and welded a nut on. It works but It is a pain to install
It is a pain!! But you could’ve also broken more trying to remove the manifold
Only because you used the wrong bracket if you did like video. They make two styles. That one was for front of motor. 🤣👍
@@glennlavalle9807 you have a link I don't think you know what you're talking about

Amazon, link should be in the description

It works for rear left or front right
Here’s a quote from listing
“it works on the left rear, or on the right front for the 1999-up 4.8/5.3/6.0/6.2”
That's just so wild
How’s it wild lol
I'm here to tell you that this part absolutely does not work lol
I have them on all of our service trucks I am here to tell you it works

Did you hear about that one Mexican that went to college? Yeah.. me neither.
Good video
Garbage, didnt work at all, dont waist your time, just do it right the first time
omg the engine is out to much work
Noooo you don’t have to remove engine
