Dodge Ram 1500 Exhaust Manifold Removal & Replace (Driver Side)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 10 ก.ย. 2024
- This video is an in depth step-by-step covering the removal and installation of the drivers side exhaust manifold on a 2011 Dodge Ram Hemi 5.7. The original manifold warped causing two of the bolts to shear off. This will create an exhaust leak and will cause the HEMI tick. The driver side installation is much more complicated than the passenger side due to the steering column, AC lines and dipstick adding salt to the adventure. I will show you how to remove two different types of broken stud bolts. One is sheered off flush with the block and the other is broken but the shaft sticks out of the block. I will show you how to use a welder to extract one of the bolts as an easy out wasn't an option.

Was looking for a vid where the dip stick & steering intermediate shaft didnt have to be removed. Nice!
Literally came here to see how to move the dip stick to slide this damn thing out. Thankyou!
That was the toughest part of the whole repair!
Thanks for taking the time to make this video! Really appreciate it. I hope this is the problem with my 05 and not the lifters or cam shaft.
A trick : you can watch series on Flixzone. Been using it for watching lots of of movies lately.
@Landry Derrick yup, I've been watching on flixzone} for since november myself =)
@Landry Derrick definitely, have been watching on Flixzone} for months myself :D
You made that look way easier than it really is, I'm sure of that. Great vid.
Thats good. Nothing like a lil ol fashion video editing;) The passenger side was very easy to do. The drivers side on the other hand was labor intensive and tested my Tetris skills.
@@MechanicLife yeah, I have a 2003 Ram 1500 that's gonna need some attention on the exhaust manifold. I'm prolonging it as long as I can cuz I'm sure it's going to be a whole lot of no fun.
@@MechanicLife
I’m happy to see you admit this.
Did the passengers in 3 hours ( two broken bolts below the shear line)
The drivers is a nightmare.
Very nice.
My wife got me a 03 1500 ram 5.7 but the manifolds leak. The shop wants $1000 to replace both. I think once the weather becomes bearable I will give this a shot. Thank you for taking the time to show us this.
You bet. Good luck on the change out.
Changed mine yesterday on my 2014 and used your video as a guide. So helpful man, thanks. One thing to note is that the Doorman bolt kit was not available for my year, not sure why, I had trouble getting bolts from any parts store so ended up having to get them from the dealership and for both sides the total was about $135. Love your videos by the way.
I have heard that the 2014 is hard to find the bolts for at autoparts stores. Thanks for the tip on where to get em. Did you already do the fix? How did it go??
Lukes Garage All done. It was a little more difficult than you made it look lol. Had 2 broken bolts on passenger side, one was sheared flush, got the $89 welder from HF & got it out. On driver’s side, unbolting the steering shaft (1 bolt) made pulling it out and putting it back in much more easy.
Freakin cool! Ninja welding techniques. Good call on the steering shaft.
Maybe someday this will be a recall.
The left side is a much bigger pain just because of the brake lines and steering shaft being in the way. Took my 4 hours to do my first one, but now I've done enough that it's about 90 minutes including averaging one below flush stud extraction.
great video you hit it wright on. guys like you make us home garage guys mechanics lol
Thanks 👍
Dude!!! You rule!! Thanks for this video. I didn’t remove my manifold. I left it next to the head and snaked the new gasket up into position.
Thats awesome!
@@MechanicLife I'm wondering (if you keep your ram for a long time like I might do) if it would be worth it to preemptively replace the manifold bolts closest to the firewall (or all of them) every year or two, then you don't have to remove a broken one? Hmmm.
In the short term it will definitely help. If you can get after them before the manifold starts to warp that is the key. Digging your thinking!
@@MechanicLife I did the passenger side first because it broke a bolt first about a year ago (74k miles on truck) and I just did the driver side this weekend (85K miles). Not sure how long they will last this time, I might have them resurfaced by a machinist or buy new ones. Not sure yet. Will even consider shorty headers.
Yours wasn’t warped?
I drilled the bolt and used a reverse thread bolt extractor and it worked well. I was worried about accidentally drilling too far, but it worked out.
Nice!
Great video, it helped me out alot replacing my gasket. The only thing I will add is that you mistook “vice grips” for “channel locks”.
No big deal, just thought you’d like to know🤘🏻
Thanks!
Thanks for doing this video. It helped me come to the conclusion that I don't want to attempt this project myself lol.
Had me laughing!! LOL
SO NICE of you do do this!!! Thanks! Looks like the better way is to go with the JBA short headers over OEM... is that the consensus? As long as the mileage does not drop seems like they would not warp like the OEM. My buddy said this happened to his RAM every 40K miles. Only issue he had in 200K miles that was recurring.
I would agree going OEM will keep causing the same issue. Those short headers sound pretty sweet!
If you can afford it yes do the headers. Wrap them rascals!
Ya bro seen your other video, here's some good Oldschool double the gasket as dodge should of done and this problem would be very rare ,exspicialy if you put header👌👍you no what I mean,Love peace n dodge Grease. 😎good job ,good video.
Ram hates us! Im doing mine now and Im pretty sure some engineer did this on purpose . Thanks for making video to help us all .
You bet! I am surprised that they haven't fixed this issue. Its so well known and causes so many problems...and is expensive to have fixed it you don't do it yourself.
Great video! I’ve had this exhaust leak on both sides on my 2013 Ram for a little over a year now. I’m a little hesitant on tackling this project but you made it look pretty easy. I originally purchased the passenger side gasket & set of bolts only on EBay about a year ago but now thinking I should buy the exhaust manifolds for both sides too. Also looking to purchase a welder to make things easier & try out my 7th & 8th grade welding skills on those broken studs..
The passenger side was massively easier for sure. Start on that side first if you do. I have a video up covering that side as well.
Lukes Garage Ok, perfect! Can you tell me how many manifold bolts & how many studs there are & if there is a difference in the # of bolts & studs between the passenger & driver’s side? I’ve seen online 5 bolts & 4 studs with nuts or 4 bolts & 5 studs with nuts.. Like to order them before I start.. Thanks again for your help!
There are 4 studs and 4 bolts.
Check out my other video. Has a great diagram. th-cam.com/video/oLTwESStr4U/w-d-xo.html
nobody didnt catch him saying Block and not Head LOL. Only picking on you man. Great Video
Wouldnt be the internet if people werent calling you our ;) LOL
I'm here after my mechanic quoted me 1100 for the job 😂, calling my father in law over for some help. Thanks a ton.
Good luck! Hit me up if you have any problems. YOU GOT IT!!
Ive had two Dodge trucks that developed exhaust leaks from warping manifolds. I've never replaced the manifolds out of fear that new ones will warp as well. I ended up spending 4 hours and getting quite a workout to grind the old ones down myself. I figure that the old ones were less likely to continue warping and, therfore, have a more permanent fix.
I’m about to do the same thing soon.
napa machined mine for 40 bucks i didnt trust new either worked out good 5 years still good
Totally agree. I also went with the more expensive stainless steel bolts. Hopefully they hold up better. We will see. So far so good.
How did you grind it down?
The quickest and easiest way I got those broken bolts out was using shorty drill bits to drill holes and hammering a star bit into the hole and backing it out with my drill
Great idea!
I dread having to do this but thanks for the heads up.... Here we go
Good luck! DM me if you need assistance.
Hi there, so won't the same thing hapen again with the new OEM headers and bolts? I am thinking about putting in shorty headers, but those are tough with space restrictions and I would probably need an engine tune with different headers?
Yes eventually it will happen going with the same application.
@@MechanicLife Hey thanks for the reply. OK, so I figured that would be the case. So what do you recommend for replacements? Short tube headers? Long? I have seen other videos of the shorty replacements being a pain because access to the bolts is a noghtmare and long tubes require a whole exaust system replacement. Whats youre recommendation? Or just get high quality replacement hardware and hope it doesn't repeat? What about just getting the headers resurfaced if any warp?
The answer to our prayers guys, BD DIESEL exhaust manifolds, they’ve figured it all out, it’s cheap.
I'm getting those next time for now dorman will do
Is there any reason to rush and fix this besides than the noise? Mines ticking, it's annoying but I can live with it
No, not really.
The original has 10 bolts the new one had 8 will this be a problem
@MechanicLife What is a good grounding point for the welder since it’s an aluminum head? What did you use? 11:23
Question please reply, it shouldn't cost $875 in labor to change both manifolds on a dodge durango RT?
I think that sounds pretty realistic. Both manifolds with new bolt kits and markup probably around 350-400. Labor will be about 4-6 hours at $100 an hour.
But you said just labor...what do they charge an hour? It may be pretty close depending on what they charge an hour. I have had people tell me they've been charged anywhere from 600 for a complete job all the way up to 2k!
ty so much for the video i was stumped for 3 days trying to figure out how to take off that manifold from the pipe. thanks!
Glad it was helpful! The drivers side was a bear. Were you able to get the broken studs out?
Hello its good to put anti seize on the bolts 👍
I have no idea how to get the manifold out once unbolted. I have a 2017 and the oil dip stick blocks everything I try. Any advise?
Crazy helpful. Thanks so much.
Glad it helped!
Hey man, so is it a good idea to change both at the same time? My passenger side is being switched along with the head gasket. Dealership said the other side is good and there is no need to change. But after speaking to the mechanic, he actually admitted that the dealer was trying to cut corners and save money cuz they need to pay due to warranty. Should i be concerned. Thank you in advance.
You don't need to at all if one side is still good. However, I would inspect the bolts to see if any holding the manifold to the block are missing on the side that hasn't. Agreed though that a dealership will do everything to cut corners if its still under warranty.
Where is your tutorial for tack welding the nut on
Well...I want to thank you for this video first and foremost, the step by step instruction is fantastic for the diyer like me...however I think I'm in over my head possibly...lol
You bet!
If you take it on and get stuck let me know! The passenger side is way easier than the drivers. I have a video up on that side too.
How did you get the manifold set in without removing the oil dipstick tube?
It took some serious ninja work to make that happen. That was the single toughest part of the change out.
Do you think this work could cause rusted bolts on the exhaust pipe under the cab to shake loose? I had this work completed by the dealer. About 35 miles after having it replaced I sprung an exhaust leak, the bolts rusted right apart. When I brought it back to the dealer they said that it was separate from the manifold and was not caused by the work they had just completed. The exhaust repair is not covered under warranty. I wasn't sure what to do so I just left haha.
Hey man thanks for putting this video out it was very helpful and way easier than I was anticipating in tackling this little job on my 2008 Dodge Ram Hemi 5.7.. If it helps anybody out there when bolting up the y-pipe to the collector tighten the bolts/nuts evenly to achieve a uniform fit. Saved myself some $$ FAT COIN $$ with your Help.
That's awesome you took it on yourself!! Thanks for adding the tip in there too.
Thx for this
Definitely better then paying someone else 1000$ at the least to do this for u on top of parts lol
;)
Warping is VERY common on cast iron manifold and it's on several vehicle makes and models
Yes it is. Maximum warpage
@Mechanic Life i took my truck to the muffler shop today to find out the driver side manifold has warped and made it cracked so will have to replace the manifold
Thank you for the video I have a 2027 1500 hemi ram and just noticed a exhaust leak or a person told me he hears an exhaust leak is this dangerous can it cause a fire
good video, good visuals and explanation
Thanks!
What's the dorman part number for the bolts and do they work for the 2015
The bolts should be compatible. Just make sure that you are replacing on the 5.7 Hemi. Couldnt hurt taking taking a bolt and a stud into the store with you though to make sure they are the same. Dorman 03309
Thanks for this video! On cold mornings I get the exhaust tick from the drivers side. I have had my 2019 for a little over a year, 44,000 miles so powertrain warranty should cover this. Could I reach up and put my hands on the back of the heat shield from under the truck to wiggle before I make an appointment with the dealer?
Just make sure its still cold! Dont want to grab a hot heat shield.
I have a dodge 3500 roadtrek camper van, would repairing it be a lot different than the dodge 1500? This video is the closest I could find to my dodge
Try using Liquid Torch or Thrust instead of PB Blaster. Blaster sucks.
thanks
You bet!
On the original manifolds, were they threaded for the y pipe? It looks like the hole is smooth but there’s a nut on the backside.
Would it help to warm up the engine? I hear that removing the bolts while the engine is warm helps to stop them from snapping.
Yes, it will help.
Hello I need to do mine also the driver side I see yours is a 2011 would the manifold be the same as mine I have a 2015 I wanted a part number for mine please and thank you
Good question, mine is a 2014..will it be the same scope of work?
Hi there great video just wanted to ask, did you use any rtv on the gasket? Thanks in advance this video was very helpful
Do you remember what size nut you used to weld? Lol
10mm
Got a 2019 ram with leaking manifolds, needs new steering rack and pinion, radio gets terrible reception, mirror comes loose, tailgate sticks, fog lights and bulbs in front have terrible connections and come on and off when driving, bed metal so thin you can’t mount a cover without bending, transmission has rough downshifts when it wants too and the list goes on. All with 65k miles.
Dang! That thing sounds rough...
What if u just drive it with busted manifolds. Heat and exhaust smoke probsbly not good.
Hi, my UK mechanic replaced both manifold gaskets including getting broken bolts out. He billed me for 32 hours at £1900. Is this excessive?
This is excessive. For them to take 4 days to do the repair seems crazy. Maybe they are a new mechanic, but at most its a two day repair. If you were to buy new manifolds, bolts and gaskets for both sides it would only cost about £300. Labor should be about 8 hours...
@@MechanicLife 6 hours job for a U.S. dealership replacing both sides.
Thanks for making this video
Was there a gasket between the pipe and the manifold when you took the bolts out of the collector area?
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!
Just had mine replaced today by a shop. 2014 big horn 1500. Mine also had two bolts broken same exact as this one. It’s all fixed now. It was making a clicking noise on start up but faded after a few minutes after it warmed up. Now the clicking noise is all gone.
How much did the shop charge you?
@@brghostsniper I bought the parts myself. For around $170 ish. And just paid them labor of $350.
@@brghostsniper ahh but for the 2hrs extra to remove the bolts. It was around $260 something.
did it give u a misfire code???
@@brentchavez8865 Surprisingly no. Just a real loud knocking noise that faded it after it warmed up
I didn’t see if you had a gasket at the collector/y-pipe. I took one off my stock manifolds and I installed headers but they didn’t come with a donut gasket like I took off. And I can’t seem to find it in the ram oem parts catalog.
I bought one from Autozone.
@@MechanicLife do you have the part number or did you just ask them
Just asked them and they matched it. If you have the old one take it in with you.
Do these fit the 2014 ? Both the manifold and bolts? Or do I have to get both from the dealership?
I am not sure if they do. Maybe worth a call to the dealership and see if they provide the same model number for the headers and bolts for each year.
I have the ticking on the passenger side. Mechanic said gasket needed to be replaced. Is the head most likely warped and should be replaced along with gasket? Could it be only the gasket? How long did each side take? Great video BTW!
The passenger side was really easy to do. Everything is easily accessible and tons of room. Should take about an hour. The drivers side was more complex. It took me about 3 hours. (Welding ate up a bunch of that time. I was having issues with getting the weld to take to the stud. I would be that the manifold is warped as well. How many miles do you have on it? The gaskets are pretty tough and should last a loooonnnnggg time before failure if the studs are in tact and torqued down.
I have a 2016. The dealership just replaced one of the bolts... Which stopped the ticking, however it still doesnt sound right and its definitely coming from that same area. Wondering if the whole thong needs to be replaced...
48k miles
What do you replace them with so they don't break again
I replaced them with new manifolds and bolts. On that HEMI engine though they will probably break again in a few years.
Having same issue, is this an annoyance thing or could it harm the truck if not fixed right away?
No, it probably wont hurt the truck if not fixed right away. Like you said...its just annoying.
@@MechanicLife I might have to get to it this weekend, mine is the drivers side and the bolt that holds the top part of the oil dipstick has now came loose from the heat shield.
@@AndreC1992 Good luck. It sounds like that bolt may be one of the busted ones and the head is still stuck to the dipstick.
@@MechanicLife I took everything out and saw there’s two broken bolts, and they’re stuck deep in the head. I don’t see how I’ll be able to get them out , can’t fit a drill to extract it out! Barely could fit my hands to remove the exhaust manifold and gasket.
Did you see my process for welding them out? Sounds like that may be your best bet. Sorry to hear about the double break...that frustrating for sure.
I'm doing this tomorrow on my 08 got welder ready
Great video 📹 👍
Thanks!
Hemi tick is the camshaft
True, but the tick most people hear on these rigs is a shot header which also generates a loud tick and is fixed by replacing the warped header.
Hey great video I have the same problem
I purchased a new gasket but i cannot find the studs and bolts anywhere where did you get them?
Got them at Autozone and another set set at Orilleys. The folks at the counted had a hell of a time locating them. They are labeled weird in their system. Here is the link
www.autozone.com/collision-body-parts-and-hardware/exhaust-manifold-bolt-spring/dorman-exhaust-manifold-bolt-spring/614801_0_32081
Lukes Garage did you purchase the other two silver bolts or do they come with the dorman bolts? Thanks
The two silver bolts came with the exhaust manifold. The studs were sold separately.
Montana Made oh ok thanks im just changing the bolts not the manifold do i still have to buy them or use the ones come with the dormans set.
When I bought the stud set it only came with the 8 studs. Did you get additional bolts? The manifold came with two larger bolts for the connection at the collector end to the down pipe.
Did you have to get a new gasket where the collector and exhaust manifold join?
Yes, I prefer to put in a new one, they're cheap.
@@MechanicLife I couldn't find a gasket for mine... Eventually I used high temp JB weld. But where did you find a gasket that would work? My bolts weren't broken. I had to buy an aftermarket catalytic converter y pipe and everything. The cat was stopped up. But upon installation the flanges at the collectors kept leaking. I tried using foil. That didn't work, I tried finding different donut gaskets, I never found one that would work. Eventually I used to the JB weld. 3 months now and it's still holding
Well...the next issue I'm running into is the stock bolts are to long for aftermarket headers? Ever seen this issue before? The thickness with the mounting face of stock headers and aftermarket(DNA CHEAP ONES) are significantly different guessing about .5-.75 of inch difference....my idea is either grinding the bolts down or using washers? Whats your thoughts?
I would stay away from using washers. If you have a specialty bolt shop go to them first and see if they have what you need. Then i would take your current bolt to Auto Zone and see if they have what you need in a shorter bolt.
You can grind them down, but I would be concerned about the exactness and consistency grinding all your bolts down and then being sure about how much you actually need to take them down to make sure you are not bottoming them out into the block. If you go the grinding route make sure to put a screw driver into the hole to see how deep it is and mark the screw driver with a sharpie when its all the way inserted. That way when you pull it out you know how deep the hole is. Hope this helps
where did you got it the replacement parts
I bought them all at Autozone
Thank you.
Nice video... how long did this job take u from start to finish?
The passenger side was about 1 hour. The drivers side was about 2.
Thanks.. I have to do it.. but i dont weld... do u think shorty headers is the fix?
I think they have a great chance of fixing the problem.
How long did this repair last you?
The drivers side took 1.5 hours. The passenger side took 30 minutes.
What did you ground too when welding the nut to the stud
I ground to the frame of the truck. Disconnected the battery!
The star lesson too❓
What year is this?
Mine broke on the bolt on the bottom left(front of truck) behind the steering column. I don’t know how I’m going to get that out lol
You have any luck with this one!!?? Beastly spot for sure.
Great video..... Quick question I got the tick couple days ago but I'm noticing white smoke come out exhaust will this go away after replacing?
How much white smoke do you have coming out of your exhaust? It could just be steam from condensate. Otherwise I would check your coolant level. Typically if you have lots of white smoke its a coolant related issue.
Lukes Garage thanks for the reply after looking more into it it was just condensation. Any chance you have the links to where you purchased your parts want to get this fixed ASAP tick is driving me crazy
Here are the bolts.
www.autozone.com/collision-body-parts-and-hardware/exhaust-manifold-bolt-spring/dorman-exhaust-manifold-bolt-spring/697629_0_32081
Here is the manifold. Confirm Year and proper side!

I lucked out mines a 2014 and can't find the bolts. Also the only broken bold broke pretty deep inside the engine block and I do not have a way to get it out.
Do you already have the manifold off the truck?
Great video my friend!!! I have a question !! Where did you get you new manifolds brand, price, any brand quality or preference?
Thanks! I bought them from Autozone. I think that they were $80 each and the bolt set per side was $35. They will have this same problem again unfortunetly. You can also buy aftermarket headers that wont warp as bad as the stock cast iron ones.
Lukes Garage awesome my friend!!! I have a 2014 but the issues are all the same for years lol!! Thank you I’ll try see hopefully I get her done!!
Did you put anti seize on your bolts
Was that an OEM manifold?
Yes
What brand is the new manifold? Thanks
Its a Dorman brand and the stud set is Dorman as well. Both purchased at Autozone.
Maybe I'm just being to cautious due to the fact I had 5 broken bolts total and took me so long to retract them...I will obviously take your advice, perhaps I just need to run a tap through the holes to clean them...we shall see tomorrow
I'd like to install shorty headers when I do this to my ram but they are so costly.
RIght! But they would be awesome.
@@MechanicLife yeah. I may pull the trigger. Hard to say. It's cold outside hahaha
Right! Winter has come... ;)
Have the Dorman manifolds held up well? Would you have been better with the Mopar ones? 🇨🇦
They have held up really well so far.
@@MechanicLife Right on. I figure if it’s gonna happen again -like everyone says it will, why spend on the mopar ones. 👍🏼
Will felpro gaskets work with the dorman manifolds?
Yes
Would a leaking exhaust manifold cause a rough idle?
Tick tick but it’ll go away after a minute that’s how you know it’s leaking
Where did you order your parts from
I got them at Autozone
Will headers fix this issue ?
Wondering this too, is it better to just do headers while in there?
Yes
any chance I can put back on the stock headers with new bolts and new gasket?
The surface is warps on them and pops the heads of the studs off. It wont work.
@@MechanicLife Crap. Where can I get some cheap one's
I know right. The cheapest are buying replacement ones at autozone. They are about 80 each and the bolt set is about 35 each side.
Where did you buy your manifolds and what brand?
I bought them at Autozone. They were Dorman brand.
Hey dont know how old this video is just got a 2019 1500 and I'm asking how many miles you had when this was needed
Also I know I'm being skeptical first time owning a dodge my dad loves em but I know some things about em I'm a diesel mechanic but I'm looking up things I need or can do to make this truck run at its finest for as long as I can
The truck had about 40k on it when I replaced both sides. It was in Montana and saw -30 all the way up to 105 on a yearly basis though. Lots of swings in temperature!
It was my first Dodge coming off of Chevy's...will never go back. Comfortable truck for sure. In LA now and am looking to buy another one.
If you drive the vehicle for 30 minutes, it will heat up the manifold and hardware as well as the holds, making them easier to break free from the corrosion 😉
I would love to send a couple pics and get your feedback on how to proceed...
Please do Chad. Montanaluke01@gmail.com
Actually I got it with one mishap, so I had to re drill and re tap one hole...but I will say this job is not for the weak...and shame an dodge for not recalling this with millions having the same issue...now I'm putting on long headers and hopefully be done tomorrow
Wouldn’t it be better to mill the warpage out of the old manifold? Seems like the new one will do the same after several heat cycles? Great video thanks.
That would work as well.
How long have they been making cars Amasing totally amazing
Buy a Toyota
Hello I just change my driver side manifold yesterday it works great but today my engine light came on any idea why
It was harder than the passenger side believe me 🥵
Got the engine light off I unplugged the negative on my battery and it work
Wouldn’t be a bad idea to have a local machine shop make you you hardened heat treated bolts
The famous Hemi tick is camshaft failure not exhaust leak from broken manifold bolt that’s why it’s famous because your engine is toast if you have it
This is inaccurate.
@@derylcoe1550 No it’s not the reason why it’s famous is because a lot of people had a engine failure that resulted in a class action lawsuit
Great video. Where did you get your parts?
Thanks! I got all my parts from Autozone.
