Dam manifold leak

[kcirtap]

Heard it the other day just alittle, been worst past few days on start up. Really notice it when u get move and are giving trottle. Figured i would take a look and low and behold a busted bolt. It was actually laying on my parking space floor. Got an appointment monday to get it checked out. Truck still under powertrain warranty till may or 100000km, only at 87000km. .

If you are that close to warranty, I would try to see if they will replace both sides.

Thats alot of rust on that stud. My '04 studs arent' rusted like that.

Wth all the leaks on the gen2. Ford must have used some inferior hardware.

Actually drivers side was replaced June 2011. They should have just done both sides at that time. Just happy that it broke before warranty ended, which actually ends may 11th...

I am very glad that I read these posts a year ago - When I changed heads, I actually threw the factory bolts away - replaced them with stage8 with under 1000 miles - Thanks to the guys here!
