Consumer Description

I HAVE 2002 FORD F250 WITH A 5.4L TRITON ENGINE. THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD STUDS ARE RUSTING AND BREAKING OFF. I HAVE CONTACTED MY DEALER AND HAVE BEEN TOLD IT IS COMMON PROBLEM. THIS IS AN $850 TO $1000 FIX. I AM AFRAID THAT THE EXHAUST GASES MAY START SOMETHING BURNING IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND THAT THE LEAKING EXHAUST IS NOT BEING CLEANED BY THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. IF THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM, WHY ISN'T THERE A RECALL? THE REPLACEMENT STUDS ARE STAINLESS STEEL AND ARE BIGGER SO FORD MUST KNOW OF THIS PROBLEM. *TR
