Consumer Description

THE PASSENGER SIDE EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS ARE BREAKING. IT IS HAPPENING TO MANY RAM TRUCK OWNERS AND TO SOME PEOPLE IT IS HAPPENING MORE THAN 3 TIMES. SO WHEN YOU START YOUR VERY EXPENSIVE TRUCK IT MAKES AN AWFUL LOUD TICKING NOISE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF ENGINE DUE TO EXHAUST BOLTS BEING BROKEN ON THE MANIFOLD AND HOT EXHAUST LEAKING OUT. THIS NOISE USUALLY HAPPENS WITH THE FIRST START OF THE DAY. BUT AS MORE BOLTS CONTINUE TO BREAK THE NOISE IS THERE MORE AND MORE.
