Consumer Description

The exhaust manifold bolts have broken three times on my 2019 Ram 1500, LImited, 5.7L causing the O2 sensor to apparently trim the fuel out differently than when it does not leak, likely causing the truck to operate outside of the emission requirement. This has been an issue for many years for all owners, some dealers provide warranty repair and other do not. The diesel engine option for this same truck has a recall on the exhaust manifold, but not the gas engine. Please read the forums about this problem to see that nearly all of these trucks have this problem, causing a significant concern with "legal" emissions.
