ENGINE | 9/22/2018 - COLORADO SPRINGS, CO
TYPICAL BOLTS SHEARED OFF INSIDE THE BLOCK AND AN EXHAUST MANIFOLD LEAK CAUSING A TICK. THIS THE 2ND DODGE RAM THAT I HAVE OWNED. BOTH HAVE HAD THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM (MY PREVIOUS TRUCK HAD I TWICE(!) WHILE I OWNED IT). IF YOU LOOK AT ANY NUMBER OF ONLINE FORUMS YOU WILL SEE THAT I AM ABOUT THE MILLIONTH PERSON THAT HAS HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM HAPPEN. LITERALLY EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THESE HAS THIS PROBLEM. APPARENTLY DODGE HAS RELEASED A STATEMENT (THOUGH I CAN NOT CONFIRM) STATING THAT THE COMBINATION AT THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD OF CAST IRON, ALUMINUM, AND WEAK BOLTS MAKES THIS HAPPEN OVER & OVER AGAIN. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL AND DODGE SHOULD HAVE TO FIX THIS.
