I am positive I have a cracked manifold or exhaust leak somewhere near it. I have a appointment Tuesday morning to take it to the dealer. Its for a 2012 ram 1500 hemi with 76,000 miles. Its sounds awful at start up till it gets warm. Then it quiets down. But I can hear it while accelerating even while it's warm. Its soo embarrassing!
Mine is on the drivers side. I've read most people have the leak on the passenger side. I've also read about some people have had the work denied for warranty repair. I think I am still under the power train warranty till 100,000 miles. But I also purchased the lifetime warranty as well. So either way I think I am still covered. I would like to avoid paying the $100 deductible though.
Am I going to get into a argument if they deny warranty work for this (like some people have) if it does turn out to be a issue with the exhaust manifold? Is there anything thing I should expect them to say other than they're fixing it for free?
