My son has this 2003 Hemi 5.7 2500 with bad exhaust issue
He took it to a shop and they replaced the Y pipe. it ran good for about a week and the pipe broke.
he had it patched with some extra pipe and weld, etc... and it broke again.
what would cause this?
my gut tells me the motor mounts are worn and when the engine torques, it twists the pipe and breaks, but I'm not sure about that.
also, with the broken pipe at the Y, the truck wont stay idle on its own, I need to gas+brake at a stop to keep it running.
He is giving up on it, so I took it in.
I'm looking here for ideas.
Thanks guys'
