V6 Exhaust manifold bolts

rocko · Mar 30, 2023

I have a 2021 ram 1500 with the V6...are these engines prone to breaking manifold bolts the same as the hemi? I currently have a tick coming from the engine bay with only 106000km on it. I sure hope it's not the same cam tick that the hemi is known for. Both my 2012 and 2015 hemi wore out the cam hence the reason why I went with the V6 this time but I'm almost regretting it now.

It could be a broken rocker arm or lifter issue, but these problem aren't common on pentastar powered Ram 1500s, or you don't hear of it often at least. They've been putting them in the 1500s for 10yrs now.

In terms of exhaust manifold bolts, there are no exhaust manifolds on pentastars. The catalytic converter assemblies bolt right to the cylinder heads with 4 bolts. I've never heard of these bolts breaking.
