2017 Ram 2500 4x4 6.4 hemi drivers exhaust manifold

[Ryan Poulos]

I bought a 2017 Ram 2500 4x4 6.4 hemi with a ton of miles on it. Drivers exhaust manifold was cracked. Need to replace. Is this a good place to buy one? Any other suggestions? Is there also a good bolt/stud kit for re-install? So far I only found the manifold and gasket. And are 5.7 and 6.4 parts the same?

You might try looking up the prices for those parts on BAM Wholesale Parts. I'm seeing slightly lower prices for those parts. But for me it would be all about shipping costs. Some Mopar parts websites soak you on shipping. BAM seems pretty fair for the most part.

Well after all that I got under the truck to eyeball what I thought was a crack. Its just a casting line, bot a crack. The exhaust leak is where the exhaust pipe connects to the exhaust manifold. It lines up perfect. I unbolted and bolted it and I can steal feel the puffing of the leak. I took ir loose again and sanded, cleaned, and added a small coating of permatex copper sealant. I hate using sealant but wasnt sure what else to do. Any advise????

Well I tried dropping exhaust. Cleaning up flage surfaces. Applied permatex copper. Put back. Today its a lighter tick and I feel less but its there.

As a wrap up to this I toon it into a repair shop. Not an exhaust shop. They told me to take it to an exhaust shop as it needed a new flange app n the pipe. They think that will cure it. Im going in at 8am tomorrow to see if that works.
