Has anyone had the exhaust leak? Ticking sound. How did you fix it?

You purchase a exhaust manifold gasket, a exhaust manifold bolt kit - you remove yours, clean the exhaust manifold mating surfaces, and put back together.

Done a few. Last one took an hour on the drivers side. Thankfully the bolt that broke both times, one on passenger side and the one on the driver side broke at the mainfold, not the head. So once I removed the manifold, I was able to get the broken bolt out by just simply twisting it out.

Thanks. Didn't realize this happens on a lot of these trucks
