Sorry new on here and I'm sure this has been asked a million times already.
My 2019 5.7L Ram has develop a exhaust leak on the drivers side.
My 2014 started doing the same thing but it was lease and I just turned it in without doing anything about it.
My question is what is Ram doing about this issue?
Thanks

Probly nothing! Put a set of shorty headers on it and call it good. Dodge exhaust hardware is ****. I did headers I'll never go back.

RAM is doing nothing but having the dealer repair those 5.7 and 6.4 that develop the exhaust leak. They have not "yet" addressed the cause.

They are fixing them under warranty for now.

But not changing engineering to rectify the issue. I Beleive ARP makes a set of bolts for the stock manifolds. Seen an upgrade set somewhere.

No, not yet. It takes some time to trend failures, investigate root cause and come up with a fix.

The OP didn't mention if it was at the manifold, in the downpipe, at the flange or further down the exhaust path.

If it is the manifold bolts on his truck then I agree...they are wayyy past having time to figure this out.

It's not just FCA that has manifold problems,GM and Ford also have issues with bolts breaking.It was common for the old FE Fords to break manifolds way back in the 60's/70's,so this issue is not new.
