Sorry for another one of these posts, but just want to run this by everyone.
I do have the exhaust manifold flavor of the tick. The dealer at first said it would be a roughly $2k job but luckily I got 7yrs warranty because of the truck being a certified pre-owned....just surprised that didn't show up in their system. So all is covered, just have to pay the $100 deductible.
Anyways, both sides have broken bolts and the dealer is telling me that they will have to remove the heads to extract the broken bolts. I've seen a few YouTubes where the heads stayed on. In a way I don't care since I'm not paying $2k, but out of curiosity, is the dealer trying to milk the warranty? Is it really necessary to pull the heads off?
The only thing I do care about is that everything is put back together correctly and nothing fails 1 day after my warranty expires that is linked to this repair because they didn't do it right.
Honestly it’s possible to do it without removing the head. As it’s aluminum, you can weld a nut to the broken stud and extract.Sorry for another one of these posts, but just want to run this by everyone.
