When my 2009 Dodge Ram 5.7L Exhaust Manifold bolts broke on the passenger side
The dealership had several Rams with the same issue, Ram corporation was limited the parts per month per dealership.

So my dealership just called ABABA Bolt & told them to send over a case of
# 8 Grade bolts that would fit

Fastenal was not in my town back then

My 2019 is doing this, I believe it's a cracked manifold. under warranty still with 72k miles. Just....manifolds are on backorder and I can't afford long tubes and a PCM/Tuner right now.

Bolts aren't the issue, the manifolds are. Plenty of us running around with cheap bolts that came with headers and aren't having problems.

Is your truck a 4th or 5th gen ,4th gens can usually get away with resurfacing the manifold and new bolts with Remflex 6022 gaskets,5th gen's do have a habit of cracking the manifolds though.
