I am replacing the right side exhaust manifold on my 2014 ram 1500 5.7 due to the manifold has warped and broke 2 bolts. I ordered all new bolts for the right side. My question is what is the difference between 6509863AA and 6510141AA. The are both double ended studs for the heat shield. What locations do each of those part numbers belong?

BTW, I found out the two bolts that broke were stainless. The rest were steel. Why?

That was me posting there too. I was trying to read up on it and someone posted at another site that the back two exhaust ports get hotter than the rest and it required the use of the stainless bolts in that area. It makes sense to me anyhow. The stainless bolts were twice as much as the steel one.

Those stainless bolts are HARD to drill through once they work harden.
