The EcoBoost generates enough heat to literally affix the studs into the head. They often require drilling out. There’s kits available that are designed specifically for that application. I thought about taking on the job until I dug into it. I don’t need that type of headache. YouTube University.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice. I sold the Dodge to my stepson last fall. He can deal with it. But for work trucks I own 3 Ford 6.2's and 2 of them need manifolds right now.

Last winter was my last as well. I'm wondering what its going to feel like when the snow comes and I don't have to be up at 2am. I'll probably still be up checking radar on TWN.....lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why haven't the manu's dealt with this? Been going on for 20 years or more now. They won't spend the money for cast stainless steel exhaust manifolds and the hardware to go along with it.

Platinum Contributing Member steve from amherst Posted July 8, 2023 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted July 8, 2023 So is it worth pulling these studs every 40 k or so too keep em fresh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shit my Ram has just under 50k on it. Still worth damn near close what I paid for it 3 years ago. Maybe time to flush it, since the warranty is gone. Other than a cooling fan clutch that was warrantied, its been flawless. I don't work it very hard mind you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
