Manifold/header/muffler/tail Pipe problems of the 2009 Dodge Ram 1500

Exhaust manifold leak. Bolts broke off.

Exhaust manifold bolts broken. Causes ticking on start up. Its bad on your engine and it won't pass emissions. How has an investigation not been done on this?! so many complaints on forums, facebook, even on here. With less then 80k miles this is ridiculous.

The manifold bolts on the 5. 7 hemi break sometimes breaks off in the head and are not easily removed. Thus causing an exhaust leak (aka hemi tick). And my truck only has 77000 miles on it. Bought used so no warranty to cover the repairs.

On my 2009 Dodge Ram 1500 hemi I have broken bolts on my exhaust manifold, something is wrong with my hvac system in my truck also. Both of which I see are very common problems with these trucks.

2009 Dodge Ram 1500 there is a manifold bolt that is inferior/defective part dealership has admitted they know it is. . They are replacing atleast one a week. This bolt can break off and cause the motor to cease. . . Warranty will not replace and this is happening to hundreds of people its in all Dodge forums. . . $400 + to replace this definitely needs to bd a recall only 50,000 miles on truck.

2009 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4 5. 7 hemi, my issue is concerning "the hemi tick" which is actually broken exhaust manifold head bolts. Seems like everybody that has this year model has the exact same problem. I have 2 broke bolts on the passenger side. The bolts happen to be the same bolts holding on the exhaust manifold shield in the rear of the motor. The cost to fix the issue is moderately expensive and if not addressed could easily cause more serious issues. The exhaust leak can be identified by the ticking sound (usually at start up until motor warms up and seals the leak) and should be replaced with stronger bolts that allow for the temperature changes.

Right side manifold leak bolts are broke and need to be replace because of weak bolts used to secure the manifold. This happened when traveling on the highway nearly causing a accident.

Ticking nose from passenger side of truck under the hood near the wheel. Got underneath truck and found two bolts had broken off manifold. After looking on the internet found there are alot of other owners of this same truck with same issue, ram/Dodge needs to fix this problem, I think issue is from to much heat. The sound is at its best when truck is started the first time of the day / cold out.

When slowly accelerating from a stop I could hear a rattling/vibration sound coming from the passenger side of vehicle. This progressively got worse until I found the heat shield on the passenger side exhaust manifold was loose due to broken stud bolts. I did not repair immediately as I thought the break was superficial (outside the manifold). Over the next month a slight exhaust leak could be heard, which has gotten very loud now. There is clearly at least one broken exhaust manifold bolt on passenger side. I am second owner (purchased at 19,000 miles), so lifetime warranty is no longer valid. I fear this leak could cause poisonous carbon monoxide gas to fill the cabin of my truck while driving with my wife and children. With the number of complaints regarding this exact same issue that I have heard, I cannot believe this has not reached recall status.

Exhaust manifold bolts (as now known under Dodge TSB same subject) are defective and of wrong material type as per TSB. Bolts may fail causing exhaust leak at manifold to engine gasket, allowing exhaust fumes to enter the cabin. Noxious fumes in cabin may cause driver to become poisoned over long trip times resulting in loss of consciousness and vehicle control or situational awareness. Failure of bolts also allows release of pre-catalyst exhaust to be discharged into the atmosphere. Contact:[xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S.
