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 engine cooling has a bad design for the exhaust manifolds so 2 bolts on each side broke off in the engine block and now there is large exhaust leaks on both sides of the engine. This is the most common defect I have seen by talking to people and on any forum and am very surprised this isn't a recall already.

Exhaust manifold stud/bolt failure causing exhaust leak and ticking noise. Passenger side.

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.

Typical bolts sheared off inside the block and an exhaust manifold leak causing a tick. This the 2nd Dodge ram that I have owned. Both have had the exact same problem (my previous truck had I twice(!) while I owned it). If you look at any number of online forums you will see that I am about the millionth person that has had this same problem happen. Literally every single one of these has this problem. Apparently Dodge has released a statement (though I can not confirm) stating that the combination at the exhaust manifold of cast iron, aluminum, and weak bolts makes this happen over & over again. This should be a recall and Dodge should have to fix this.

My truck only has 90,ooo + miles on it has never been off road I'm the original owner on this truck has never been abused ever, and know this happens please look into this exhaust leaking problem. Why would this happen,I've never experienced this kind of problem before, me and my wife are really concerned about exhaust fumes know driving around town what should we do.

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.

Exhaust manifold bolts are rusted away. Thinking this could be a emission issue. Did research on it looks like there is alot of issue complaints out there on it.

When slowly accelerating from a stop I could hear a rattling/vibration sound coming from the passenger side of vehicle.
