06 Exhaust Manifold Seals

[Tinman]

I finally got around to installing the pyro probe on the 06 yesterday. Being the prefectionist I am, I took off the manifold and turbo. Now I need gaskets. The turbo seal had the part number stamped on it but the exhaust manifold gaskets didn't. Does anyone know the part number so I can get it straight from Cummnins and skip the Dodge price marked-up .

any good Cummins parts store should be able to get it for you ,that's their job tell them it's for an ISB they'll know.

If you are still looking, let me know. There is a Cummins west about 7 or 8 miles from my shop. I just sold the rest of my stock, or I'd have them here. you can blame SacCowboy for that one!! :-laf





Call me for fastest responce.

Thanks guys. The local Cummins dealer didn't have any in stock so they are searching around. What's the deal with the manifold gasket stack. When the manifold broke loose, gaskets went everywhere. Are there 3 per cylinder, or some other order? Why do some have little tabs on the outside edge.

 

[jwilliams3]

Yeah they are multi-layer to aid with sealing.

The tabs are there so you can see if they are installed correctly.

Can't you re-use the gaskets?

 

[jwilliams3]

Why yes you can.

 

[Diesel Nut]

Can't you re-use the gaskets?

Yeah - if you can find them! :-laf I know every set I have take apart they go all over the place. Spend 15 miuntes trying to get them all off the floor and in the garbage.

Are they the same as the gaskets on an 04? Which way are they supposed to go on?

 

[SNoyes]

No they are not the same as the 04. I just ran into this very situation, not because I wanted to be a perfectionist but because the tap shattered while trying to tap out the hole for the pyro. So pulled everything off, had to take the manifold to a machine shop to fix my little issue. Awesome. . So I ran into this gasket issue. Called everywhere, no one has them. Looked at the gaskets really closely, there are four "pieces" per cylinder. I asked for a different model year, the 04 is a single gasket. I guess, and can stand corrected if someone else knows, the single gasket was wearing out, and the multi level one we have handles the changes in heat between the dis-simular (check spelling on that one). metals better... And cost is way different, the 06 are like $8. 00 a pop and the 04 are $13. 00 a pop. But needless to say it has been an experience, quite possibly the longest, most expensive pyro install ever. Can't even sleep seeing my truck sitting there torn to pieces awaiting parts which may be here in a week or so. Thinking about putting the original gaskets back on... Anyone, ideas?
