BD Diesel Pulse Manifold

[EvoRick2012]

I recently bought a Tater Built 62/65 Towmaster and am about to install it. Along with the turbo I bought a BD pulse manifold (factory turbo location). The trucks 11yrs old now and I'm deciding to either get studs or replace the factory manifold bolts. The instruction say re-use the old ones, and they are in good shape but I'm wondering what others have done? I was a truck mechanic for 20yrs but not diesel pickups so I'm capable but curious. Very respectfully, Rick.

I have never had any problems reusing the bolts on any 3rd gens.I do live in a none rust belt area

I did the exact same setup in my '07 in January and reused the bolts. No issues yet and put around 12k miles on it so far.
