ED exhaust leak

[Cpap]

Hello fellow Eco diesel owners. I am new to the forum. My truck has 7700 miles on it and is in the dealership waiting on a new flex coupling for the exhaust. We had an exhaust smell in the truck for a while and the dealership confirmed it is a leak under the hood. Evidently there is a service bulletin on this and there are no parts available so I am in a rental until they find a part. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

Nothing yet and I'm at 6000 miles. Have had 2 CEL's though.

I do not find a service bulletin. Do you know what the number is? Currently 20k on the one I'm driving and no leaks.

I don't have the number but I will ask. How are you searching the service bulletins? I hope they aren't blowing smoke up my...

Do they really have to lift the body on these to get at things???

The diesel tech states in the end of his write up, just prior to the pictures, that the cab does not have to be removed to change these components. This was done, from what I gather, at the request of Chrysler for informational purposes during the diagnoses.
