ex. manifold - warranty?

[DavidD]

I just replaced my lift pump today and discovered on an inspection that my ex. manifold is cracked big time between the 3-4 cyl. the middle piece between that is bolted to the turbo housing. I am wondering if this would be under warranty or a recall? I have just turned 110,000mi but I beleive its been cracked for 8-10 months which would make it under warranty. Any thoughts or suggestions as I am giong to the dealer in the AM. I have a pretty good dealer so I am hoping to get it fixed.



If I cant hasd anyone used the ATS( Adanced Turbo Systems) three piece header? It looks pretty cool! Thanks Dave

Your manifold is covered on your engine warranty and it is very common for them to crack.

You are S.O.L. if you have 110,000mi on your truck...

The stock manifold is an absolute P. O. S. ! Mine was cracked when I bought my truck... I was dumb enough to put another stock manifold on as a replacement. You definitely can't go wrong by getting the ATS. I wish I did! IMHO, the our exhaust manifolds fall right in line with the lift pumps: They are garbage! I wish DC would wake up! #@$%!

Shouldn't be a problem with a good dealer and no records of visits after the warranty period.

If he takes care of you, take care of him!

I got one no problem on warranty but the ATS is a lot better set up.

Give Piers a call if you go shopping.

Thanks for the replies. i am torn between the stock one even if they offer it to me on warranty. I dont want to be replacing it again and I plan on selling the truck to my son so dont want to give him problems. I might just spring for the ATS system it looks pretty cool just like the big Cummins I understand. Thanks again, Dave

DEZLPWR, The exhaust man. is cumminsproduct, not DC's. I changed mine to the ATS at 150K, just for preventive maint. , its not cracked. Have 2 neighbors with 95 and 96 with over 200K on both, and have their original, with no cracks.

I replaced mine at 100k or so. Would have done it sooner if I knew what a difference in performance and exhaust temps. Way worth the $$$$.
