Watch your manifolds.

[TX Gooseneck]

I just turned over 144k on my 600. I was overlooking everything and I had exhaust in several areas on the exhaust manifold. It has cracks all over the place. I reordered the stock piece and will have it installed next week.



Just an FYI.

Just come get mine. I installed the ATS manifold and my factory manifold (predrilled for your egt probe) is sitting on my workbench feeling all neglected.

Thanks for the FYI, at 144K I have to ask what kind of brake life you been getting?

My 04 has 100K on the clock... . it pulls a 18-20K lb trailer 80% of the time and we use the pacbrake... . the last time the pads were looked at was at 95K and they were about 30% left..... and its due for another inspection at 110K and somewhere along there we're just going to put on a fresh set of pads and flush the master cyl again. .

Excellent, thanks Jim!

How much are you paying for your stock part?

 

[mberry]

Why replace the stock manifold? Why not get an ATS manifold and never worry about it again? I still have my stock exhaust manifold with around 5K miles on it. Anyone want to make me an offer?

This ATS Manifold, does it work properly with the stock turbo, or do I have to get a different one?

 

[jwilliams3]

ATS manifolds are direct swaps for stock turbos.

Moment of weakness I suppose. I think it's 200 installed.

On my brakes I had them replaced around 120k. The front brakes were ok, but the rear were shot. My 5" exhaust hit my brake line and crushed it. I had to replace the caliper on that side.

Getting ready to put on a 3rd set of tires! So far I have 75k on my Michelins and they haven't hit the wear bar yet.
