Problem Reports

i just started haveing this problem it should be repaired by a dodge dealer not me because it seems to be a commom problem from the car maker why do you pass this problem on to the customer when you should put out a recall order and fix your self you already know it a problem

making a tappin sound when i press on the gas

Started as a ticking noise, but just during acceleration. Local dealer replaced broken bolts on passenger side and replaced gasket. $450 total, with majority for labor. Sound is gone and 5.7 engine runs great.

My Truck current on all maintance. Out of no where the driver sider front two bolts just snaped off

When I first heard the noise, I thought it was the exhaust manifold gasket only. Upon doing a little research, I learned that the 4.7 has a very bad design for its exhaust manifold. So, early on sat morning, I went to the local Dodge dealer and purchased a complete set of new bolts and a gasket which ran me $37.20 for everything. There are 2 short and 2 long outside manifold bolts wich also serve as the heat sheild bolts, the 2 long bolts go towards the rear of the manifold, 4 inside bolts, all the same size for the center of the manifold, 2 manifold flange nuts and bolts and 4 heat sheild bolts. Both rear bolts and one front bolt were broken. Front one I had enough to extract with a pair of vice grips. The rear bolts had to be drilled and taken out with a bolt extractor. Easy enough to remove wheel well for access instead of trying to go in from the top. Total job took about 5 hours but I was not about to pay Dodge between $500.00 and $700.00 to fix this well known problem.
