Aftermarket manifold??

[RedRaider91]

I need the passenger side haha. Unfortunately I can’t find them anywhere. I guess I can order and just wait but with the strikes going on I’m sure no one is makin any

I purchased the latest OEM manifolds and found a few design differences from the ones that came on my 2019.
Time will tell if the changes will improve longevity but I felt that $67 and a couple hours of my time was better than spending $800-$1200.

I ordered from here and got them in less than a month. They are not currently showing as backordered so you may get them sooner.

Here's the changes made to the casting in the areas that typically crack.

The pics you posted have a different part number than the links provided. Can you clarify?

I was eyeballing the BBK Headers as well. Even new, they aren’t that expensive. There are mixed reviews on how well they stay sealed but using specific gaskets seemed to be a very common theme to good results with any header installation. Remflex I believe is the name of the gaskets.

I see the same thing. I had my eye on AFE, but many users have reported broken welds after some time using these.

The links I posted are for the complete kit. The manifold is just one component within the kit.

Quick question for everyone, how dangerous/risky is it to continue driving with a cracked manifold? I don’t think the crack is bad and definitely not a hole yet, but it’s definitely got a crack somewhere. How bad is it to keep driving it while I wait on a part?

I drove mine for the last year or so and I survived.

It can cause exhaust gas to enter the cabin of the leak is bad enough. Also, a prolonged leaks can wear into the cylinder head over time (if the leak is near the head) If this happens, the new manifold maybe still leak.

Anyone know what the actual issue is? Engine is the same, right? Does it hit body or frame somewhere? Something a big friendly hammer would fix? Sawzall?

Most likely has to do with the way the exhaust manifolds exit relative to the difference in the frame rails on the DS vs the DT since they don't share the same frame

@Cbty2050 can maybe help?

I honestly haven't seen much of a difference, they will bolt up but really don't think there is much of a difference. If I recall the ears for the ypipe may be turned different but I doubt that will be an issue.

Well just my luck, once you add them to your cart they’re on back order.

When did it say it was backorder? after you pay?

 

[Cbty2050]

We just had 8 rh and 6 lh manifolds come in today. There are many dealers with stock if they will sell them. Unfortunately the ones we had come in are for customers

Do you know when the new AB part is being added to new built trucks? More specifically is it on the 2024's?

I would imagine, as soon as there is a new design, they run them on the line. But that only makes sense, so no guarantee. Engines aren't built very long before they are used. Only way to tell, is look at them when the truck comes in.

I ordered the AB kit from All Mopar parts on the 8th (two days ago) it arrived today.
$65.67 plus shipping.

My manifold seems fine, has at least two broken bolts tho.

Only manifolds that crack are the ones with the tie bars.

WHAT!
Well, I have to remove it to extract the bolts, need the gasket but the new bolts are too long without using the straps, what to do...

edit: giving a go with the kit, will see how it holds up.

And without it the bolts break

Yup, its cheaper to buy the updated by far.
