Both manifolds cracked, dealer has no date when they will come in.

I have Mopar extended warranty through next year so it's supposed to be covered. I've been waiting three months now on replacement. Meantime my truck sounds as if someone stole my catalytic converter. What is my recourse? Can I get aftermarket parts and have warranty cover them?

I'm in the same boat as you. Third repair for this issue. I'm out of my Mopar extended warranty but the issue was reported prior to expiration. I've been waiting 6 months. I decided today to fix it myself. I'm sure there is no way that I'll get repaid for this but I will at least ask.

I went with the aftermarket BD Diesel kit, p/n 1041467, which is the full kit, both sides. They offer each side individually as well.

Ram/Stellantis/whomever is thousands of kits backordered for this very common problem. It is not at all clear when you can expect your parts to arrive. I'm wishing you the best if you decide to stick it out and wait for the warranty parts and service. I just can't deal with the truck sounding so terrible every time I start it!

did you try ram cares?

Parts are available. I'd be asking more questions your dealer about the delay

Yeah, I had both of mine replaced under emissions warranty last month at my local dealership

No they are not, supplier change and no parts at depots. Only 500 RH manifolds total in stock in dealerships. Dealerships are not selling. Many LH manifolds available about 3800 in dealerships.

So parts ARE available, and you supported that. Dealers not willing to work with other dealers doesn't mean there aren't parts available

Why would a dealer sell a part that can't be ordered from the manufacturer? JFC you are arguing just to argue. THE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE TO ORDER FROM THE MANUFACTURER, NONE IN STOCK AT DEPOTS. Do you understand that? Dealers are correct on saying they are on back order with no ETA.

Says there are none available, proceeds to give inventory numbers of available parts. Seems the one arguing just to argue

I did not give you a number of parts available, you are an ASSuming they are available. I gave you numbers of parts in the dealer network. THERE ARE ZERO PARTS AVAILABLE IN THE DEPOTS.

Just did my right side, no problem getting the mopar kit.

BD kit has arrived. I'm not looking forward to the broken stud extraction but I am really excited to not have it sound like a go-kart when I start it!

I have loved driving my 1500 but as soon as I get these issues fixed, I'm out.

It just feels risky to own a fancy American truck out of warranty. Rear diff went out (progressive whine as speed increases) as my warranty expired, as did my entire Uconnect. I had to track down replacement boards and swap them out of the radio module to stop my screen from cycling off every 3 minutes and 25 seconds. GPS went out with that same issue.

$960 for an awesome shop (Colorado Axle & Gear) in Denver to replace the pinion bearing in the differential. Leaking radiator and driver's side valve cover. Endless Uconnect issues over the years. And a bunch of little things that seem like par for the course with how loaded these kinds of trucks are.

I don't regret the purchase at all - it's been such a great, useful vehicle for my family. I just don't want to be the one writing the check for the next expensive repair.

Should have just sold it with the exhaust leak. No going to effect value any

 

[fenix501]

Yeah, I can see where you are coming from. I'm going to sell it myself, not trade it in so I always try to have the vehicle as nice as it can be. I'm not sure how long it will take for me to find a replacement vehicle so I might be driving it for another month or two. I'm comfortable with spending that cash on the BD parts to make my experience better while driving it from now to sale.

I usually overshare about issues with my trucks when I sell them so this just eliminates one of the bigger ones.
