Another 2002 2500 question - on the passenger side - I have 4 broken bolts on the exhaust manifold. On the driver's side, 1 so far. The local shop I work with mentioned this is common ... something about hot/cold stress on the bolts.
I'm not leaking exhaust ... "yet". But the prices quoted to drill out/fix are extremely high. High enough that I'm considering just swapping to Raylar performance kit (new aluminum heads/camshaft). Does anyone have any experience with them on their 2500 ? Assuming I go the Raylar route - I'd probably shed additional weight with a set of headers, and replace the entire exhaust system (looks like only Magnaflow is available now).
Bottom line is I'm not sure which way to go with this yet, but do recognize i have a looming problem ...
Thoughts / advise from those who have been there before ? Thanks !
