The exhaust manifold gasket on the passenger side finally blew out at the port closest to the front of the truck. I need to replace the entire gasket but also would like to replace the bolts/studs at the same time.
The front two fasteners came out before I bought the truck and I replaced them with some grade 8 hardware from Home Depot. Helped for a little while but they would still loosen up over time. I could go that route or find the correct Dorman kit.
Could someone please post up the part number for the studs/bolts please.
edit: Looks like I may just use some grade 8 3/8-16 x 1" bolts from Home Depot again. I dont think Dorman makes a kit for these trucks.
