| Took in to have shocks checked and mechanic found exhaust manifold to be cracked over 3/4 of the way around betwee the middle two exhaust ports. my brother in-law suspected a leak as i was putting boat away over one year and 25000 miles ago. i do not ever remember the truck sounding any different and the manifold is under a heat shield so i never spotted the crack. i have always smelled exhaust but thought it was comming from other vehicles. i frequently make long trips in the truck and have had to fight to stay awake that i now know may have been due to carbon monoxide poisoning. i had the exhaust manifold replaced by my dealer who probably has saved me from further harm or even death. they would not replace the manifold under warranty. i have to wonder why they had a replacement manifold in stock if this is not a common occurance. i kept the manifold and will send it wherever you want if you would like to examine it to determine what caused the crack. i am an engineer and suspect that an approximately one inch manufactured hole in the heat shield allowed water to hit the manifold and thermal shock caused what appears to be a cast iron manifold to crack where it did. one more inch of cracking and the manifold would have broken in two.*ak | |||
