Hey gang..
My step-son has a '09 Ram 1500 with a 5.7. It has developed a passenger side exhaust manifold leak.. Being the old fart I am, I haven't had the need to mess with anything like this on my '06 5.7 Durango... Sooooooooo, I guess I will now.. How hard IS IT to change it out? It looks pretty straight forward from underneath....

Thanks for any stories/experience up front...

Cheers,
Troy

That's what I said Chris.. He lives with his Dad, so I didn't know the mileage he was racking up.... But, he's 9000 miles over...   :o

I thought 09 Dodge products had the lifetime powertrain warranty.  Wouldn't that cover an engine problem?
