About This Product

Experience unparalleled performance and durability with our enhanced Dodge/RAM truck exhaust manifolds, specifically designed for 5.7L HEMI engines. Our BD upgraded manifolds address common exhaust manifold bolt failures by incorporating extended fasteners and spacers that effectively withstand thermal expansion. In addition, we've engineered independent mounting locations for the heat shield, separating it from the mounting bolts to further enhance reliability. Crafted with precision, our BD Manifolds boast a robust, thicker design, and are constructed from high-silicon ductile iron to combat warping, ensuring your vehicle remains at peak performance for the long haul.

Why does my 5.7L HEMI have an exhaust tick and will this kit fix it?

Yes, this exhaust manifold kit is designed to permanently fix the exhaust leak that causes the common HEMI "tick". The noise is a result of broken manifold bolts and a warped factory manifold, which this kit directly addresses. — 5.7L HEMI engines are known for a design flaw where intense thermal cycling causes the original factory bolts to stretch, fatigue, and eventually break. Once a bolt fails, the manifold is no longer held tightly against the cylinder head, allowing it to warp from the heat. This creates a small gap that lets exhaust gases escape, causing the distinct ticking sound you hear, which is especially noticeable on a cold start. Our kit solves this by replacing the manifold with a thicker, high-silicon ductile iron casting that resists warping, and by including longer bolts with spacers that are specifically engineered to withstand thermal expansion without failing.

What is the difference between this BD manifold and a new stock one?

The BD Diesel manifold is a significant engineering upgrade designed to prevent the failures common to the stock design. It is made from a stronger, more stable material and uses a revised fastening system to ensure durability. — While a new OEM manifold might fix the problem temporarily, it doesn't address the root cause and is likely to fail again. The BD manifold upgrade is different in several key ways: — • Material: It's cast from high-silicon ductile iron, which is far more resistant to warping and cracking from extreme heat cycles than the standard factory material. • Construction: The manifold features thicker, more uniform walls which adds strength and helps dissipate heat more effectively. • Fastening System: The kit includes longer fasteners and spacers that are designed to absorb thermal expansion, preventing the bolts from stretching and breaking. • Heat Shield Mounts: The mounting locations for the heat shield are separated from the main manifold bolts, increasing reliability and making service easier.

What comes in the box for part number 1041465?

Part number 1041465 is a complete kit for the driver's side (left side) of the engine. It includes the exhaust manifold, a new gasket, and all the necessary specialty hardware for installation. — The kit provides everything you need to replace a failed driver's side manifold. You will receive one high-silicon ductile iron manifold, a new manifold-to-cylinder head gasket, and a full set of BD's upgraded fasteners. This hardware is a key part of the solution, containing longer bolts and matching spacers designed to prevent the common bolt failure that plagues 5.7L HEMI engines. For a complete job, the passenger side manifold is available as part #1041464, and a kit with both manifolds is available as #1041463.

How difficult is this to install and how long should it take?

The estimated installation time is approximately 4.5 hours for an experienced technician. The main difficulty is typically the removal of broken factory bolts, which may require specialized tools. — While the installation is a direct replacement with no custom modification needed, the condition of your existing hardware will determine the real-world time commitment. Be prepared for the possibility of broken bolts being seized in the cylinder head, which may require extraction tools, drilling, and tapping. The kit itself, part #1041465, is comprehensive and includes all new fasteners, gaskets, and spacers needed for the driver's side. The BD manifold also features an engineered independent heat shield mounting location, which simplifies that part of the reassembly process compared to the original design.

Will this manifold fit my 2023 Ram 1500 5.7L?

This kit fits a very wide range of vehicles, including the 2009-2024 Ram 1500 DS/DT. It is also specified to fit 2009-2018 Ram 2500/3500 trucks and 2011-2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee models with the 5.7L HEMI engine. — The compatibility for this manifold is extensive, but it's important to check the details. For Ram 1500 models from 2019-2022, the fitment is specified for the "Classic" body style only. Beyond the Ram trucks, this driver-side manifold also fits the Dodge Durango from 2011-2026 and the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Wagoneer from 2011-2023. Given the various model sub-generations, always confirm the part number against your specific vehicle year, make, and model before ordering to ensure correct fitment.

Do I need to replace both exhaust manifolds at once?

No, you are not required to replace both sides at the same time. This kit, part number 1041465, allows you to replace only the driver's side manifold if that is the only one that has failed. — BD Diesel offers flexible options to meet your specific repair needs. However, since the factory manifolds on both sides of the engine are identical and subjected to the same conditions, it's very common for one side to fail shortly after the other. For a complete and lasting repair that you only have to do once, it is often recommended to replace both manifolds simultaneously. BD offers the passenger side as kit #1041464, or you can purchase a comprehensive kit with both left and right manifolds together, part #1041463.
