2010 Dodge RAM 1500: engine knocking or ticking

Filed May 20, 2021 · Engine · MN

vehicle has 113,000 miles on it now, the engine is knocking so I brought it in to Weber in Detroit Lakes Minnesota they say it needs cams and lifters e c t. Estimate is $5,000 or new engine $9,000 so now I can't get to work! I commute back and forth every day 70 miles each way, this vehicle should not have this problem as of yet in my eyes! Will the factory / dealership warranty this fix for me? I purchased vehicle from Weber in Detroit Lakes almost four years ago with 80,000 miles on it I have only driven at 33,000 miles since then!! I don't have that kind of money for this fix nor can I afford to buy a replacement vehicle but now the knocking you can hear it outside the vehicle but you cannot hear it in the cab of the vehicle so how long has this problem actually been going on before the fact of me noticing it just very recently so then I quit driving it immediately and brought it directly to Weber as per appointment

While tracing this annoying ticking noise down I noticed it coming from the exhaust manifold. I looked around it and saw that two bolts were loose and broken inside the block. I searched this up online and seen that many people are having this issue. Please help

Exhaust manifold bolts inferior! Hearing a ticking sound, much like a tappet, I took my vehicle to morlan dodge in cape girardeau, mo. They examined the problem and said it is probably due to the bolts used, loosening up or even breaking. Further inspection is needed. My truck has 54002 miles on it. Dealer in cape girardeau says it has seen this problem before due to manifold bolts causing leaks. 54,000 miles and the bolts are failing?? And no recalls to replace them??? Why not? The bolts are said to be of low quality aluminum alloy. ?? Why haven't the company issued a recall to replace these defective bolts???

Tl* the contact owns a 2010 ram 1500. While the engine was running, an abnormal ticking noise was heard from both front wheels. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The contact took the vehicle to an independent mechanic who determined that the manifold stud failed and needed to be replaced. The passenger side manifold was repaired, but the failure recurred. The dealer (lilliston chrysler dodge, 1501 n second st, rte 47, millville, nj 08332, (856) 825-1937) was contacted to schedule a diagnostic appointment. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that a second diagnostic test needed to be performed. The failure mileage was 87,268.

The exhaust manifold bolted to the engine block is leaking at 75000 miles, upon further investigation this is due to bolts breaking off at the engine block level. Bolts are shearing inside the engine hole threads. This is a very distinct and reoccurring issue plagued by every dodge ram owner. Please perform a search at google (or any other engine), keywords "dodge ram exhaust manifold leak" (https://www.google.com/search?q=dodge+ram+exhaust+manifold+leak&oq=dodge+ram). There is a very loud distinct ticking noise coming from the right side engine manifold. After 30-60 seconds it almost disappears; similar to any other video or complaint found on the www. Some have called their dodge dealer complaining about it and even the dealers are recognizing that it is a flaw but a recall will never happen!

Two rear manifold bolts broke off inside header. Causes severe ticking noise anytime the motor is running resulting from heat shield and manifold rattling against header. Can cause exhaust fumes to be filtered back into cab causing injury

At about 65000 miles I started hearing a "ticking" sound from the engine, when it was cold. I took the vehicle back to the dealer and I was told that the exhaust manifold bolts had broken, this causes exhaust fumes to enter the passenger compartment during the winter when using the heater, and the summer using the air conditioner. . I believe that the problem was caused by chrysler using substandard materials for these bolts. This seems to be a chronic problem with the "hemi" engine, so much so that there are you tube videos showing how to repair the problem. The dealer estimated the repair cost to be $ 1800.00. As time goes by I felt that this should be a recall, due to the fact that this was never a problem with older vehicles, and it happened around 65,000 miles though I took it in around 70000 miles for the estimate. These bolts should outlast the useful life of the vehicle if they were made of the proper materials or were properly heat treated. It seems to be a regular occurring problem with dodge rams with the hemi engine. The date of the estimate is approximate.

Exhaust manifold bolts sheering off inside engine block allowing manifold to unseat making ticking noise and allowing exhaust to escape outside the vehicles muffler. Very expensive to replace the faulty bolts because most must be drilled out of the block.
