| Description of the problem | Started hearing a ticking sound from my truck when starting it up, but mostly in the morning. Took it to the mechanic shop and was told i had a manifold leak. They told me that the leak was due to four of the maniflold bolts had completely broken off the manifold for no reason at all. Upon doing futher research i've found that this is a common problem with a lot of other dodges. |
