Description of the problem	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.
