Sorry guys didn’t know where else to post this so, here I go.

Last week I heard a different ticking sound when I started the wife’s 2021 Durango R/T. The car has 22k on the clock. I didn’t think anything of it but decided to get it checked out since it’s still under warranty.

The technician determined both exhaust manifolds were leaking. It will take a week to get parts, or so they say.

Anyone else heard of this failure?

Thx

Greg

Friend of mine with a Ram pickup had his exhaust manifold crack. It had a pretty significant tick that I actually told him to go to the dealer to get his lifters checked out because I thought it was the infamous Hemi tick, turned out to be the exhaust manifold crack. He waited a while for the part too, much longer than a week but this was a year ago so...

My 09 Jeep has one. Mine sounds more like a tinny rattle that is more noticeable when it is cold. Common on them for the rear bolt to snap. I hear it way more with the windows down so not real loud

Very well known issue with manifold cracks but especially bolts breaking!! When I did the can in my Ram I pulled the heads and I had 6 bolts on one side and 5 on the other side that were broken. I got luck a hit all of them out with no issues but the heads where off. I switched to JBA headers and ARP bolts with factory gaskets, headers are a direct drop in for manifolds with no modifications.

Pretty common issue (bad manifolds and/or the bolts snapping), if you cruise any of the dedicated Durango forums you'll find lots of others with the same issue. At least your dealer didn't stonewall you like so many seem to do with this issue & are fixing the problem !
