On going Dodge Manifold Bolt problem starts as a small tick when engine is cold, sound like and confused as lifter ticking sound but engine sound quit in neutral under hood, but if you listen under the vehicle tick is louder the same tick you hear when driving and riding in vehicle. Noise get louder as problem goes on to explain why. When the problem is only a broken or missing manifold bolt this allow the exhaust to leak around manifold gasket as the engine heat causes the metal to swell the noise became quit. If problem is left unfixed gasket will became damaged resulting in tick to be louder at start and to continue even after engine is heated up.

I have the same problem with my truck "ticking" and saying that it's a manifold problem. I took it to a local muffler shop and they told to take to the dealer. A friend that's a mechanic said that because it has a cover or casing over the exhaust system, they don't want to mess with it. I don't want to put money into and the same problem is still there like the last person stated with their truck.

If this has been an ongoing problem for the Durango's then how come Dodge/Chrysler never tried to solve the problem? My truck acts like it doesn't have any get up and go any more and feels like it's grinding when I accelerate the gas. I have been a Durango fan since 2002 and that's only vehicle I ever owned since then, but this one has given more trouble. I've worked for Chrysler and they need to step it up and get things right because I'm thinking of going to a foreign maker and getting rid of my Durango.
