Discovered while changing oil
Well, item one - I don't know how everyone else is busting stuck exhaust manifold bolts.
I even have the Mopar Performance bolts in on my Dakota, and they STILL keep ... working loose.
Got the exhaust noise fixed for now, though - between .5 and 2.5 turns on the four bolts/studs on my passenger side, and replaced the missing one on the driver's side.
Starter bolts also. Starter was twistable when I reached up to wipe it off as I was doing the oil and filter change.
So a note: While under the vehicle, doing whatever, check anything that's bolted.
