Forum,

I have been working on my 99 Dakota 5.2L V8 SLT Club Cab with the 44RE Transmission. I am replaceing both Exhaust manifolds but am having difficulty locating what bolts I need. I already have new manifolds and gasket ready to go but I do not want to start the project before I have new bolts in hand. Pictures of my manifolds are below.

Rock Auto states that the parts are the FEL-PRO ES75108 Kit. This kit is nowhere to be found however.

From other locations I have found conflicting information. Some say the following are the coorect bolts/studs:
MOPAR Part #'s:
6036607AA (X8)
6034643 (X4)
115729 (X4)
53010091 (X4)

Some websites say I need 06035184 x4

I also want to put sheilds on both sides. Can anyone help me identify the bolts I need?

Thank you,
Brian

Wow, what a caked on rusty mess.

There's not many people that re-use the stock manifolds. Most folks get the Spintech mid-length or Gibson shorties.

I'd be tempted to just get new grade 8 hardware from the local hardware store. Measure each hole depth in the manifold, and add 3/4" of depth into the head.

 

Get cheap, junky hardware for when you have to drill it out - long enough, you will!
Lots of hi temp anti seize.
Not being sarcastic at all.
The cone washers are important, they go back where they come from - I believe the middle 'pipe.'
I would not waste money or time on factory shields - make 'em heavier, further out or shield items that catch radiation instead.
That tin that close can not last.
