I recently bought a 2004 Durango with the 5.7L Hemi and for the most part, love the vehicle! I have become frustrated though with an annoying (sounds like) exhaust system rattle below drivers side and only when the vehicle is first started, and up to 3 minutes or so thereafter it stops.
I have read that many Durangos suffer from shearing of manifold bolts that can cause rattle!
If so, can I find a play by play tutorial on the replacement of said bolts?

Also, I was told by the dealer that the vehicle has 2 years Warranty left, and might this procedure be covered?

TIA

Sounds like a broken bolt indeed.

If it's covered under warranty still, let them fix it. They may replace a few more while they are at it and that could be nothing but a good thing.
