Hello, I am in the middle of swapping out my heads and in the process my manifold to head bolts broke, all of them. I guess its a good thing I bought brand new heads. Anyway, I can not find the specs on the bolts I need in order to put my exhaust manifolds back on. So can anyone please tell me the size of the bolts I need? I know I need 6 of them.

BTW I have a 2000 Ram 3500 5.9 V8 360

 

5/16 x 18 by 1 inch long

Six per side.

 

1"? My exhaust manifolds are about 1" thick. Can you double check that please?

 

Have a look at your manifolds...... looking at the parts manual, it appears there are two different sizes? (center two bolts shorter than four on the ends....)

 

Yes that is true

 

stock bolts, for stock manifolds are about 2.5-3" long. if youre staying with the stockers just take your manifold to the hardware store and get a bolt that has threads sticking out the other end 3/4-1"

 

Ok, short ones: STUD, .312-18/.312-24x2.25 P/N 06034643 (need a total of four)

Long ones: SCREW AND WASHER, Hex Head, .312-18x3.125 P/N 06034806 (need total of eight)

 

so at a hardware store I would need to get 5/16"-18 thread correct and 2 1/4" long and 3" long?

Sorry for being a pain

 

I think so.... But, the longer ones are 3 and an eighth.

 

no, the 2 1/4" bolts, are actually studs, and are only needed to be about 1.5" ill go out and confirm. ill come back and report soon.
