Default Decided to keep my 2005 Dak 4.7HO

Well, after the sound of a exhaust manifold leak started I was looking at fixing everything the dealer said needed fixed plus new nerf bars and a tonno cover. Nothing like 3000 dollars worth of repairs. So I started looking and just couldnt find anything priced that was reasonable. So, took the Dak to an independent repair shop. Said the dealer was right. But there was nothing he felt needed repaired right now. Made him replace the ball joints (slightly loose). New tonno cover, nerf bar and a cold air intake to hide the exhaust leak. Lol. Time for another 90000 miles. I'll fix that exhaust leak when it gets worse.

Manifold leaks can lead to burned valves. Do not wait long on that one.
