i was woundering if anyone (IE a mechanic or service person) could show me a thread maybe a service manual for replaceing the exhaust manifolds for the 2500 Hemi? i have the haynes but it doesent show a whole lot for the 2500, and nothing at all for that subject...its looking like im gonna have to put the front end on jackstainds and take off the shock towers to get at it? is that right? theres some pics of what i got..

nope...pretty straight forward...yur talkin about exhaust headers right?...easiest way is jack it up, remove wheels, remove fender wells, unbolt (2x each side) downpipe from headers, unbolt headers and remove...it's easier to go thru the fenderwells...

 

yeah thats what im talkin about but did you look at the pics? i have a 2500, little diff than yours, theres a shock tower in the way, and i was woundering if the manual said a diff way to do it, maybe some advice? a thread on this subject?

 

i just did a 2500 cuz we removed the heads as well...and i did exactly as i told you...

 

you didint have to do anything with the shock towers? was it a 4x4? i dunno when i went after it the first time i didint have hardley any room to work with...

 

...iv done numerous cam installs where I removed heads as well as headers (I can't remember how many I'v done)...iv done a few 2500's as well, luckily they all had stock logs, headers would be a pita to do...

 

take a look from above in the engine bay...the towers aren't too close where you need to do anything specific to remove the header bolts...the bottom ones yul prolly have to do on your back underneath the block...

 

yeah well im not putting headers on it due to the price of the headers for the 2500 upwards off 600 bucks all im looking for is to replace the gaskets....i didint really mention the most of the bolts are rusted and rounded off..........

 

maybe my hands are just smaller then yurs..hehe..im a short guy...

 

Those manifolds look really restrictive in the pictures. I haven't really looked at the ones on my 08 1500 yet.
