its so weird hearing all you guys with 02-05 rams sayin you have had no problems with parts breakin!!! i took my truck off roadin jus one time and i snapped 2 of my exhaust manifold bolts and got an exhaust leak!!! lol i got really lucky n jus snapped the head off the top of the bolt so it was easy to get the other half of the bolt out but has anyone here had this problem? n i definately wasnt beating on my truck when i went out n had my fun.
figured id start a new thread for this. anyone know how the ram 1500s do offroading (gettin bounced around, mudding, etc.)? ive never done much with mine but before i do i just figured id get some feedback. ill soon be runnin a 5 inch lift with 35's if that helps.
ya the few times ive taken mine out ive had no problems. sounds like you just got unlucky with the exhaust.. my only complaint is sometimes when i go over bumps i can feel like something loose in the front end. like i can feel it in the steering wheel like theres play in something down there, it almost feels like somethin bangin up against something.

How in the world do you do that? Man I have broke alot of **** over the years off road, but never manifold bolts!
Sounds like something else going on there.
