Ya I called again today, they have to order the bolts, Chrysler is not sending them right now they are having issues with dealers ordering excess and not leaving enough for other dealerships. I don't really care as long as they get it. Man I had fixing things that aren't broke..yet anyway. How many miles before they let go usually, had it one year and only 8000km or 5000 miles...4 oil changes . 2 to be sure to make the 6 month to satisfy warranty and 2 others cuz I am old school and do it every 2/3 months depending on how much it was driven in that 3 months. When you drain 3 month old oil even if it only has 2000 miles or kms for that matter it is dirty. How do they justify putting sewing machine grade oil in a high performance engine and changing it at 6 months or 6000 miles or 10000 kms? I just don't get it, could it be pressure from the government to use less oil and buy more new cars cuz they last too long?

Just took my truck in and they said the bolts are on back order. They checked the bolts and said none of them were broken but will replace them anyway.

Just a note on the manifold bolts, all the 2009 trucks are not included in the RRT. Mine was built the end of March 09 in Warren but it doesn't apply to my truck. Possibly the trucks in question used bolts from a specific vendor that had issues?? Not really sure other than it is not on my RRT list.
