Was anyone able to confirm or deny the Heads being on backorder?

 

Yes i have confirm the heads for either side are backordered. The only way to speed the order up, which the daeler already has done. Which is a VOR.

 

Set of shorty headers and quality header bolts. You'd think something would change. Manifolds have been a issue for 20 plus years with Chrysler. I had a 1990 D350 360 I pulled a horse trailer with. Think it had like six manifolds and one head under warranty. Pain in the butt.

 

So the new head came in saturday...they put it on today..all is supposed to be good...we.will see..I am just worried that the removal..install removal again and install that the truck got scratched up..it went in with less than 10,000 miles on an 09..and it was perfect...hope it comes back the same...

 

99 -EC- 2WD- 318 -2WD-AUTO -4 INCH LIFT 285/75/16 TIRES-OVER 400,000 AND STILL GOING

And a 2009 with 10k miles.

Just thought the difference in miles was very interesting.

Take care of it and it will take care of you.

 

Well got it back.......checked it out it has one REAL shiny head and one regular, it runs perfect..no leaks ....sounds good, they washed it and cleaned it, they did the tires ,I thought the clean up was a great touch, even with it lifted, there is not a scratch on it or dent or ding, they of course had to change the oil and filter twice. all the gaskets twice,and 2 different heads installed.and the bill for Chrysler...........2,500.00...all I did was sign... LIFETIME WARRANTY
(I forgot how these things run, you know what I am talking about, when you dont floor it, just kinda push the pedal down from a roll .......that pull you back feeling)..........

 

My passenger side head replaced November 2012 at 85,000; took a week to get the head then.
