Hi all,
The left side exhaust manifold heat shield on my 1991 B250 with the 318 is just about toast. It's barely hanging on by one bolt and making an annoying rattling sound. This part is pretty critical as the manifold is only about 3/8" away from the doghouse opening.
I called the local Dodge dealer and the parts clerk indicated that there wasn't a heat shield listed (based on my VIN). Could somebody please tell me what the part # is?
The next problem will be to find out if Dodge still stocks the parts. I think I've had a 50/50 ratio on parts available vs discontinued.
Thank you, Steve

 

Here's just a quick attempt Steve for an unavailable part but shows a part number

The bolt clips on my 1996 exhaust shields wore loose and rattled. I welded a couple of hex nuts to the underside of the shields. That allowed me to torque them tight -- no more rattle. Perhaps this could work for you.

 

Thanks guys,
It looks like I will be welding as the Part # 52004565 is discontinued. That website is great, it will save me the hassle of going to the dealership and watching the parts clerk scrolling for 10 minutes per part.
Cheers, Steve
