If you live in the deep south, using nickel antisieze is as important as remembering to wear ones underwear!!

everything rusts down here. every bolt on every situation gets it in my shop. Even tiny #8/10 screws.

New aftermarket manifold is much more robust than the original.

Please post links and part numbers when you have it on and tested. Probably one in my future.

Considering the times were in in.....excellent looking part at a fair price. Aftermarket is always cheaper than OEM.

Got everything back together. Everything went smoothly, no leaks. Took about 4 hours.

That's pretty fast. Congratulations on diagnosis, limp home, removal, sourcing parts, and installation. That's an impressive resolution.

Bruce, (or some other Forum member)

Why do they use those long spacer tubes on the manifold bolts?  Why not just use shorter bolts?  Just curious...

They keep the bolt tight during heating and cooling cycles and prevent breaking the bolts when the exhaust manifold expands.

Yes ride went well, no CK engine lights. Boost seemed a little low 20-21 lbs, however that's on flat ground, and the coach is not pulling the Jeep. New turbo actuator is holset 3533135,a direct cross from Cummins number, supposed to be set at 34 lbs.

Bruce,since the new manifold was beefier were the exhaust passages the same size as the old one?

The longer bolt doesn't stretch in one small section, but over the length of the bolt making a much longer life hardware in such extreme  environments

Good to hear. Glad to see you replaced hardware. So I understand it came with a lifetime warranty on installation. Broken off flush exhaust hardware is no fun at all. But I've made a lot of money over the years removing them  :)
