I have a 01 F-150 driverside manifold is leaking missing nut connecting y pipe but missing a bolt on the manifold to the engine block is missing just one.does anyone know roughly how long and what size bolt i need? Nothing looks broke just missing. Any help would be fantastic

You better check the missing bolt on the manifold. You will most likely find that the bolt is broken off into the head. These exhaust manifolds tend to break off bolts, and are a b$#%h to get out.

You can see inside the hole as well!

I also forgot to mention the guy i got the truck from did some manifold work/exhaust work on the truck as well

Buy some proper studs and try threading them into the hole.

Just wait. We are getting a late season dumping of snow this past weekend, then according to the jet stream map, looks like you may be getting more snow jgrathoff. Sorry to bring you that bad news. lol

We just got about a foot in the past couple days, and is still snowing today. Strange weather, even for Alaska. I guess what I'm trying to tell you guys is, WINTER ISN"T OVER YET! Damn. I wanted to take out my Mustang.

If you go to the web sight http://www.fordparts.com you should be able to find the part number for the bolt and washer you are missing. Hopefully, you don't have a broken bolt in the head and a new bolt will fix your vacuum leak.

If you have access to a welder. The broken bolts are not all that bad. I just did14 out of 16 of them 2 weeks ago on a customers truck. The studs can be bought at any auto parts store. And Jose people keep them in stock. Good luck.

Jack the truck up and pull the inner fender liner out. And you can access the bolts fairly easily.
