Today I was pulling out of an intersection when my truck started to make a ticking noise. So when I got home I imediately started investigating it. I found a hole in my passenger side manifold. The bolts look pretty bad so I know fixing wont be fun. Has anybody else had this problem?

 

Yea and there is no easy way to fix it. buy some headers, its your best bet

 

Would you go ahead and do both sides? Only the passenger side is doing it (knock on wood) as of now. How long can I expect for my truck to be down?

 

Do you have any pics, I thinking I might be having the same problem. Haven't had a chance to look yet, it's raining like crazy here. I'm going to do both if I have a hole in one, might as well.

 

No I just got it back from the shop today. And for some reason the passenger side was really rusted but the drivers side manifold was fine. so I left it as it is. 330 dollars and two days later I got my truck back without an annoying tapping noise. But i could see the hole plain as day through the little skirt on the passenger side wheel well. Sorry I dont have any pics.
