Ticking noise
 
Yesterday, i was just finished de-chroming the H2 and when i start the truck...i heard a ticking noise...it was coming from the right engine side....opened the hood....low and behold....it's the famous manifold bolt that we're broke off (the last one) :mad: . I thought GM corrected this issues especially on 2008 model. Well, the truck warranty is over and i have to deal with this....questions for you good folks here is....which bolts should i use...updated oem or the fastenal (11115929)....Does ARP makes exhaust manifold bolts for our truck?....or any best bolts suggestions.....so i can fix this problem right the first time.

is it the rear bolts?

ARP does make a set. Summit had about the best price last time I checked.

Mud, yes, it's the rear bolt.....i called ARP and they sell only the stud kit PN 434-1301....is this the one you're talkin' about.

yea, its the same kit used on all the lsx series motors also.

You know snapping the rear bolt on these exhaust manifolds makes me think the exhaust/Y pipe/cat doesn't have enough flex/give in it. When the motor torques the most stress is going to be on the back of that manifold.

i think you're right, not enough flex on the exhaust....gm parts guy told me that it happen often also on their pick-up trucks as well :mad: . FAILED engineering.

Replaced the starter and waiting for the ARP 434-1301 header stud kit and oem gaskets from amazon, paid $116.00, i hope this will fix the problem for good :D .

With out looking I dont remember what the 1st exhaust hanger is, but if its a solid mount, it might be worth changing over to a strap type so it has a little give to it.
