I live near Milford and in need of a good mechanic or shop to repair broken exhaust manifold studs. I have a 2000 F350 V10, 155,000 miles. I called the local ford dealer and they ballpark about $1000.00 just to remove all the studs. Any help would be great. Thanks.

He is over here in Fraser, but the guy and his group are honest. Good Luck.

 

How is this going for you??

 

Right now the truck is just sitting. I have called a few shops and they either dont call back or want alot for the repair. I have a few people spreading the word what I am looking to get done. I dont drive the truck but a few times a month anymore so I can afford to let it sit. But it would be nice to get it fixed, then I can tackle the brakes next.

 

Do you need the studs that hold the manifold to the head or the manifold to the crossover? or both? One side or both? I can tell first hand I have been wrenching professional for over 30 years and that is one of the worst jobs I have done! I have seen your local Ford dealer quote 3K range to do a 5.4.
The parts add up fast and are $$$
