Cracked manifold
Okay I noticed I have a crack in the passenger side manifold. Not sure how long it has been there, I haven’t really noticed any lower boost numbers. What are the ramifications of using the truck until I can find the funds for this repair?

From: NT, See you in the
A co worker had busted studs on his manifolds (2010 Raptor). When pulled by the shop, it was only leaking around the crack, not the broken studs on the manifold.
Your turbo isn't going to be getting full drive pressure, but to what extent it's affecting will be hard to say until it's fixed. My truck with leaking up pipes runs and drives fine, but I don't have half the power I should. Just know your EGT's will be higher and the turbo won't be working as efficiently.

yeah, I think I may have lost a lb or two of boost maybe, not really sure when it cracked. I have a good mechanic that will do the job for me. I think I am going to go with a Dorman manifold. I get the the manifold with hardware and gasket for around $100.

Machine the manifold to make it flat. They are pretty bad.

okay well I guess will go with the OEM one then. I don’t want it leaking after it’s on and I don’t want to try and find someone to machine a new part.
i will for sure soak the bolts! They are rusty rusty and I wouldn’t be surprised if they will need cut to get the manifold off.

is the gasket from the manifold to the up pipe just a donut gasket and listed as “up pipe gasket”?

Yes, nows a great time to do bellowed up pipes too. That'll eliminate the donut gaskets and hopefully any other leaks.
