Exhaust stud failure
I have a 2000 f350 4x4 dump V10 with 19885 miles. this truck has been problems since it was new but that is beside the point. Question both sides of the motor have broken off manifold studs. the dealer has quoted 3640.00 to fix. That will not happen. Is this problem all over the place or just in the areas of the country that use salt on the roads. I am not to happy as they would not allow me to extend the warranty because the truck is registered commercial.
Other problems with the truck wiper motor caught fire when the truck has 200 miles on it. all seals replaced on front end and rear pinion before 17000 delayed engage of transmission. But most of all I am looking for other people that have had early failure of exhaust studs. ???? Is this problem large scale??

Maybe you should try to invoke the lemon law and make them give you a new one. It sounds like you are having more than your fair share of trouble with that one.
I don't know about V10's but my 460 is 11 years old and has 163,000 and never broke a stud or cracked a manifold. I don't buy your dealer's excuse.
Good luck
