Manifold extension pipe leaks
I have a 2003 E350. The extension pipes from both banks are leaking ( blowing really) at the turbo inlet manifold.
1) Is this covered under warranty?
2) What kind of gaskets are used and where are they available (from Ford only)?
I haven't located any.
3) Should I change them myself or have it done under warranty ?
$100 deductable

PITA to change but I use sbc doughnut gaskets. I don't have the number. You need the shiny silver ones with no fiber in them 2in dia. The pipes wear and the factory ones will not fit tight. You can use a pipe expander to streatch them back up to size if you have one. The sbc gaskets are thicker and softer to conform to the pipe.
