jmc nogroupsspam@nojodibody.homeus wrote so i finally got the truck in to have the manifold gasket replaced per my posts a little bit ago. walked to the mechanics this afternoon to find my truck still in the shop with the hood up. he was supposed to call if it wasnt ready! was the phone free the whole time ah well. he said the manifold was warped and hed sent it out to have it machined. that was done and the truck will be ready tomorrow. in my short google excursion i saw that warped manifolds are usually replaced. but this is outback australia and replacing parts aint always easy and doubly hard for a yank tank so i imaging machining is probably the norm around here. nothing wrong with machining it. but for my particular truck 2001 dakota should i be concerned will a freshly machined manifold be as good as new are there consequences to this i should know about and how does a manifold warp anyway heating and cooling cycles. was it likely always that way and the gaskets just gotten old enough for me to notice the tik no. and could a warped manifold cause the p0455 code exhaust leak p0455 is an evaporative emissions system leak. the mechanic didnt seem to think

edtheward wrote just wanted to thank you guys for the reply on my 2000 ram that was blowing a fuse. i still could not find the problems so i went to justanswerdotcom and a dodge tech led me right to it. he felt is was a short along the wiring harness somewhere..he was right! it was a short caused by the air filter screw aftermarket airfilter . a zip-tie holding the wiring harness above it broke and the harness was drooping and rubbed against it. when i pushed down on it while the engine was running the fuse blew again. replaced zip tie taped up the wires and re-secured the harness--- good to go ! wow good for you! whodathunkit id never heard of the ja web site but ive just added it to my bookmarks. thanks for mentioning it it may come in handy. karl .
