Haha, I would like to know how many Rams with a 5.7 didn’t have cracked manifolds.
I think it was just the bolts that broke on mine. I have lifetime maxcare on my 2013 so I don’t pay that much attention, if mechanic says something is wrong I bring it to dealer and give them $100 deductible to fix it. I’ve had:
– transmission cooler leaked a tiny bit and was replaced
– two wiper motors, entirely my fault probably I always see if they’ll get snow off in winter before doing it myself
– the manifold bolts or some bolts somewhere broke
– power steering, whole unit not just the pump, went out at about 150k and was replaced
Never stranded me at least! My only hesitation about getting a new one is the rust. I took such good care of it and even though it’s mechanically great it looks like poop
