I HAVE A 1997 FORD F250HD WITH THE 5.8L ENGINE AND 78,000 MILES. I NOTICED AN EXHAUST LEAK AND DECIDED TO INSTALL EXHAUST MANIFOLD GASKETS TO CURE THE PROBLEM. HOWEVER, WHEN I STARTED THE JOB I NOTICED THAT THERE WERE BROKEN EXHAUST STUDS THAT HAD BROKEN FLUSH WITH THE HEAD. AFTER REMOVING THE MANIFOLDS FROM THE HEADS I ALSO FOUND MULTIPLE CRACKS IN THE MANIFOLDS, ONE ALMOST COMPLETELY AROUND THE RIGHT MANIFOLD. AFTER CONTACTING THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP I WAS TOLD THAT THE PROBLEM WAS A COMMON ONE FOR MY YEAR AND ENGINE BUT WAS ONLY TAKEN CARE OF WHILE THERE WAS WARRANTY. I WAS TOLD THAT THE CASTING FOR THE MANIFOLDS FOR THOSE YEARS WAS WEAK. *LA
