I thought of stainless but heat tends to melt plug wires. I saw the dorman instruction sheet and it says "correct mounting surface runout prior to installation or new manifold cracking will recur." I suspect mechanic thought it was a normal replacement and did not bother correcting surface as...

Well the dorman replacement lasted 4 months this time and has since cracked... At this point I will try the suggested method above and remove heat shield.

Good info! Thank you.

Geometry Correction Brackets. Has anyone used these, if so are they worth it?

Know ones limitations. I took it to Altitude Offroad in Castle Rock, CO. All good now. (hope it is ok I posted the shops name)

08 Jeep Wrangler JK exhaust original exhaust manifold cracked at 54,000 miles. Replaced with Dorman exhaust manifold, cracked in 3 months, 3100 miles. Stock mopars on back order until June.

Thanks for the info. I will drop off at local shop to get fixed. Unless Eddie is available this weekend. :)

Greetings, 08 Jeep JkU Unlimited X, 57,000 miles. Leaking oil, driver side front axle by the knuckle. I assume its a axle seal? If that is indeed the case is this something that is easily done?

Dynatrac Prosteer installed. Much nicer ride now.

Thanks!

Going to replace my 08 Jeep JKU ball joints. Dynatrac prosteer or Teraflex ball joints? Looking for feed back please.

Rookie mistake on my end. Adjusted tie rod all is parallel now.

Hopefully the thread will help someone else out down the road.

UPDATE: Turns out had nothing to do with a ground. It was a bad range sensor. Computer thought it was not in park, so no start. Once range sensor was replaced, no issues since it was replaced.

Appreciate the info. (from the adults, not the clowns)
