The Ford has had a cracked manifold for a while. They aren't cheap nor easy to replace. Basically I was looking at nearly a $2000 bill to have it changed. None of the exhaust garages want to do them since the studs break off inside the block. So I started looking at an easier way to do it.
I came across a product called quiksteel that's rated for 2400 degrees Fahrenheit. You basically clean the area. Use a drommel to gouge the Crack. Then mix the paste and apply. It sets in about 20 minutes. I tore into the truck this morning and basically just removed the front tire and plastic inner fender to expose the manifold. I then cleaned it up with a wire wheel bit on the drill. Then gouged the Crack and filled it. So far it seems to have worked. We'll see how it lasts.
