Well upset. Just spent 500 ukp having exhaust manifold on my '98 GC replaced. It was cracked in
three places. The replacement has flexible connections to the outer two ports. Anyone know the
cause of the damage (apart from sh*te design) and is it worth claiming off Jeep for the cost
(as it appears they already knew)
Thanks

They won't offer up any cash as the part is out of warranty. Some
people have had luck with their dealers going in for half the cost,
but that is a rarity. I had sent DC an email regarding this and my '98
TJ, and they informed me that since it was out of warranty they won't
help.

Although if you would have ahad it done at the dealer $500.00 would be
half of the cost, so nevermind.

Yeah thanks Dave, just found out that there is a class action going on in the states but sadly
nothing in the uk. Think this stinks. Will be my last Jeep.

I just noticed that link from a different post and offered up my
information. Unfortunately I just deleted that damn email last week
after it sitting in my inbox for 9 months, figures.

Thanks for this info. I NEVER would have known about this lawsuit if you hadn't
mentioned it. Dam-iler-Chrysler should own up to the fact they had a defective
exhaust manifold years ago.

Just went through that with my 93ZJ.  The OEM header is a piece of garbage.

Gonna sign up.  Heck if it gets me a few bucks back on the new
header it will be worth the trouble.  That is if the webform
worked. :/

Phft!phft!??  Easy. Check for my old college roommate under the hood.
