    Thanks for an excellent video. I'm a pretty capable DIY mechanic, but was resigned to paying a local independent shop to replace my cracked exhaust manifolds on my 2001 Suburban 2500, with 341,000 miles on her. After watching this, I think I'm gonna try this myself and save $800 in labor (hopefully!) BTW, the stud extractor link doesn't work anymore, but I found another that I'm going to order. Thanks again!!

    I live in the rust belt. I can't believe how clean that truck is. And how easily the bolts came out. I did a 6.0 in a 2007 3/4 ton suburban the other day and the bolt heads were corroded so a socket wouldn't bite in most of them. I torched the heads off of those and ended up with 2 flush and 5 protruding studs to remove and every one was a fight to the last thread. Makes me want to move south where working on vehicles is easier.

    The kit that I bought to do this job on my 2002 Silverado only came with a flat triangular gasket for the drivers side. After putting everything all together I have a pretty bad leak on the driver's side. Guy at the auto parts store said drivers side requires the use of the flat triangular gasket. I picked up a ring instead part# 190731 and it took care of the problem for anyone having the same issue.

    0:30 "new donut gasket"
    I just installed mine without this gasket and I have a leak at that seam. My passenger side dorman item was missing that piece and instructions didn't mention this extra gasket. I only had that thin ring gasket.
    So the ring gasket is for the flange side on the exhaust down pipe and the donut gasket is for the upper side of flange??
    Why is there TWO gaskets for one seal???

    Were the old manifolds so bad they couldn’t be re-used? At between $140-$230 a pair I’d like to try just replacing the gaskets and bolts. Is a dab of anti seize a bad idea on these bolts?
    Great video!

  • @BobSmith-mc7uq
    @BobSmith-mc7uq 5 років тому

    Good video. Stuff a rag or some foam into exhaust ports before cleaning with the plastic wheel.
    Never understood why Chevy used 2 different type of manifold outlet gaskets on this engine.
    Always liked the donuts.

    At about the :57 mark, I see you have 2 ring gaskets... Are two required, or just 1? Whoever removed the exhaust before I purchased my 05 Sierra 1500 didn't even replace the gasket, so I have no idea. 🤬

    Would you drill out the broken stud if it was flush to the engine block?

    • @SharkLasers380
      @SharkLasers380 3 роки тому

      If it’s flush, weld a nut to it. My 5.3 has aluminum heads- makes welding to those studs easier. My 6.0 is the reason I looked this up- not sure if they have steel heads.
      Hope you’ve fixed your problem.

    @pvcarmon1 5 років тому

    Doesn't talk about most important part. What kind of bolts need to be used to stop the broken bolt problem this engine is plagued with? Is it the quality of GM bolts or a design flaw with thicknesses and dissimilar metals. Can problem be successfully resolved? Thanks!
