New Exhaust Manifold from 1AAuto.com 1aau.to/ia/1AEE...
This video shows you how to install an exhaust manifold on your 2004-2008 Ford F-150 (5.4L 3 Valve). The exhaust manifold collects the combustion gasses from your vehicle's engine, and directs them to the rest of the exhaust system. Frequent heating and cooling can lead to cracks or leaks. Installing a new exhaust manifold is often the only solution.
This process should be similar on the following vehicles:
2004 Ford F-150
2005 Ford F-150
2006 Ford F-150
2007 Ford F-150
2008 Ford F-150

This job looks like a ton of work. I'm gonna put furnace cement on my manifold and call it a day lol
you sir need a nobel peace prize for your patience.
I gotta say the presentation of this video was excellent!
Thank you so much for the detail you provided. This is an exhausting job, no pun intended. I really appreciate you covering the extraction of studs. I had to put the old manifold back on to use as a guide for center drilling a broken stud. I was then able to remove it with an extractor. This is a lot of work, that takes lots of patience, thanks for sharing this.
Thanks for the step by step raising the engine. You're the best.
I have forgot how hard this was back in the day when I was doing these kind of job it was a great feeling to fix the problem but now I give credit where it is due you are a very patient man
What I did to prevent the studs from breaking and the bolts from stripping was blast it with a propane torch and spray pb blaster about 2-3 times, put my 13 mm on it, tighten it a little and work it back and forth
very good . lets people know to expect the worst, but you can power threw. well done
this is a really great video about a really difficult task.

Awesome video !!! What a job this is on these ! Had my friend install jba shorts years ago for more power for towing Looking back probably a big waste of time and money. Took him a week ! Very hard job. Not sure if I got more power or not. It seems the header have exhaust leak now but still pretty good. Probably should have left factory manifolds
I have an 06 F 150 at the shop right now. When they replace the drivers side I will have had them replaced on both sides twice because they cracked. The truck is like new. A hundred k on an 18 year old truck no rust, super clean and the guy that replaces mine charges $500 per side. If they break again I am thinking a factory OEM from Ford motor with all the updates. High volume oil pump and the VCT all straightened out. Even if it's 10k It is better than 50 to 100k for a new truck given how clean the truck is. Oh and the transmission only has about 1500 miles on it because the transmission shop over tightened the pan gasket when I had the filter replaced and the fluid leaked out about 5 miles from the shop. They paid for a new transmission.
Having a garage and a lift helps about 1000%
when you use the welding method, quench it with water, this does WONDERS with extracting broken bolts. to put it simply, quenching will cause the new metal to harden and wont flex as much, it will also cause the metal and heated metal to shrink and breaking it free from corosion
Awesome video! Great job! Well done…
I'm in the middle of this myself. I have yet to lift the engine though. Passenger side manifold is off, though the manifold is trapped due to space. I was able to remove all of the studs though, none broken on this side. It's a southern truck, just doing preventative maintenance during a timing job as well. Driver side looks tougher. I either remove the starter, or raise the truck.
I managed to get the manifold out without lifting, but to work on broken studs, why came to watch video... my front 2 studs snapped Right side, rear studs nuts spun off studs would not pull out, 5 heat cool cycles pounding breaking 5mm sockets, so had to cut off exhaust behind cat for clearance after dropping starter.. had only planned on doing the one side...
do you have to remove the starter? wow great job and you didnt swear once very commendable
You sir are amazing
excellent Job!
how about a video of changing catalytic convertors on an 05 f150?
Can you help me find a video for replace the manifold (both sides) on an 05 f150 with the 4.2L V6. It has cracked manifolds but still running strong with 243xxx miles.
Greetings. Thank you for producing this great video full of helpful insight. Could you please share details of drill guide plate you used @ 40:42? Many thanks!
Can you remove those bolts without removing the studs? Since the both spin in same direction.
No tuvo que sacar el motor verdad?
Is there a better manifold out there that’s better than the oem?
What is the official name of the “driver side engine bolt” that you removed? I need to buy one because I’m going to have to cut mine.
Has anyone used the TRQ brand of headers? Ive heard that nothing works but OEM here.
Aldata says 10 hour job for both !!! You did it unlike 25 minutes
Why not use anti-seize compound
Hey where you located? I need mechanic for this job
+MUSIC ON Our video studio is based out of Massachusetts.
And why change out the whole manifold?
How much does this cost in today's economy? 5k?
Why would you not just change out the manifold gaskets theyre like 20 bucks 🤨
I love how all that splatter and metal shavings are going in the cylinders, wow I bet they where scored after you got done
It
Man what a rust bucket! I hope this is not your truck it has been criminally ignored. Ever heard of a pressure washer? 5.5mm what morons they couldnt have gone with 6,mm? Step 1: buy a 1/2 inch drive earthquake xl from harbor frieght. Step ,2 buy earplugs for the kids. It is amazing how much work is necessary just to get to the work!
We’re just going to ignore the leaves that made it past the air filter…?
