98 ram 5.9 passenger side exhaust flange gaskets? - 09/15/17 08:47 PM
Can anyone provide me with a part number for the donut gasket on the passenger side? The auto parts stores are telling me it's not available, some say it's not even notated. Thx.

No gasket that I'm aware of. Just a bulged seat on the manifold.

If you have an exhaust leak, check the bolts that hold the pipe to manifold together, maybe rusted broken.
Also the manifold to engine head studs/nuts frequent snap off.
My sons 01 Ram only had two studs left...It was pretty loud..

Sorry took so long to get back to this, been busy fixin crap on every car I own the last several weeks.
Those who said there is no gasket were right, the bolts had just so deteriorated that they were no longer tight. Was a booger gettin the old ones out, but all is tight and quiet again now. Thanks.
