I have a cracked manifold on the right side , dealer said that they have seen 4-5 come back with this anyone else with this problem.
 
Hey, I haven't heard of this, but where was it cracked, how many miles on your truck, etc?

From what I've read about header installs, replacing the exhaust manifolds is a lot of work. Only car I ever broke an exhaust manifold on had a bad motor mount that let the motor move and hit either the frame or fenderwell. Probably not the case in your truck, but maybe worth checking out.
 
There have been a few Titans with cracked manifolds. Some owners that had the infamous "engine tick" were not able to fix the noise with a ground wire like most of us did. It ended up being a cracked manifold. Don't know if Nissan redesigned these or not.

I went through a set of manifolds on my '00 Tundra after only 15,000 miles. I put headers on before they cracked again. :teethmast
 
Hi,

Can you share as many of the symptoms as possible. This way we can all be aware and listening.
Thanks

You'll usually hear a ticking sound that is usually louder when the motor is cold. Sometimes the ecu will throw out "lean" codes for the primary O2 sensor for the bank that's leaking.

noise

cant miss it ticks really bad , i cant see it but i can hear it , the stealer said they will replace it . no engine codes are showing . i will get a pic when they take it off the truck. thanks
 
I think my manifold maybe cracked as well. When you give it gas while in park you can hear a rattle at the peak rpm. My engine runs rough and will vibrate the whole truck after you let go of the gas. Also I can hear my truck whistle, even while idleing if I put my ear up to the grill. Also, the service engine light will flash for about a second when you give it gas! Anyone know the exact symtoms of a cracked one? :smoke: :smoke: :smoke: ??????????????????????????????? :huh:

Took it to the dealer and they said it's just the fuel injectors? I'm taking it to a muffler shop to get looked at, Free.
 
Yup, the old Pathfinders and Hardbody pickups had the same issue. I haven't had the issue on my Titan as of yet, but that will be my first thought if a ticking sound starts.

Why in the world would you take the engine to peak RPM in park? Seems abusive.

Anyways, when I rev it up there (when driving...) does seem to be some "cackle" but I just attributed it to the tuning of the exhaust and not any problem.

Peak RPM for how much you press the gas.. lets say you press it to 3000 rpm then let go well as soon as you let go u will hear the rattle. It only rattles when the rpms are droping. I would deff not floor it when I'm in park lol.

I have alot of that to. Is this the same thing anyone ??
That's the sound of cooling metal. Most of that sound comes from the exhaust system - completely normal.
