Squeal and flapping sound

[IRA51]

exaust manifold bolts break on all vehicles ,it's no big deal to change them . make sure you don't over tighten the new ones ,the heads are aluminum and you don't want to strip them . FYI my H2 has not done that yet in 85000 miles . this could be your excuse to install headers .

I wonder if thats the same quick ticking sound I get on the drivers side when I press the gas?

I'm sure it is ,and it is only going to get worse untill you fix it .

Thanks Ira Ive been worried about it for a while now
Does anyone have an estimate on the cost or is it something that is pretty easy to do yourself?

realy not that hard take off all remaining bolts ,pull the manifold away from the head take a vice grips and remove the broken bolt . if it is flush with the head than you will need to remove the manifold and use an easyout and remove the broken bolt . if it has a gasket replace it . use new grade 8 bolts to reinstall the manifold and that should fix it . do not over tighten the bolts about 35 to 40 lbs is all that is needed on manifold bolts .
