“Took in to have shocks checked and mechanic found exhaust manifold to be cracked over 3/4 of the way around betwee the middle two exhaust ports. My brother in-law suspected a leak as I was putting boat away over one year and 25000 miles ago. I do not ever remember the truck sounding any different and the manifold is under a heat shield so I never spotted the crack. I have always smelled exhaust but thought it was comming from other vehicles. I frequently make long trips in the truck and have had to fight to stay awake that I now know may have been due to carbon monoxide poisoning. …”
