[QUOTE="blksn8k, post: 1004138, member: 64142"] Mark, not sure why your dealer needed to pull the engine just to change a manifold other than they were taking advantage of the fact that you had a warranty that would pay for it. My dealer changed both manifolds under the Ford powertrain warranty and did it with the engine in the vehicle. Both sides had broken studs but they were able to remove them without pulling the engine. The driver side manifold went first and about a year later they did the passenger side. Just as an FYI, the problem was also prevalent on the F-150 including the 5.4L 3V which is even more difficult to deal with (less space) than our STs. [/QUOTE]
