    I’ve got a 2014 Freightliner M2 106 with a Cummins ISB 479 engine in it. Just wondering what I should expect to pay to have the exhaust manifold replaced. Freightliner was trying to charge over $3000. My boss told me to get out of there. I have it in the shop at a family owned place and looking for your guys’ advice and wisdom

    Exhaust manifold replacement is a tough cost to give before hand. If they run into multiple stuck or broken studs that require drilling and tapping then the $3000 price doesn't sound too bad.

    Is this your truck or the boss's truck?

    AND why do you need to replace it?

    Again not to be an ##***** but why?

    if it is your truck, then you can do it yourself, ISB isn't hard to work on.

    If it is your boss's truck, then he needs to step up and get it repaired.
