    none ... yet.
    So my wife has a Jeep Commander that she loves more than me, as such I am trying to keep it healthy so she doesn't touch my TV remotes. She has an exhaust manifold leak on the driver side and the dealership says that is an 8-hour job. I wouldn't pay what they want even if it was a full engine swap. I rebuilt a Ford 5.0 engine in less time. is this really that major of a job to fix and should I leave it up to a dealership to do? Any suggestions, also because I have this desire to modify everything are there headers for these jeeps?

    Welcome @SaberMike ...definitely get a few more estimates as 8 hours seems excessive. Doubtful that exhaust manifold job is comparable to whats been engineered into some newer cars who figured mounting the starter under the intake manifold was a great idea.
