exhaust leak/ new exhaust

[zzze]

with my new 1988 4.0 L renix 5 speed i just got about a month ago i have a pretty good exhaust leak... the fumes enter my cab so i have to keep the windows open at all times. i have not had the time to find the leak but if it is bad enough where should i go to find replacement parts for the exhaust?

You probably have busted exhaust manifold studs at the very front and very rear of the cyl head. It is very common and Chrysler has a tech bulletin for this with new studs, nuts, torque value and a plastic spacer. Either that or your EGR tube gaskets have gone bad, or like my truck, and have the Crankcase fumes running in a tube dumping out under the truck before they make their way back into the cab!

was this tech bulletin a recall?

No I don't think it was ever a recall, because it wasnt that much of a safety issue.
