Need to repair a cracked t4 cummins manifold. I have tig,mig, and stick available to me. I know pre heat and post heat are a must but want to know what rod and if there are any tips or tricks. Thanks |

I have welded a very old cast manifold on a 1950's vintage d6 dozer with a mig using a good 3 gas mix, has stood up to many tree branches and yet to crack! I used to try repairing with nickel rod and the old arc welder but found the mig much less stressful! |

Pre heat and post heat as well I'm assuming? Is it the nickel in stainless that makes it work well with cast? |

Yes, preheat and post. Yes it is the nickel in the stainless that makes it work well. |
