For anyone else reading this I made one other small change and it is working like a charm

in products(_t).tpl I change the code to

{*** ########## Lines below to display manufacture name ########## ***}
{assign var="manid" value=$products[product].manufacturerid}
{if $manufacturers[$manid].manufacturerid ne "0"}
{$manufacturers[$manid].manufacturer}

{/if}
{*** ########## End display manufacture name ########## ***}

Before it was returning manufacture name based on the current loop number. And not it doesn't display anything if there is no manufacture set for a product.

Thanks pmstudios for all the help!
