1997 k1500 Amazon shorty headers... egr delete and more with lil tips throughout install Replacement for Chevy/GMC Truck 5.0/5.7 w/o Air Injection Stainless Steel Racing Exhaust Header www.amazon.com/dp/B01EILWOJ6/...
I just bought a 97 k2500 Light Duty 2wd for $800. 167000 miles, no rust\Florida truck, interior probably 8.5 out of 10 and exterior probably 8.5 out of 10. Just normal dings or wear but no dents. Everything works and it drives perfect and shifts. The only thing Is the water pump has a leak. I bought it with the intentions of selling it for a profit ,but I found myself in love with this truck. I was offered $2500 , but found myself not wanting to let her go. So I kept her and now plan on doing some mild upgrades. Something about driving this simple and comfortable truck. Anyways let me stop blabbering.
I have an 89 model with TBI and the EGR is on the back of the throttle body, but it’s not connected to the manifold so luckily don’t have to mess with that. But there is a bracket coming off the power steering pump that goes to the manifold... I may have to cut a little, but I’ll be at it soon
Awsome definitely appreciate the positive comments 👍... I been working alot overtime at my daily job... but have plans on alot more videos of the truck...
Man I think you just helped me with my whole ordeal, how to hold rust in the one of my manifolds and so I went ahead and bought headers to replace them. Went to a shop first though and they said it was going to be about $500 in 3 days before I got it back, I don't know if that's standard pricing or what but that's a little out of my budget lol
Was a new "original" y pipe? If so, was the "bubble" on the end of the headers a problem? I've seen some with flat ends and some with the "bubble" end. Also, did you have any trouble with spark plug clearance?
Were you able to get the drivers side on without taking the power steering pump bracket loose next to the engine ? T just got a pair of shorties and directions say to take the power steering pump loose and or cut the bracket ..Mine is a 96 ..idk if that makes a difference..
Yes that bracket is a extra brace that some do cut ... its fine with or without the bracket... just a lil more work if ya want to keep it factory and not cut it
Not tuned... runs drives fine ...sorry for no new uploads have done alot more to truck...between work and everything ...will have new vids soon thanks for checking out channel
@@Rider-nb5ts I checked the ebay listing for it and it doesn't pull up anymore... checked for similar and didn't find anything on there..... I'm sure there is something just may take some looking
@@kenman903 I hear ya brother. Got many a projects myself. It's a crap game being able to get out there and work on our vehicles here, I'm in the Pacific Northwest, been a lot of rain and flooding lately, wishing I had a garage where I live, would make things a whole lot easier. Anywho, take care my friend.
On the video, the part where you used the Sawzaw,what is the name of the hose going to the exhaust manifold? I just installed shorty headers on my rig, and now unsure what to do with said hose...
Have you had any problems after installing these? after i installed them in my 97 tahoe its been having trouble starting been stuttering and been stalling alot
I did a muffler delete on my 95 Chevy Cheyenne, original exaust went from single to duals, so I deleted muffler installed ss 3 inch y pipe and 2 18 inc ss exaust tubes that lead right by the axle I wanna install shorty headers if it’s easier how do I connect them to stock exaust pipes or whatever
@@kenman903 I know that feeling all too well .. I drive a semi .. home every night but 0500-1800 .. but that's what's needed for these Chevys lol .. can't wait to see some new content 💪🏼
Got a 96 1500 5.7 350 changed the headers but the egr valve is not blocked off and the hose that connected to the headers isn’t there anymore can this cause random misfires and make the engine have a semi rough idle
Yes but it's been a while and don't have the truck anymore... been a while but plan on doing more videos just been busy with work and life...thanks for checking out the channel
Also do you know the part number on those if you click the link it says page not found i have a 98 want the same headers but can only find 88 95 sbc headers budget ones atleast not sure if they will bolt up to vortec heads
@@kenman903 thank you very much. I just put headers on my 1997 chevy K1500 5.7 L and had to cut the EGR tube off the exhaust manifold. and was wondering what i was going to do about this.
No warp that I have noticed driven truck hour day for last 3 months and no leaks not bad for the cost... just make sure chek them maybe after week or so of driving to see if need tighten a lil
Hey guys, do any of you reading this know what causes the "tik tik tik tik" sound that is heard in between the engine and the trans? My montecarlo has a 350 and does that sound too and want to get rid of it, hope any of you can help me
