pb blaster or yield......if your truck is a daily driver start soaking a week ahead of install.....two weeks if the truck sits a lot....

good luck!

Yeah, we use kroil out here at the plant all the time....pretty good stuff. I am trying that new WD-40 penetrating spray, I'm gonna start soaking them about a month ahead of time.

I prefer Don At Lasotaracing.com, His customer service is better and he rote the book on tuning with sct, literally.

I used four cans of VHT but I also did my off-road Y and some other pipe under the truck. 2 light coats 1 heavy all with in an hour like it says on the can.

Ok thanks. I should be able to get by with 2 cans being how I am doing just the headers. Also I will have to shoot don a email and visit with him a bit. Thanks for the help.

What O2 sensors do I need? Part#? I heard Bosch you could get with the extended harness. Please list the part#, price, and what length the harness I need would be. Just trying to get everything lined up so I can buy everything before I start the job. Thanks again.

I used the bolts that came with the Pace Setters, they have not come loose since I put them on. On the 02's I just extended my truck's wire harness used solder and heat shrink (the truck's harness not the 02's harness).

I was just curious, with the new headers, how far back do I need to cut the pipe on both sides for the header collector to mate up with the system, I already have the rear 2 cats deleted and the front ones still in place for now until I get my headers for the install. Thanks.
