You'll like them. Mine have been on my sonoma bout 40K miles now and not a leak one from them. I used OE gm gaskets with locking header bolts. Then used copper gaskets and knurled aircraft lockuts on the collector.

Well, its been a good weekend of work.
Correct oil pressure sensor installed...



Picture of fan to accessory clearance. Plenty of room...



Set it back on the ground, stance appears to be the same...



New shift boot...



Interior going back together...



Hood back on...



Got my headers on, real tight clearance. Definitely ordering some tubular uppers and going to have to do something about the steering shaft...







Oh and then we finished up some wiring, my fuel lines, and did this.

I stuck with stock uppers on mine. Pull the header back off get a bmfh and whack it till you have the clearance. I didn't have to get too crazy with a hammer on mine and they dont rub a bit.

I already grinded a llot of material off and don't want to do to much more. So I said F it and ordered a set of UMI upper control arms with tall ball joints. Should be showing up in a couple weeks. Pretty pumped.

How much they set you back. My poly bushings are about toast from heat so sounds like a worthwhile upgrade.

Truck is looking good....otta run well

The sale is over, I got the upper's complete with tall ball joints and new hardware for $430 shipped. Would cost you around $480 shipped now for everything. You can get just the arms without ball joints and hardware for $340 + shipping.

What advantage does the tall ball joint give a better caster camber curve for cornering?

zdiesel

Correct. Better camber curve.

Thanks! If I'm impressed with these uppers you can expect another order from me in the future for a set of tubular lowers and coil overs.

Well I was ready to order some upper control arms and a customer saw me driving it today. He had a million questions then finally asked if it was for sale told him 10,500 cash and he didn't blink a eye said to save it and he'll bring cash monday. Guess we will see. I really don't wanna let it go but wife n I want to buy a house so can't so no either because if I get in a spot and need to sell it I'll take a beating..
