Pacesetter LT...Trans Dipstick Issues
The trans dipstick will not bolt to the bellhousing with the Pacesetter LT W/ EGR hooked up. Has anyone else had the issue and if so what did you do about it. I also had one nut left for the studs on the intake manifold and I cannot for the life of me figure out what it is for!

I can't bend the egr pipe on the headers and it is DIRECTLY in the way, maybe with some heat I could coax it around but with the amount of ppl running Pacesetter L/T I figured someone would have some ideas...keep em coming

I fought and fought that damn tube finally got pissed and just pulled the header back out cut the tube and welded a piece of round stock in there to clog the hole. As far as passing visual I had this young punk doing my inspection he saw the smog pump hooked up and shut the hood never noticed that there was a off road y pipe with no cats and never even attempted to check for the egr. I f I could go back in time I would of never bought the bullshit emissions headers and also this is the first and last set of pacesetters I will ever buy going kooks next time.

If you heat the egr tube on the headers and ever so carefully bend it around you can relocate it directly behind the trans dipstick away from the heads with no clearance issues with the firewall, just for future reference
