I have the same problem with my truck but I still have the original manifolds and the down pipe is right against the starter (about a quarter of an inch) I cant put a conventional heat shield on due to the lack of space3 but Im going to get a heat blanket for it ASAP since its starting to click occasionally when I try to start the truck after its ran for abit.

If it aint one thing its another.

Oh BTW I noticed when I changed the starter what looked like a conventional pad for a later model starter and NAPA does list such a starter for my truck, would this be an option to stop this since those starters are abit shorter?
