Re: Attempt/Mistake #2
Another problem that I had was that Hooker Super Competition headers that I bought sit so high up in the frame (for full length headers, don't sit as high as the shortys that a lot of guys are running) that they interfere with the parking brake cable. The cable tried to sit on top of the header and I did not want that rattling and getting hot all the time. I am over the days of having a barely legal vehicle that you hold your breath every time you take to get inspected so I have to have park brake. Decided that my best bet was to move the entire through frame mounting part up 1.5 inches to prevent this. The wiring harness that goes to the rear of the truck is going to drop down through that hole that is on top of the frame rail (will obviously put grommet in it) and will be secured below where the park brake cable goes through frame.
