Re: 85 burb meets 6.0 lq4
Got the headers in mail today. They are most definitly not long tubes. Mid-length at best. Kinda a let down but if they work i guess it does not really matter because they are the only option i really have. Cant wait to install them. They are huge for sure.

Re: 85 burb meets 6.0 lq4
Truck is at the shop getting the front truetrac installed. The same place will hopefully do the exhaust at some point. I will do a test fit.

Re: 85 burb meets 6.0 lq4
its great DT can fit so many trucks, and that they keep them from going below the frame rails. But if I'm understanding this right... sub'ing in a mid-length header in place of a long tube...just so that they can cover numerous years/models/configs of truck with just one header....shame on you DT!
To be honest I was planning on swapping my Dynatechs out for a set of these to get the complete 3" system within the frame rails. Not so sure now...will need to see more on these installed in a truck with my setup. Somehow....I feel like DT took a back step with the '67-'72 guys!

Re: 85 burb meets 6.0 lq4

Re: 85 burb meets 6.0 lq4

Re: 85 burb meets 6.0 lq4
How are you liking the radiator? I noticed a little puddle under my truck today so maybe it is time to follow suit...
Did you get your exhaust installed?

No have to save the money for the exhaust and i will be saving for a while...... It is going to cost a ton to do the exhaust but i know the guy and he comes highly recomended. He will spend about 15 hours on it he thinks. I have been told his exhasts are works of art. I can not wait!

Re: 85 burb meets 6.0 lq4
must be the bean counters.....otherwise why would a company drop a product that they already developed and selling.... to go to a 1 7/8" "one design fits all" that covered more applications....but not all power plants. There are a lot of 5.3 swaps out there DT, 4.8's too... that need a 1 5/8" tube header.
My guess is the fit isn't as good with a 'one size fits all design' either. Some companies just don't get it

Re: 85 burb meets 6.0 lq4
Holy cow...... I never want to do that again. They fit but not so good with my mounts. I had to move the engine about a half inch forward. And "adjust" the pinch weld. But they fit. They look great installed. I never want to put number 8 plug in. Here is the really nice s bend that is about 1.5 inch diamiter in someplaces. And a really great weld job done at one of the "good" exhaust shops.

Re: 85 burb meets 6.0 lq4
I was going to do a "test" fit. That all went to the crapper when the nut inside the frame would not move and i made it and it lost the threads... Also had to cut the pipes off to see if the headers fit. Oh well. Now to just get them welded to rest of exhaust for now. Then the big bad ass exhasut. I do have to say it sounds amazing. Only ran it for a sec cause my o2 sensors were not reading anything. Said way lean. Hope i can baby it to exhaust shop.

Re: 85 burb meets 6.0 lq4
Dirtydingo mounts. They are adjustable. I had motor way far back i guess. I dont know how to weld and i am sure i can do better. I was told he is the best welder around. That is why i am gone spend lots getting the 3 inch done really nice.
