Re: Welding v-bands on truck manifolds
I preheated mine, and they've been perfect. I agree with boostedC10 that they weld more like steel than iron....it's like GM knew what we'd be doing to these poor engines...lol.

Re: Welding v-bands on truck manifolds
i cut my flange and rotated it to fit the frame rail on the driver side. Gave it to my buddy to take to work where he could preheat it and weld it with inconel filler. When he gave it back he said he welded it with mild steel and i'm not sure he even had to preheat it. I have been driving the truck for over a month now (heating and cooling) and not had an issue knock on wood!! If that was truely the case i could've done it myself with my MIG..
