2018 5.0 header install
After waiting a full month for kooks to ship the updated ypipe, they finally shipped my headers and all. When it comes time to install is there anything I should be looking out for or any tips? I saw americantrucks.Com mentioned monkeying around with the motor mounts.

Use the supplied bolts. i was given the advice to reuse the stuck studs, it is impossible to do. Bad advice. I fought the headers on and off for multiple days. You will need to take the a/c compressor bolts out - let it hang. if doing on jack stands use a floor jack to raise hand lower the motor/transmission to get the headers in and the ypipe in and out. |
Perfect, just what I needed, thanks!

Others have suggested dropping the starter as well. |
I had no problem reusing the factory studs but was using a 2 post lift. |
