One of the primary tubes is knicking the steering shaft.

Any ideas, other than denting the header?

 

My Thorley's do the same thing. It freaks people out when I turn the wheel all the way and it makes that loud vibrating clanking sound. Id like to know as well.

 

Who's header are you using? I installed a set of Dynatech headers the other day on a Tahoe & everything cleared fine. I have also used JBA shorties and had good luck. Let me know I will try to help any way that I can!!

 

Green, yeah i thought i had KR

KJ, Thorleys.

TTT, I talked with one guy here who had this problem and I've gone and deleted his private message. I forget what he did about his same problem.

 

I had a set of edelbrocks do this to me.
I called edelbrock up, and they replaced it free of charge.
said on some of these trucks, the stearing box is just a hair closer to the motor, so when you romp on it the motor twists, and vibrates on the steering shaft.

 

exactly what is happening Thunder

 

Yep, I have it when I turn the steering wheel also and romp at it. The steering shaft neck looks like a camshaft lobe and knicks the header.

 

Beat it to fit, and paint it to match!

Who's headers are they??

 

I went to a junk yard, got a shaft off a wrecked truck, cut out the center section and replaced it with a smaller diameter and longer peice of solid steel that I had made by a buddy that works at a machine shop and welded the ends back together making sure everthing lined up. works like a champ.

 

yes it was you Mr. Roberts that I was discussing this with. Thanks. Whats weird is that it started about a month ago. And I've had the headers for a good 2 1/2 months.

blown. yeah thats what my dad said. " take the hammer to it"

Dough Thorley Headers is what I'm using.
