quick question
hey i got the engine running good... turned out to be injectors so i put the 5.3 rail and injectors on till tomarow.... anyway so i was refilling my coolant and i looked down and the collector on the headers were glowing red.... not like cherry red but had a red tint to them.... now i havent ever really looked at them when the truck is hot but is this normal or not..... engine isnt over heating or anything just the headers are getting really hot....... now obviously i understand that the truck might be running a little lean with the 5.3 fule set up... so just give me a little input
Thanks

Hot = Lean. The 5.3 injectors and the 6.0 injectors are the same. You've got a fuel problem somewhere. The tune won't make it "that" lean. Don't stand on it too hard until you figure out your problem. I'd check the fuel pressure.
