Lol actually when I responded I thought you were the original poster..no hard feelings at all really. I just don't wanna see someone go through more money and work than they need to. I've gotta pull my passenger side off to get the rear most bolt out too. It leaks something terrible. Plus I need to drill and weld an o2 bung on that header.

One of mine was broke off inside the head (previous owner never removed the manifolds so not sure how it broke) and one was broke off with a little sticking out of the head. I got that one out but need to find a right angle drill to get the other out of the head. Not sure how that's gonna work..

While I agree Pacesetter will eventually rust, but you doom and gloom folks trying to claim you'll have rust holes in 2 to 4 years are being ridiculous. I lived in central Iowa back the old days and they salted the crap out of the roads. From personal experience, uncoated steel headers would easily last 10 years before you started getting pinholes.

this is on a 2500 truck, so on yours the fitment might be better. I would not recommend 1-7/8" primaries for a 4x4 truck.

I'm just saying for a touch more money you can have headers that will not have this problem, ever. They fit good and offer no downsides other than slightly higher cost. They are actually cheaper if you count needing to recoat/replace the pacesetters at any given point in time because of rust.
