I just bought a set of Pacesetter LTs and their ORY for my 2006 Silverado, but before I could install them, I was hit by a dump truck and now my truck is totaled. I am going to buy an '07 Sierra Denali (nnbs) with the 6.2 V8 (L92 I think) and am wondering if the headers would fit it? I know they will fit the L92 Heads, but I was wondering if they would clear the AWD stuff and the frame? Any help would be great!
I'd call Pacesetter and see if they will fit or they will trade you for a set that will.

I have already called them and the tech on the phone could not confirm if they would fit. He said that they have not done any testing yet and that he could only confirm that the headers would work on '99-'04 2wds. We all know that ain't true :eek:Quote:

Holy crap---a freaken dump truck hit you??? Damnit. You get hurt at all? Could you salvage anything from it? Headers might not fit...because of AWD stuff like you said...Why not just trying to install them to see if they fit? I know it is a daunting task, but throw in a few beers, a few friends, a loud stereo, a few strippers, and you've got yourself a header install party!

I managed to walk away, but my truck is trashed! My insurance valued my mods at $3640, so I couldn't get any thing off of the truck.
Here's some pics of the carnage :eek:

I bet they will fit. I would try fitting them on one side it really is not that hard.
Damn, you are very lucky to walk away from that wreck. Hope you feel better soon.

Wow if you walked away from that you are real lucky! Now I see why they make the bed that way. Lucky it was a big cab, a regular cab wouldn't have faired as well I bet.

Thanks guys! Yeah, I am glad I was in a crew cab...that's why I'm getting another one :rock:
It would be awesome if the headers fit.
It really sucks about the wreck. I just got my truck out of the shop after having a shift kit installed the week before my wreck. I have the headers in the garage and HPTuners showed up a week after the week :bash:

GOOD LUCK,

HOLY CRAP DUDE!!!! I just saw your pictures...F-ing A! James is right...someone WAS watching over you. That is absolutely amazing that you walked away... You are one lucky bastard...Count your lucky stars brotha! And make sure you stay away from trouble---cause I am sure you used up a lot of your luck in that accident...
On the side...the dump truck ate your left rear tire off the rim... And the fact that you stated, "I think they will total out my truck because the frame rails are bent pretty good..." Dur!!! Your truck is absolutely trashed! They would never try to fix something that bad...

:point: Look again! The dump truck ripped the entire wheel,tire and drum off of the axle :eek: In one of the pics, you can see the wheel cylinder and brake shoes laying on the ground.
My insurance company actually questioned repairing it :nutz:
So no one knows if these headers will fit??
If the 6.2 is the same as the new 5.3's it will fit. Several people around here with NBS trucks have used those headers in there 5.3's.

My insurance company added $3640 to the value of truck for my mods that I had done. With that said, I can't take chit off of the truck....not even my husky liner floor mats. I don't even know where the truck is at to be honest. You should try partszoneonline dot com. They have the cheapest prices and reasonable shipping unlike GM Parts Direct :cool:Quote:

After asking around on several boards, I think these just might fit after all. I am going to try and install the passenger side first and see how it goes. I'll let y'all know how it goes.
whered u get the joe gibbs rims from & what size tires did u run if u remember, im looking hard for a set, i found one set on ebay for 750 no tires, is that a deal?

Does that include shipping? I got mine for $700 with tires, but I had to trade my factory wheels and tires with the cash.
I had General UHP Grabbers 285/50/20. If I get some 20"s for the new truck, I will get the same tires but in a 275/45/20.
Originally the wheels came from Discount tire and cost about $1500.
