Review: Good semipermanent solution. - Works well, feels like good quality metal and also fits on some brands of headers. Quick and straight forward install.
Review: Good old Chevy tick its gone! Silverado 2500 HD - Well, you are reading this is probably because your Chevy sounds like a Chevy i.e. the classic header tick tick tick. I stalled this to a 2009 Chevy Silverado 2500 HD but it will fit basically any LS engine (5.3, 6.0, 6.2 etc). Prior to my manifold head bolts sheering off, I did not know this is actually a very common problem for LS engines... Way to go Chevy, have a known problem and still use crap manifold bolts. Its so common that Dorman has this band aid fix to save you hundreds fixing. FIRST, I want to clarify the part numbers and locations to be installed because some of the reviews are misleading. The are 2 different brackets to be used depending on which of your manifold bolt heads sheared off. Dorman 917-107 (looks completely different) - Locations to be installed is for either the drivers side rear or passengers side front. Dorman 917-142 (This product) - Locations to be installed is either the driver side rear or passengers side front. The reason is because the heads are basically the same but rotated 180 degrees. So be sure you get the correct part. Okay, now to the installation. I had BOTH rear manifold bold head sheered off, so I needed both part numbers mentioned above. But this is the installation for the passengers side rear (917-142). If this is the part you are getting you are in luck because its much easier than the 917-107. First step is the heat shield on the manifold is in the way of the bracket from mounting, but its so annoyingly close to fitting. You will have to of around 1/4"-3/8" of the heat shield. I used my compressor cutoff tool that mat quick work of it. A dremel would work well too. I suppose you could try shears, but its in a pretty awkward location. Once the cutting is done it is simply a matter of bolting down the bracket (Used anti seize) and torque to the spec in the instructions. then install the 3rd bolt that holds presses against the manifold (Use high temp loctite) and torque to spec (I think it was 18 lbs-ft). After I completed both sides and started the truck it was significantly better, but I gave and extra one flat turn on the bolt to the manifolds past the recommended torque just to give it a little extra sealing. The whole process took about an hour. Most of it was just figuring out the best way to cut the exhaust heat shield. Once that is cut the bracket goes in in around 10 minutes. Tick tick tick is gone so the brackets do work. The brackets really are more expensive than they should be (around $30), but it sure beats the price of removing the head.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this also fit the left front?**
A: Yes it will i actually used it on both sides of mine. I used the rear bracket and the side bracket with the hole in it. I work on these trucks everyday and they always habe the same issue of random bolts breaking off the manifolds. I have had zero issues with these parts since installed 50,000 miles ago. And since I'm tired of ripping heads off these gm trucks from tahoes, silverados, suburbans and escalades... I seriously highly recommend the brackets made by dorman. There are 2 different kinds. One mounts to back of cylinder head and other mounts any where u want either side.

**Q: i need one for a chevy express van 57 motor**
A: Unfortunately we do not offer a clamp for the 5.7 motors.

**Q: Will it work on the driver side front on the 8.1 motors**
A: this only works on 4.8, 5.3 and 6.0 engines

**Q: Will this fit my 5.3 avalanche driver side front ?**
A: this only fits 02-06 avalanche 1500
