Tried to bolt up those JBA's I got last week and no go. I started on the passenger side and the header tube was touching the engine mount. I'm sure I could have dented the tube a little and cut a little off of the engine mount, but I'm not going through all that. So I'm not sure what the difference is between 2&4wd if the engine brackets are different? Otherwise, it snaked it way right into place. No unbolting the engine.
JBA #1961S Box says 06-07 1500 and all other sites say 06-08 5.7L all?????
Just thought I'd share with everyone.

So, I'm gonna sell them and get those Rancho's i have been saying i was gonna get and have been dragging my feet on..lol

 

oh man that sucks maybe bc yours a 4x4. i read that its alot harder to bolt headers on a 4x4.

 

I woulda had one side done in 1hr if I didn't get snagged.

 

That sucks man, I was looking forward to hearing what kind of gains you got from them.

 

that does suck. i hope you get it worked out.

 

Hey Dirtydog, ive been looking at the bbk 4009 shorty headers for my 06 qcsb 1500 with the 5.7l(2wd) and it looks to me like i will have the same interferance with the motor mounts. what to do??? dremel time?
btw the rs 9000 shocks are sweet, ive had mine for about 2 1/2 years and i dont miss the stock shock float one bit.

 

maybe you should give JBA a call and tell them whats going on. they are really nice guys down there, and im sure theyd help you out.

 

Yeah. i didn't wanna go through all that. The box says 2wd so maybe your are different?

 

So.... I just got off the phone with JBA. Apparently they were bought out recently by another company that deals with electronic ignitions.
Anyways, long story short...They changed the header design on the passenger side to be able to clear the engine mount for the 4wd models. They are exchanging the passenger header out for me at no charge other than shipping. They didn't want to but i said i bought these headers on an as-is basis going by their website that said the headers would fit all 06-08 Ram 1500's. then he said they would exchange the pass side for free, so now they will fir 2wd and 4wd.......Looks like i may be able to get them installed after all! The new headers are 1961s-1

FYI all you guys in the future buying headers be aware!

 

Thanks for the FYI Dog. Sorry about your troubles but glad you got it worked out to your satisfaction.
