kinda shoved it to the back.... wayyyy back... sorry. i really havent given this much if any thought recently. just too busy with other stuff

This is not the direction i want to go then. If i go 6.x, i need all the parts to be readily available. Ill look for other diesel motor/trans combo's that are more common. aua Thank u all for ur assistance and info. Id much rather blow theories here than to spend several thousand dollars and...

Nice pics wolf! Thanks! Tanner, i appreciate the info and will check it out but ima try my best to stay far away from any mil parts as theyre not generally "napa-friendly". I may make an exception in this case tho. Re: 1. Its surely tuff as h*ll. 2. It is a five speed. 3. Its gotta really cool...

Overdrive is a must bit i want whatever combo i go with to be off the shelf parts that are easy to obtain. This is important to me because part failures happen at the worst times in the worst locations. Thats why i have chosen gm engine and axles. Idk what if any 5spd trannys gm put behind...

Id imagine so!

Very well said. Im new to motors that dont run unleaded. So i want simple, easy to maintain, and powerfull enough to cruise, haul, pull, or crawl. Its not planned to abuse it often but if i need to, i need it to be there for me. We've all gotten into "oh sh*t" situations. Some rigs make it...

Geez me too! Been eye ballin a 543 that needs alot of work but thatd be perfect!

Crane truck? Pics man pics! :D

DAMMITTTTTTT!!! I want the ability to handle that type of terrain but not planning to use it like that on anywhere near a steady basis

The thought has crossed my mind to use extra rockwell axles and run 395/85r20 for commonality purposes only. But this poses a complete different set of restrictions and headaches and likely wont be a serious contender

Is it possible and/or feasible to keep the divorced t-case?

Think PMCS!:beer:

And this is why i love this site. U guys are awesome! U deserve and recieve respect from me. I want as few things to go wrong as i can have. Mech clutch is my preferrance too

Gutsy, mechanical, fab req'd. Thats all good by me. Can yall elaborate on ur installs? Details and pics are AWESOME! Thanks!

Time… well i can get time do work it here there and yonder Money… i know theres cheaper swaps but theres also much more expensive ones. This seems to fit what i want/need from the truck. Thanks for the link brother

Thanks brother. Seems like u have a pretty good idea of where im comming from and going.

Ok. So ur against the 6.2. How abt a civilian deisel suggestion

Ha! Humor? Not even close! These ppl have no humor bc the comp screen they stare at doesnt tell them to have humor. This office, no matter the title, will be the origination point of the zombie take over

Rice, soy beans, corn, and wheat is all that as common as grass around here other than tractors. Cucv axles, i assume have disc front brakes? Ive yet to see a cucv anywhere in the state other than on the gl site and.. well.. i dont see that as a serious option. The nearest place that may be able...

Good points! 1. Might u have the measurement of the spring width? Spring pack bolt ctrs would also be nice. I have a 1/2ton chevy 3.73 posi rear diff housing to measure for comp. 2. I concede that its neither safe nor wise to exceed the gvwr. Id like to get away from mil-spec axles if possible...
