I just took my old ones to the dealer parts counter and asked the guy to look them up, he said they are no longer available. Just when I was about to give up, I happened across the Prothane ones, they worked great.

I don't know what the OEM numbers are, and you're welcome for the tip.

if anybody is looking for new radiator isolators, I got a set by Prothane from Summit Racing, part# 7-1712, they work great. Originals are no longer available apparently.

How many people are running the h2 wheels? I'm looking at running them with 37s.

The camper battery will be only for some interior lighting, maybe some exterior LED flood lighting, my ARB fridge, and a 10 inch vent fan. I think the 12v side will be up tp the task of recharging a pair of deep cycles. The biggest reason I want to keep the 24v in place is because I already...

Thanks for the advice. I'm really throwing around the idea of converting to all 12v, keeping both alternators and both batteries. Don't really want to though

I have thought aboutconverting to all 12v, but i am mostly interested in if I could just tie into the 12v side of the original charging system and have it charge my camper battery without upsetting anything too badly. I have wired up isolator kits for dual battery systems in the past, it's not...

Are there any down sides to charging an extra battery off the 12v side of the charging system? I will be hauling a slide in camper and want to run a cable to charge the camper batteries. Will it unbalance the system?

Gotta laugh every time somebody mentions wind chill, it has no bearing on the actual temperature of cold machinery. If your truck has been sitting out all night in 15 degree temp, it will still be 15 degrees no matter how impressive your wind chill numbers might be. BTW, 15 is the coldest I've...

I have 6 inch Rough Country fronts. They were on there when I got the truck, and they ride terrible. Im sure the Pro Comp shocks up front aren't helping anything either though.

Yes, the drag link on my truck looks straight int the pics. I had to turn it to a goofy angle to minimize the rubbing just to get out of the garage for the time being. I assure you it has the dog leg bent into it. Now that I have been able to massage the exhaust into place, there is no more...

some pressure on the pipe, and then some light torch work was enough to get me what I need for the time being. I'll snap some pics and post them up later. I can also post up pics of the rest of the turbo setup, I remember there were some requests in earlier posts.

Where are you guys talking about notching the frame? The banks kit was installed by the book and there was no need to notch anything. The exhaust after the turbo is tight between the frame and engine but no frame mods needed. Maybe some slight notching of the crossmember and "softening" of...

My drag link rod is bent as it should be. I actually have it turned a funny way in the pic that makes it looks straight. I did that for now because it makes it possible to steer and the link just grazes the exhaust. When it is installed in the intended manner, it actually interferes more and...

here are some pics of the problem. The Banks exhaust for the LHS runs around the front of the motor, and of course, interferes with the crossover steering. The pics are a little deceiving, there isn't as much room between the frame and pipe as it looks like in the pics.
