    Opening up my own shop, gauging intrest

    Will the kit require/need and intercooler? I feel all forced induction systems (minus chemical charging) should have an aftercooler. Will it require it, no. Will there be the option for it, Yes. Will exhaust need to be shortened or modified? (I know, you said bolt-on). Yes. The stock exhaust...

    Body off build going down!

    Yes it is. Basically what happened is the customer bought the truck and payed ~$30K for a different shop to do the duramax Allison swap. He was having some issues with it so he brought it to us. And, well, things were a ton worse than he thought. So, it's now snowballed in to a full on build...

    Body off build going down!

    You have to run that size body lift to run the duramax/Allison combo in an H1 minus the Alpha. But to swap in a cummins you don't have to lift it at all

    Aftermarket wheels and tire sizes

    I didn't know that. The one I have in the shop now; 92 H1/FMV, had the duramax (LBZ) and Allison trans conversion done before it came in. Though the conversion was done by what looks like a monkey, I don't know if it has the original T-case. But it does not have a T-case cooler. I still think it...

    Aftermarket wheels and tire sizes

    H1 Alpha rims are 17"s and retain CTIS. A 12 valve cummins and 6 speed Allison swap is hands down easier to do that the D-Max swap, and will offer lower highway speed RPM. You can stuff 40"s at stock ride height. But a speed bump and and anything more that lane change steering inputs will...

    M1070 Tech & Tips

    The ctis controller and power manifold, if memory serves, just need to be unplugged as they are mounted with in the cab. The DDEC needs to be physically removed every time though

    high horsepower & extremely high torque transmissons?

    At this point, my bs flag is waving proudly! Pictures or its just a pipe dream. Why in the **** would you build a 5 ton bobber to go mudding, hAs to be diesel powered making over 1K horse power out of a no production block!!! You have no clue what trans to run, much less axles, for under...

    high horsepower & extremely high torque transmissons?

    You still need an electric or internal combustion engine to turn the pump. You could use a variable displacement pump, the you would need accumulators to protect agains Shock loading the motors. This will also severely limit your tire RPM (a key component for midding) and cooling the fluid is...
