    M1008 is it worth putting a turbo on?

    The only solution imo is to swap the 6.2 out for any years version of a big block chevy and then twin turbo that. Either a blow through or a draw through would work. Not sure which design would work better for a FI motor but the 2001-2006 8.1 bbc is an injected motor that would be a plus.. The...

    Rear Disc Brakes

    No problem, the thought of removing the valve was two fold, one to avoid having to extend the valve in the case of a lifted truck as an alternative to extending the valve and most of all since most cucv,s are 30 years old if this valve would need replacement we would mostly be SOL as im sure its...

    Wheel Spacers - Aluminum or Steel ?

    GM trucks had these spacers as well but Im of the opinion that comparing factory offsets on a dually hub and the aluminum spacers are comparing apples to oranges, Not commenting on the OP and what he should do, what he does is his business.
