Big picture... Do you like and want to keep it? How much did you buy it for? Getting the 6.2 repaired as long as its on the top end probably is worth salvaging even at $150 an hour shop rate. Replacing the engine with a good reman unit could be the cost of the truck but will give you...

Jam a pair of Leece Neville 555JHO's in there ;) My ambulance had like 3k miles on it. My M1031 had 6k and the gennie had 3 hours on the Hobbs. Thank you Uncle Sam for selling this to me for pennies in the dollar! Sent from my SM-T380 using Tapatalk

I use 4" loft springs that ORD sells which I think are Tuff Country? I had the Goodyear MTs on a wide rim which I think came off of a Ford. They are the widest and most offset that probably ever came from the factory for a 16.5" rim.. You will need to trim unless you have stiff springs and dont...

Welding it is certainly easier. I also did mine while the nose was off during the engine swap. Now that makes it easy! Sent from my SM-T380 using Tapatalk

Yup, literally the same thing. I think mine sits slightly further back but same exact concept. Sent from my SM-T380 using Tapatalk

Sounds like a bad 80's corner worker name... Sent from my SM-T380 using Tapatalk

Thanks I dont have a build thread. Basically took a universal winch tray, flipped it upsode down, then welded it on top of the frame rails. It lines up perfect behind the license plate. You will have to mock it up left to right to get it right in the center of the plate. Sent from my SM-T380...

Covers too much of the grille. Mine is tucked behind the license plate which comes off. Plus it is less leverage on the frame. Gonna have to zoom pretty hard to spot it... Sent from my SM-T380 using Tapatalk

Do you have an understanding of basic electricity? If not, I would pick up a basic automotive instruction book or start combing through through the YouTubes to understand how the principles work. When you have the basics of volts, amps, ohms, then figure out how to read a basic wiring diagram...

Gotcha Mine arent the custom ones. I'm pretty sure the axle location is stock. I had a solid axle Toyota and I think the suspension was like 3 or 4" forwards. Its the only way to keep big tires out of the sheetmetal. Sent from my SM-T380 using Tapatalk

What are they selling these days? I bought my front springs a few years ago. Think they were Tuff Country. Factory replacements but no idea where the center pin sits in relation to OEM. I think he also sells Alcans? I would assume those are pushed forwards. My Burb has his 4" front springs...

Yes, the resistor is made to work with a properly functioning setup. Plugs failing can make the situation worse. Eliminating the resistor and going straight to 12v on the GP solenoid really has no downside other then loading only one battery while they are glowing but there are worse things...

Well that's not a spring?!?! Yeah you can buy those, or just redrill the perches which costs free nighty nine. Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus using Tapatalk

Is that a thing? I know you could get a custom spring but I've never seen an off the shelf one for a square Chevy. Plenty of Toyota SAS springs are like that but I never saw in for this application unless you did rears up front. Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus using Tapatalk

Ouch I fit 37's by just notching the lower rear corner of the fender. Also, the best mod you can do is redrill the front spring perch forward an inch. It does require crossover steering and maybe an extended driveshaft but it eliminates hacking the fender to pieces with 37's. Sent from my...

The 6L80 has way better ratios. First is way lower and the 2nd overdrive is taller. So Im looking at $3k for a reman NV4500 with the whole install kit from AA. Add clutch pieces and a pedal bracket, that puts another $600 in the mix. Bonus for not having to refit driveshafts. I think the only...

Haha I'm lucky, my girlfriend supports my habits but does say I'm cheating on her with my two mistresses at the shop. Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus using Tapatalk

While I am sitting on tech support hold to fix junk Briggs and Stratton generators...I'm snooping around in this 6L80. https://vcmstore.com.au/blogs/news/basic-6l80e-6l90e-tuning-guide So it appears you can change spark timing adjustment during all shifts, factory appears to kill 20 degrees...

I am sure it does, that type of shift strategy was pretty much the standard even back in the day with the single step shifting 4 speeds. I remember doing superchargers on the Toyotas and it had so much bog during shifts, it was the only way to keep the aw4 from exploding with all that power. I...
