    I built a slip yoke cv rear shaft using a ford F350 front shaft. Works outstanding. Im not sure what I want to do with the front, but I will figure it out.

    And you are correct. I only have crossover. Not high steer.

    I do have crossover. 6 inch lift(7 up front from zero rates). I havent measured mine exactly. But they are 39.5x13.5s

    Installed a set of 39.5" IROKs and Mickey Thompson wheels the other day... I was able to minimize fender trimming by using zero rates up front and pushing the front axle forward 1.5". Only had to clip the front edge of the front fenders.

    Winch rebuild wasnt bad. Got to try the winch once. 03 duramax crew cab sunk to the frame. Tied the truck to a telephone pole and the winch never groaned. Definitly a strong unit. Thanks guys

    The problem with these military versions is the motor and solenoids are potted in rubber of some sort. I dont know how I will get it apart.

    Winch power hookup. Works great. But bad news. Winch motor appears to be bad. Have to hit it with a hammer to get it to start, and when it does, the motor is very slow to begin with then speeds up. Now to disassemble it.

    Mock up pictures. Used 3/16" peg board, a hot glue gun, and a jig saw to build the pattern. After mock up, i measured it all up and drew it in autoCAD. Here are the results. Tried to keep the military grill guard theme with the original pieces. Turned out better than i...

    Updating my progress. The turbo has been quite the add on for power. Truck is much more driveable and actually runs well with traffic. I never let the boost get much over 9 psi and EGTs have not been a problem even with a trailer in tow. Getting approximately 18 mpg if I dont lead foot around...

    You can get away without an electric fuel pump if you have a bung welded into your oil pan. That way the mechanical pump can stay and the oil is drained to the bung from the turbo

    Yep. But an electronic pump is just nearly as dumb as a mechanical pump. Plus it will be easier to change if need be.
