    If GM made a DIESEL half-ton Silverado/Tahoe/Suburban, would you?...

    I'm gonna say no. I despise V configured Diesel engines and automatic transmissions. Now if it was a Cummins 4bt with a nv5600 six speed manual AAM 9.25 high pinion solid front axle and a corporate/14 bolt semi float rear (in other words AAM 9.25 semi float low pinion) in a base package truck...

    Right now I am at about 70' but I still have several cross beams to put in under the deck and one in the headache rack. I got 168' so I would have enough to build some rock rails and hopefully frame out the front bumper as well. Unfortunately my welder decided after 17 years to ******** the bed so...

    Guys with Full Sized 1-Tons....The big boy Full Sizers

    I am on both sides of the fence on this. That is why I have a rig built to beat on and another I am building to do the camping/light expo out of. If I wanna hit the rocks I just hook the Toyota up behind the Cummins and head out. Long trips in the Toyota are out of the question any more because...

    Project: Doitall Dodge

    Nice rig... Just my 2cents on the 14 bolt rear axle swap the park brake on the disk brake axles are a total joke. They don't stay adjusted wont hold a heavy truck in a hill for the life of them and are a pain to change. If you should happen to forget you brake is set about 50' of driving with...

    I was raised by a Truck drivin' Teamster Union member... Diesel is in the blood... Come on.

    Well I finally got the plumbing disaster all squared away in the house... Damn city workers. Today I had time to get my exhaust built finally. The whole job went really smooth other than my welder deciding it needed to tap out on me but a quick call to a co worker and I was back in business...

    Picked up part of my steel for the bed today... 168' of 3"x2" .120" wall. Rough plans for the bed. Still not sure on the headache rack yet but I'll figure it out as I go. I always change my plans on stuff so I'm not to worried about bailing off into it with a concrete idea. I am also going...
