    http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/moreinfo.php?pk=889324&cc=1025941 It looks like i can attach the cable right to this and dont need any brackets. What are your thoughts?

    I agree with everything your are saying. My problem is if I use an Eldorado caliper its about $20 extra each vs the $300 plus using the driveline brake. That $300 is a large down payment i can use for a winch, front bumper, or roof rack. I have not heard a strong argument from anyone for...

    I thought I would pull the motor when I was changing the tranny. Their would be next to nothing holding it in. At that point I can change seals check for crap in oil pan screen. I can also re-torque main caps. ( a week spot in the engine)

    Well my priorities have changed. I have convinced my father and a few others to take a 10 day or so trip to Southern Utah. We have not yet started to plan the trip, but we want about 4 or so days on the trail with a few day hikes. I wanted to get a snorkel and turbo set-up first, but now I...

    I also changed my tailgate with a pick-up tail gate. The good: Truck is lighter and I dont use the window in the summer. The handle is on the outside. no more crawling through the blazer to open the door. The gate is removable and make the bed more like a truck. The bad: I can no longer...

    Thanks for your input. I already have a good temperature gauge, and I have plans on getting a pyro gauge. You are right spending 300 plus on a electric pump doesnt warrant spending it on extending a turbos life.

    No,I wasn't going to run an intercooler, however I was thinking on running a separate oil pick-up filter and pump. I would run it on a temperature switch. I got the idea from a oil schematic from an old locomotive.

    Me too I haven't decided how I'm going to that one. I thought of having a piece of pvc pipe like the Humvee or run one the side like a safari. I a can argue either way.

    I already have A Dana 44 for the front and a 14 bolt ff for the rear in 410. I was looking at shaving it, but I dont know how well it would do to not leak. I just dont like the fact their is no bolt holding the bottom half on. I dont plan on lifting it much if any thing. I understand the new...
