I did a bunch of searching and couldn't find an answer. I would much prefer to use golf cart batteries but my batteries will be in an enclosed space with minimal ventilation in a trailer. They will be sharing space with bins of equipment and clothes in an aluminum box. I would also like to...

That axle looks to me like it is not original and much wider than what it would have come with. The springs don't ;look to be trailer springs to me which is not necessarily a bad thing. If they are not original I would closely look at how well they are mounted. If the box is 4ft wide i think...

my .02 is that it will be very expensive to pay someone to weld on that trailer and you may have trouble finding someone who can weld well. I would try to custom order a steel utility trailer with the specs you are looking for. You may have to go to several dealers to find one who will give...

I looked for a clean rust free 3/4 ton square body for a couple of years before giving up and buying my 99. Once I got used to the creature comforts there was no thought of going back. I am a big believer in straight axles for ultimate durability but I don't need that with the duties my...

If you get the 6.0 tuned please post up the results. I had a 454 in my 99 and am curious as to if the tune in a 6.0 gets it anywhere near that.

When they do it in person do they put it on a dyno? Because of the engine tune and torque management delete was there any concern about the trans handling all the mods?

Thanks I would really like to give that a try but they only have a limited selections of guns that support. If they bring out a p226 version I will give it a try

You can get circular saw blades that will give clean cuts in metal, I like Diablo brand. Sawzall with the longest stroke and good variable speed control, you want slow blade speeds for metal. Many other tools are more useful than a sawzall but there are always cuts that only a sawzall can...

My good friend had a 1/2 ton Suburban the same year as my 04. We swapped vehicles back and forth a few times. I have driven his with and without a trailer, and pulled trailers with and without brakes. I can say that there is no doubt in my mind that the brakes in my 2500 are far more powerful...

Ive owned 3 but still don't understand the ridiculous premium that you claim one pays for a 2500 that you keep talking about, can you please explain it a little more? What makes your 1500 so much better off road that yours can go places that no 2500 could ever think of going? Are you saying...

The accusations that I am basing my statements off of spread sheets, the silliness of bringing a duce and a half into the conversation and implying that the 1/2 ton has better brakes coupled with the statments you made in your original post leads me to conclude that you came in here more...

Kooky Talk. In the series that have been discussed 2500 has stronger frames, much stronger transmissions, much stronger axles, much better brakes, and better coolers for power steering, transmission, and engine. A much easier argument is to point out the silliness of using 1/2 ton gm...

the 6/0 has a lot of pep, I would make sure I needed the 8.1 before buying one. As mentioned before you pay a big gas mileage penalty with one. Stock gearing with 6.0 is 3.73. I think 4.10 was an option and might help with towing. I live in the flatlands and 3.73 works for me towing up to...

I wish someone could come up with a chest rig that would attach to the shoulder straps of your backpack

I am not sure what series they are called but my 99 was a night and day advancement in every way over my square body and my 04 is surprising more competent than my 99. All are 3.4 ton. Whatever series the 04 is they are complete rust buckets compared to the earlier series. They are better in...

Id love to hear ARB's reasoning for selling a hydraulic jack that can't be topped off with fluid.

Buy it Now for 10,900 looks like a bargain to me for all you are getting.

4l80 also came behind diesel vans and used a simple stand alone computer and I believe a TV cable the same as the 700R4. That would be another option besides a non computer version. Back when I was researching this to go completely without a computer the 4l80 would have had a full manual...

The reason I asked these questions is that about 10 years ago I was looking to put a 700r4 behind a low revving high torque motor in a heavy vehicle with no aerodynamics and large tires. Cooler size could have been anything I wanted. I talked to a number of companies and even the ones that...

I would be much more inclined to try to pull the pop up home or put it on a trailer. I would consider putting a pop up camper in the bed of a pickup truck to be a challenge even with a few boxes of rigging equipment, a pile of cribbing, and a forklift. If you are leery of the popups wheel...
