Ever wanted a car back?

[Woods Racing Transmission]

I like your style Bryan. I'd love to have a clone with the drivetrain out of Hebert/McKinney's trucks... Will the diesel/Allison fit in that little truck?!

It will fit but the floor pan will hit the transmission. Duramax with a 4L80 is what most people do. Just have to keep the D-max at stock HP levels. Unless you have deep pockets for tranny mods.

Cool! So what motor came out of the truck????

[BttleFedC10]

I robbed the kit off the 05 truck that was my parts truck. McGaughys lowering kit, from and rear leaf spring hangers, and a spring. I kept the stock springs so I can get a spindle later. I hate the ride of a spring. It's a 4/5 drop....I think.

Soo you rather buy the spindles and keep the stock springs? I was getting a kit that came everything but the spindles. It was a 4/5 kit too. I was thinkin 2 1/2 spindles with the 4/5 kit? Hopefully no c-notch will be required?

It's not required, but it needs it in my opinion. I kept the overload spring in as well. The spindle is a much better ride, hands down with out a doubt. If you can't as low as you want, use a lower control arm as well.

A 4.8, 230,000 miles to boot!

Well shit, that defeats the purpose... Stock diesel. Booo

[OrangeChevyII]

Did you sell the other bed?

It was to rough to repair, it went with the other truck.

Stock D-max less 2000lbs or so = fun.

LOL, it didn't look THAT bad. At least compared to what I'm working with right now...

Would you do the spindle and lowering spring or just spindle and stock spring?

[naynay]

still got the 4.8??

[OrangeChevyII]

Spindle and stock spring
