Finally getting far enough to start a build thread I believe. Let me start by saying that I should have payed off my mortgage instead of building this truck but what the hll. I have done everything myself up until the engine swap that is going on right now, knowing that I would forget where all the wires and lines went to. I bought the truck stock with 39000 miles or so. I am at 55000 now.
So here we go. I will get pictures up soon.
Motor:
I bought from a member here as a fresh longblock. Basically, I am just using the short block, since my truck is a low mileage southern truck and has very minimal rust or corrosion on any of the aluminum.
.020 over HD delipped and coated w/ flycuts
Midwest heads- new valves, HD chromoly retainers, springs, and pushrods
Midwest cam
No Limit Extreme Studs
Ported fuel rails
New oil pump
Billet waterpump from Bulletproof
New oil cooler
Used 60% injectors I got from a member here.
Midwest dual fueler. I am putting my current pump back in the valley of the new motor and taking that pump and hanging it up front.
No limit intake and cold side pipe
Alradco intercooler
Alradco radiator
Side action fuel bowl ******
Fuelab lpfp from SAD
Sxe369 single kit from midwest
Ported intake manifold from RCD
Stainless coolant lines from RCD
Elite uppipes I got from a member
6.0 exhaust manifolds coated
Tial Wastegate
5" flo pro with 6" axle dump. Thought it was different but realized everyone has it now. I have an idea though!
Valve covers, dual fueler pulley, and oil filter housing powdered shocker yellow. Basically green.
Transmission:
Zf6
Sbdd 3650
Midwest transmission short throw
Custom driveshaft
Suspension:
PMF 9" coilover lift w/ long arm 4 link
King shocks anodized black
Custom sway bar
Custom trackbar because I can build one for way less than $800
Powdered dark gray
Fuel rampage 20x12 gray centers
38x15.50 toyo mt's
Stock 3:73 gears for now. Planning on 4:11s with a locker in the rear
Warn lockout hubs
G2 diff covers
Exterior:
LED headlights from the diesel cartel
eBay switchbacks
LED lights in mirrors, headlight reflectors, cab lights, and reverse lights.
Smoked brake lights. I don't like the look of the recons
Headlights off eBay. $112 and they have been great. Ordered some painted ones 18 months ago and still haven't received those. They know who they are.
Painted fender vents and mirror caps.
CTS emblems in grey and silver
ADD venom front bumper on the way. Gonna get painted to match the dark grey
Rigid DOT fogs
Rigid flush mount reverse lights
Rigid 20" for front bumper
12" high strip of 3M clear guard down rockers
Bakflip g2 bedcover
Bedrug. The dogs don't slide around
OUO 11.5" drop receiver
I will keep adding as I go. I don't have any plans to pull a sled but might run it down the strip twice a year. On tune, intake, exhaust, stock height and stock clutch slipping, I went 14.4 at zmax. See what it does in October this year.
Thanks to all the vendors and members that have gotten me what I need:thumbup:
