Not to derail, but Jesus.....how do you get in that thing, I'm assuming you're talking about the truck in your avatar.....

Build is looking good cory. Hopefully I can contribute by finding you a deal on tires.

This is really cool and something I'd love to do someday, I'm glad your taking the time to keep this updated! Great job, I still can't figure out why I didn't subscribe sooner.
I'm also a little disappointing you didn't use a mechanical DT466.

Weight and lack of upgrade parts would be my guess, either way that thing is gonna be fun!!

Lack of upgrade parts? Those things can be way nastier than a 5.9, but weight or cost would make sense.

Cory S · May 6, 2012

Main reason is weight second we can meet our horsepower goal more easily with the cummins with the abundance of aftermarket stuff for them. But mainly weight was the number one reason!! I am in ga right now driving back from il so if I have the energy I will be back on it Tom! Got about 7k worth of susp parts and transfer case to order Tom our other coilovers the guy backed out!!

Looks awesome I am working on building a bumper right now out of 1/4in plate. Its alot of work so much grinding from using a torch and a stick welder.
