    Has anyone gone to 3.73 final drive?

    I'e been looking at the two options of 4.10 and 3.54, one is great on the highway, the other is best for everything else! Has anyone spent the money to move over to 3.73? It' a bit of an average closer to 3.54 with a little better pull out power. Or, I could just keep 2 sets of axles around...

    Super duty seats, low back?

    I came across some super duty seat instilations and liked the concept, not so much the one piece design. Then I found this. Black seats, first collum, second row from the top, what trim was this out of...

    E4od, bullet proof rebuild kit?

    I tore my transmission down down longer ago than I will admit in public, at the time I purchased a rebuild kit from Napa auto parts thinking it would be a temporary solution before a zf5, I changed my mind and want room stick with the auto. In diging around there isn't much information on...

    OBDII programer for my my for 6.5td

    I'd like to get reasonable power from my '96, and no, the factory 175hp/350tq isn't there, so the first step will be a good crossover pipe and 4" exhaust, but I need to reprogram the computer it seems. I have read Heath Diesel has their stuff together, but it looks like $500-600 and a custom...

    Oops, got a 96 burb

    After a bit of searching and without any conclusive evidence I decided there were no 92-93 diesel suburbans, and every local example was priced like a 4 year old car. On a recent trip to Seattle I accidently looked at craigslist and found a fairly nice one owner 96, the price was right and it...

    Long cranking before starting 93

    Do IDIs have a fuel system check valve? My ambulance takes 30-45 seconds of cranking before it fires up, hopefully it has an easy fix, once it fires up it runs great, at lweast at idle, transmission to come soon.

    For some reason I can't seem to attach a photo, but I got a van with a squishey transmission and want to drop in a 5 speed, my understanding is that all vans are the same and the 1992 change was just a skin replacement, the windshield looks similar to my 86 van, standard transmission vans seem...

    Who has a high output N/A engine?

    I'm thinking of typ4 cam, headers, good 3 inch manderal bent exhaust, mild port work. Why? Why not! It should have enough power and be a little different than the more agressive engine I'd like to drop in my future 4 door bronco.

    Show me your sharp brick nose dashes

    I'm not sure what I'll do with my bricknose dash, it isn't my favorite design, I'd love to see what you all have done to tidy it up or accent it. I always feel like the top of the passenger side is missing, perhaps a dodge stole it?

    1/2 ton VS 3/4 ton TTB compatibility questions

    I'm converting a 2 wheel drive truck to coil sprung TTB, does anyone have experience with such a project? I think I can use the 3/4 ton arms and 1/2 ton 4x4 radius arms with the diesel 4x2 coil springs. Hopefully I'll get a softer rde and better turning radius, but with the 4x4 parts still in...
