I'm considering a purchase of a 2000 crewcab dually that currently has a flatbed on it. For my needs, the added width of the dually would actually be a problem, but I could live with it for a while if need be. I'm wondering what it would cost to find SRW axle and install it?
I'd be working in my driveway, so I'm also curious on the difficulty of such a project, and what parts of the process should be left to a good mechanic with the appropriate tools. I'm very mechanically inclined, but I'm limited to an impact, wrenches, sockets, stick welder, angle grinders, and the all important hammer... I've done most of the work to my '93 over the years, but bigger repairs (swapping gears, new front axle, anything injector/fuel related beyond filters and returnline kits) I've delegated to a mechanic. Some times do to a lack of tools, some times do to a lack of facilities, and sometimes do to a lack of time. Since I'm keeping the '93, I'll have the time to do the work, and I'm confident that mechanically I'm up to the task, but I've never done it and I need an idea of what I would be signing up for before I go spending any $$.
Thanks,
Mark
