Mr Gasket makes some thin ones. Just make sure your lugs are long enough.- Craig 85

Which dually - 8.1 vs pre-DEF 6.6?
One thing to remember in all this @Frankenchevy lives in California and whether it’s gas or diesel he probably won’t be able to tune it. I left CA 3.5 years ago and emissions have only gotten worse since leaving. My understanding is if you do have a tune, it has to be a CARB approved tune...- Craig 85

Which dually - 8.1 vs pre-DEF 6.6?
@Frankenchevy there’s always this option. 8.1L. https://trucksales.uhaul.com/Vehicles/Details?postal=94518&sid=815064&equip=JH1707B- Craig 85

Which dually - 8.1 vs pre-DEF 6.6?
I've had three 8.1's. Loved them all. The one thing I will say is make sure it has 4.10 gears (GT5). My favorite of the 3 was this '01 2500HD. I had 285 tires, true dual exhaust, a K&N cold air kit and a Hypertech chip (that's all they had back in '03). It ran great. I could pass people on...- Craig 85

Tire/wheel recommendations
Sorry late in the game here. The grey/silver truck was my '79 K15 that came with an old/stiff Rancho 4" lift. Back then it was wearing 15x10" wheels with 33x12.50x15's. The front fenders were trimmed when I purchased the truck. I went to a 4" Tuff County EZ Ride lift when I did the 3/4 ton...- Craig 85

2000s hydroboost into a square
Since someone posted on this old thread I’ll add some more info I’ve learned. Not sure if it will work on a Square Body though. The original post was asking about putting on a GMT 800 series hydroboost. I’m part of a couple Suburban 2500 groups. Quite a few guys have switched over to a 2011...- Craig 85

Need H6 AC compressor brackets for 454
The brackets I purchased are designed for a Sanden (508 in my case) compressor. Although the HR6 is similar in size I don’t think the it would work with my brackets. -

Tire Size for K10 Heavy Half
Those wheels look like a 16" wheel, not the standard 15" that would be on it from the factory. If that's the case you could probably run a 285/75R16. Those are only 32.8" tall and about 10.5" wide. If you have an 8" wide wheel or less it shouldn't rub.- Craig 85

Hello From NorCal
You have a California HD emissions truck, so no cats. Just make sure all the vacuum lines are connected correctly and all the parts on the air cleaner sticker are in place or you will fail. Check the timing too. FYI look at your fill pipes. They are probably larger diameter than the standard...- Craig 85

What is this side duct for?
The snorkel tube attaches to it. I had to use this silicone tube as an extension as the they don't reproduce the BBC version. I also cut the cap off mine so it works more as a ram air. I don't forge water, so I'm not worried about water.- Craig 85
