    New gauges installed.

    Thank you :) I had done the LED bulb and painted the bracket white...it does look good. in my case NONE of my gauges worked. I tried getting them to with little to no success. your tach and gas gauge are sweet btw. I haven't seen that configuration yet. thank you

    New gauges installed.

    I’m not really sure on where to put this thread...so sorry. Maybe it should have been in electrical?? Moving on. After much debate on ripping out my good and intact dash for a DIY4X dash, y’all have convinced me not too. And I’m pretty glad with my decision. I used jegs gauges. It was...

    Cross over steering complete. (10 bolt)

    I will check the clearance when I get home tonight for you...its a few inches for sure right off hand. but don't quote me on that. I did get the raised steering arm (not from ORD) and it seems right. I have custom leaf packs from ORD so I had no choice but to get a raised arm. how thick are...

    Cross over steering complete. (10 bolt)

    thanks for the question... to clarify I meant both actually. the response time is quicker for sure. and more accurate. but I did a series of turns and figure 8's before I did the swap sure enough it turns a tighter radius. now here the thing....I did an axle swap at the same time so there may...

    Cross over steering complete. (10 bolt)

    good morning...sorry for the delay....work is stupid busy lately. so update, I am use to the added sway now and isn't a big deal. some of the added "sway" I was feeling was from the worm gear on the rebuilt gear box being to tight. so I loosened is up a bit and viola...she rides great now...

    ORD Custom Springs

    ORD custom springs are the only way to go. they are everything they claim to be. I'm running the 6" springs and it rides smoother than ANY truck I have ever owned. the end.

    getting the heater back to working

    oh man, I could write a book on all the electrical crap the previous owner rigged up. I have been since then trying to sort them out one by one. so I'm ready to tackle the heating. I have so many questions. the truck originally came with AC. it is missing the compressor and some plumbing and...

    Loosing 12v when key turns to crank

    thanks for the replies yall, I took the day off work and started testing everything. after about an hour of probing I decided to change out the ignition switch....it is now alive. crazy and a huge coincidence it failed the day after I installed new gauges and redid a lot of wiring to basically...

    Loosing 12v when key turns to crank

    No start update. I tested for 12V (with key turned to ACC) at the ignition spot at the fuse panel. I do indeed have 12 v. Then I checked for 12v going into the ignition switch (not the cylinder but the actual switch). I do have 12 v. When I turn the key to crank, I lose the 12v to the...

    14 bolt finally going in.

    I didn't do anything for the porprtioning valve. lugnut4x4.com claims there is no need for one if you are using there jb6 calipers. time will tell but my immediate impression is that it brakes better than ever

    14 bolt finally going in.

    Well I finally had a weekend to myself. Couldn’t find a tire shop open on Sunday to change out my rims for me so I went old school on them. Lol. I threw balance beads in them as well. I love those beads man. So simple and eliminates the need for a tire shop. Sent from my iPhone using...

    3/4 ton suspension question

    yes there is. because your truck is set up for towing and its diesel (converted to 350?) you should call Stephen Watson at off road design. don't just order whatever you see on there website. its much easier to spend that kind of money if you can hear someone explain to you why there custom...
