    stock front drive shaft and lift

    on an 87 4x4 short bed, how much lift can a stock drive shaft support without needing to be modified? No hard wheeling just a little fun. 4speed manual and a NP208.

    What radiator are you using for the 5.3

    As the title suggests what radiator are you using? Putting a 5.3 with electric fan or fans in a 87 V10. Thanks!

    A very expensive and dumb mistake (update I was wrong)

    Talked to the original owner of the rear end. Said it was perfectly normal to be offset by that little bit. No issues at all when he ran it on his K30. Same transmission and transfer case. Just got to use the bastard u joint in order for my driveshaft to work properly. Bucket you were right!!

    A very expensive and dumb mistake (update I was wrong)

    It would be way off center. This rear came out of a 03 2500 I believe. The yoke and pinion are off set instead of centered like I need. I don’t know what I was thinking. I had no idea it was like this.

    A very expensive and dumb mistake (update I was wrong)

    finally mocking up the drivetrain after setting the engine transmission and transfer case and then I saw it. I guess I just got excited about doing a one ton swap into my 87 square and just simply bought the wrong rear end. I already have 5.13 gears, arb air locker and disc brakes.the spring...

    Who's long tube headers are you guys using for your 4x4 swap?
  7. Ole Buck

    For you LS swap guys.

    find you a 2003 Yukon with a L59 flex fuel. An absolute simple swap. No dod/afm crap, just set it and forget it.

    LS timing chain and gear

    I did find an answer. It's an upgrade kit in case you want to drill and tap your block and add this chain tensioner/slack killer hot mess of nothing. Stock is absolutely ok with me.

    heads are at the machine shop, Gasket question and my new cam

    I have been told several times to get the best gasket set you can for an LS. Now in my day Fel-Pro was that the bees' knees when it came to gaskets. What's "the best" gasket set now? My new cam; Texas Speed Stage 4 Truck Cam223/226 TSP .660 Dual Spring Kit w/Titanium Retainers One piece seat...

    15 and 16 inch tire choices

    I am trying my best to keep the big tire small wheel look. Is it my searching skills or are we very limited in the 15/16 wheel tire choices? My build is for 38's on 8.65 bolt pattern. I want the Mickey Thompson Classic wheels in 15 or 16 but It seems like it's either a Super Swampers or a Toyo...

    Fuel Pump Question

    I have a L59 flex fuel for my truck. My tank is a Boyd welded tank that has the 12 bolt style flange for the pump. Most stock pumps have the ring/neck locking style. So, what style or brand of pump would work/fit my new shiny tank that i should have thought about before I bought the damn thing...

    LM7 or L59?

    I have this in the Under Construction section as well. Here are the fuel injector connectors. I say it's the L59 flex fuel version of the 5.3, this came out of an 03 Yukon. 144,000 miles. Am i correct in saying this or am i way off the charts?

    Keep Manual shift for the LS or swap in an auto?

    Holy cow! Lots of information there, so with that being said I believe that I will find me an NV 3500/4500 so i can at least have an OD/5th gear and just leave well enough alone. I must realize that this is going to be a big truck with beefy parts and few hundred horsepower and not a...

    Keep Manual shift for the LS or swap in an auto?

    14 bolt full floater with 5.13 gears and the front Dana 44 will have the same. Tires will be no smaller than 37's. Open book here, I am building a beast but it will see way more asphalt than it ever will see the woods. manual is fine and i like going through the gears but i believe that i would...
