Yeah, tell him that AFTER he gets it in!   :D

Hey man, it looks great!  You have been at this for a loooong time 'cause I saw your first postings seems like forever ago.  Congrats!  BTW, it'll be worth changing your gearing around if you want it to feel like it's a little hotter.  That makes a HUGE difference.  Great job!



Thanks everyone!   Yea, this has taken forever for me to do all this stuff but it was a wintertime project and there's no way I'd ever put that truck on the salty roads up here in the winter.  Thank God I hope to move back down to Georgia soon. 


DEFINITELY want to change the gearing on this thing too.  At highway speeds at like 65 to 70 it is only turning about 3000 rpm.  I could stand to sacrifice some top speed for a little more bottom end grunt.  I was waiting to do that until I lift this thing.  That's the next project, to put an 8" superlift on it with new heavier duty axles.
