Congrats! Cool old truck. Just picked up a square bodied dually myself. Any special or outrageous plans for it?

BowtieBrains · 07-31-2017, 09:21 PM

Nice! I've got a few plans, I'm leaning hard on a 12 valve Cummins swap, lowering it some or maybe air suspension, 22" wheels. Id like to do some interior stuff but I'm not sure what yet. I don't know if I want to swap in some newer style seats or get the current ones redone. I think it will be cool to have a small audio system and a fold down tv/DVD player from the headliner for my girls to watch when we cruise.
I'm planning on making this truck like I want and keeping it the rest of my days.

Sounds pretty cool. My brother is an ace diesel tech and has already been after me BAD about doing the Cummins swap. I've had the truck a month haha. I think I'm staying with later OE style wheels and going static drop with a 6.0 LS. They sure do look mean when they're close to the ground!

congrats bowtie on the purchase...glad it went to a good home. ..and thanks for the follow up..a lot of craigslist ads get posted on here but you don't see many that get bought by a member..sounds like a good plan..
I thought long and hard on doing a duramax swap in mine but wound up going lq9 6.0 due to the extreme cost of diesel engines..

This is true. Diesel engine is expensive. Engines alone around here are $1500 and up. Then a trans, controller, and other parts. I'm only thinking Diesel for the power and torque and the fuel mileage. Knocking down 20-24 mpg in that big truck will be nice!

What kind of fuel mileage are you getting with the 6.0? My dad said that's what I should do since I know more about LS engines and I can work on them and stuff. I have a 01 Camaro SS with a built 410 iron block stroker making 600hp to the crank and 520 to the tires. So I know my way around ls engines pretty good.

**mongocanfly** · 08-03-2017, 09:01 PM

that camaro sounds like a fun ride...my truck gets around 16mpgs if I drive it normal (hard to do)..it dynoed at 345hp and 365 torque ...I've got anv4500 and 4.10 gears...if ida found a diessl for 1500 I would have given it more thought...the d-maxs I looked at were north of 6gs..closer to 10k for some...I regularly pull a loaded trailer that grosses at 9000lbs..handles it well..
