Re: My crewcab 4x4 cummins project
Looks nice! I used por15 cjassis coat on my Longhorn. I did the front frame in August, and it still shines nice. I figured it wouldn't last much longer than the regular stuff, but it has.

Re: My crewcab 4x4 cummins project
Woo finally looking like its getting somewhere... Gotta get all the stuff ordered for the diffs going stock in the front maybe with an axle upgrade and 4.56 gears . The rear is going to get a Detroit tru track with 4.56 as well. Need to find one new shackel hanger for the front... Bushing pounded out the mount so I cut them off... Anyone know if a guy can find new ones or is this a junk yard deal?

Re: My crewcab 4x4 cummins project
Got the front all blasted and painted and for the most part together... Just have to throw the axles in n spindles n brakes... Then it will be time for the back... I managed to find a good set of shackel mounts for the front blasted n painted n bolted them on ... I didn't want to spray the leaf springs but the dull black just doesn't look as nice as the frame so I guess ill do them aswell

Re: My crewcab 4x4 cummins project
Question for anyone who has changed out there wheel studs. I'm looking for an extra 1/2" longer wheel stud for my front diff. Just want a little more thread for when the wheels get bolted on... This is all I need for the front and it will be done
Started on the rear it is all painted now and cleaned out... Apparently the 14 bolt in my truck has a one year pilot bearing for the pinion support that is now discontinued so after looking and calling around I managed to find one which should be hear today. Then all I need is the rear drums to show up and the rear diff will be finished... Posted via Mobile Device

Re: My crewcab 4x4 cummins project
Looks like you are making lots of progress on your truck! Hey just wondering if you have any pics of your rear driveline setup with the crossmember and carrier bearing in place? I am building an 86 crew cab thats going from 2 wheel drive to 4 wheel drive. It didnt have any drive train in it when I bought it and I think it had an aux overdrive in it at one time. I dont have any driveline or the crossmember for the carrier bearing so I was wondering what the crossmember looks like and where its located on the frame.
Thanks, Mike in Idaho |

Re: My crewcab 4x4 cummins project
Yeah I didn't want to go the factory 2.5 stud I wanted to go at least 3 inches overall I might end up putting the factory ones in for the time being seeing there's still lots of time before this trucks completed... I finally got my discontinued pinion pilot bearing... Yucky 120 bucks... Another problem I ran into my eaton posi unit the factory bolt are to short to go threw the carrier into the ring gear so now I have to try n track those down... Yay one thing after another.

Re: My crewcab 4x4 cummins project
I put longer wheel studs on my chevy axles on my 84 3/4 ton cause the aluminum wheels needed the extra length. Go online and look up the dorman wheel stud catalog. Has everything dorman makes with specs and pics. I went a good 1/2 inch longer front and rear.

Re: My crewcab 4x4 cummins project
Got a few odds and ends done the motor is tore apart as far as I'm going to go... Basically short block got it all cleaned up and sprayed black... Heads all tore apart gonna clean it up stick new valve seals in it and spray it... Then tweak the injection pump a bit and so on and so forth...pick away... Waiting to get a new proportioning valve and start doing brake lines get the plumbing in the frame done anyways... The diffs killed my bank account so I'm working with everything I have which will keep me busy for a while yet
