What I really don’t get with these cams (and I want a set) is how they are supposed to be for both NA and blown. Never done them in this truck, but back in my mustang drag racing days, the cams are different to optimize for NA vs forced induction. Kinda like CR. I mean they have a set of 9.0:1...
Thanks. I will for sure
Just going to try to find a donor motor. There is one I saw that says it was hydro locked, but does turn. It’s not apart. So mot sure what the block condition is. Since it’s going to the machine shop, as long as it’s not really damaged bad it’ll be ok. And since I’d def...
Awesome post. Thanks for all the info. I have been wanting to build and engine for something. Might give this a try. But may try and build a bad ass NA motor with high compression pistons and cams. Need to do some research on what’s what and what will be “worth it” and not. Don’t want to go so...
Nice. Are they bright? What projectors did you go with? I have a ton of electrical tools, so that’s easy. Any pics of how it came out? Might be fun. I have my stock headlights along with the old set of raptor retrofits that are in need of refinishing.
What did you end up going with and how do you like them? I have an older set of raptor retrofits that the housing is not as clear an it needs to be and has really cut the output. Trying to decide how to proceed.
Bringing this back up. Again.
For these motors, whats a better way to lift the engine. I have an engine lift, but have only ever pulled engines with are carb style intake that I could bolt a plate too. Just looking at it, not sure where I’d hook the hoist to on the motor since I’m not actually...
About to install my headers. Got a set of used SW headers. Got some heat shedding for the starter and spark plugs.
I plan on just using rtv and/or stock gaskets. Maybe stock bolts, but was thinking about going with some 12pt as they are usually easier to get a wrench on (my experience with the...
I have had both the toyo RT and the nitto ridge grappler. good tires, but it didn't take long with these big heavy trucks for them to wear the big sidewall of a 37 and start riding like crap
I just put a set of General Grabber ATXs on and they are great. The ride is much smoother and although...
Well to bad you sold the truck. You’re just down the road then. Might need some work done on a bed tire rack I have to accommodate my jack, fuel can, parts box.
not sure if your doing side work or not. Or if you want to build another rear dovetail bumper! Lol
I repainted my hood vents when I did the wrap. Need to make time a do the grill
I used SEM trim black. It was something I learned about from one of the best auto paint places in the country when they did my race car years ago. It’s a “spay paint” but a much better quality. I just hit them with...
I like the ride a lot better. It’s more firm. Everything feels more planted. I went from stock to stock shocks with geisers and icon rear leafs. It was better than stock. But the rear still bounced some. Now it’s much more solid. Going to add the leaf to the icons as I’m carrying more in the bed...
I ended up getting the viar 400C OBA system. I wanted to be able to run a few air Tools if necessary. I also got a crazy deal on it, so figured I would go for it

Looking at the 3T myself. With the big wheels. looks like the mount will hold the handles under. So that should mount well on my bed rack. Don’t want to put it on the BuiltRight rack. To heavy to turn on its side.
my older craftsman 3.5T has been good. But it’s at its limit getting the truck...
Had a big couple of days on the truck.
Upgraded to a Rogue Stage 3 and King 3.0s all the way around.
I had bought all the stuff for a brake change and up grading to stainless steel lines just after Xmas, but hadn’t installed them yet. So figured while I was doing everything else I do that...
