    I have seen the impossible!

    I wanted to stop by with my new findings with the 02 hybrid conversion. This winter I did the original lly conversion, with a lot of help from this thread. The truck ran "ok" had lots of rattle and was a bear to drive, but made 511hp on dyno and ran out ok... Well after my wife wrecked her 2.5...

    dual rear setups

    I can get my hands on a bare drw axle but threads are messed up on inside adjusters... Can a guy take the drw hubs off and put them on srw spindles?. Prolly a big difference in bearings but thought I'd ask

    Oil pressure wiring diagram.

    Try swapping in a gm oil pressure sender. That's what fixed the lly I was working on. And that was after the problem persisted after dash rebuild

    Boxing frame

    I think I might get around to the new project this coming weekend. What's everyone using to box frame, 1/8" or 1/4"? I think 1/8" would be plenty but 1/4" might help add belly weight. Thoughts?

    Oil pressure wiring diagram.

    Anyone have one they could post. Got an lly with crazy oil pressure gauge, mechanic gauge reads good pressure 60+. Replaced the sending unit, now chasing wires. Also rebuild dash last week.

    Spun input bearing

    Broke the main shaft on my Trans so I picked up another used trans that supposedly just needed an input shaft bearing. Get it tore apart and find the outer race is spinning in the case... Anyone seen this before? Gunna see if I can have a machine shop build it back up to take a bearing.

    Totaling your truck and dealing with insurance.

    Well all went smooth, they paid A lot more than I expected they would and we got the truck bought back fairly cheap. The rebuild plan is to take the body off my 97 6.5 and put on her frame and continue pulling it

    High powered short coupled trucks should not be taken light heartedly either

    Totaling your truck and dealing with insurance.

    We were on the way to return a customers truck so I was following her and a dodge came up to her and kept passing and blowing smoke on her. And if you all knew my wife you would know no one is gunna show her up. Especially not the queen lol. So she gave it some pedal and the roads were slick...

    Totaling your truck and dealing with insurance.

    So my wife totaled her truck Saturday morning. I've never had to deal with insurance before so while I'm spending all this lovely time in the hospital. Just thought I'd ask if anyone has any experience dealing with insurance and getting your performance stuff back, got several high dollar items...

    Cleaning upper valve covers

    Has anyone figured out a more effective way of cleaning the silicone off? The best way I've found is taking a pick and scraping most of it out of groove then following up with brass wire brush, but it's so time consuming. Anyone have any other tricks?
