Lowered 4x4 Reg. Cab Dually in the works

Since this got bumped back up. How difficult was the IP swap? Would like to swap my entire interior to a LTZ
This white dually is the last lowered dually he had. He really liked it, and I think he wanted the same thing but faster with a more durable transmission (this one was a 2wd gasser). The front is DJM arms, lowering keys, and lowering spindles.
The rear is an axle flip (leaf springs under the axle instead of over) and a notched frame.
That truck belonged to a kid I went to school with named Darryl for awhile, he had it 18 hours and blew the supercharged 5.3l then swapped a junk yard 6.0l into it and put the supercharger back on it then blew that about 2 months later. I believe he ended up trading it for a 350z. I looked at buying it after he blew the 6.0 to swap a dmax in but it had too may issues for me. It was a good looking truck though and pretty nasty when it was running
He got his exhaust finished up like he wanted it yesterday. Also have some 40% tips on the way. Here are a few pictures of the new exhaust.
Looks sick :thumb: I'd give my left nut for it lol
I really have no idea what all is involved. I wasn't part of that.
I heard about the 5.3 getting blown. I didn't know he blew up a 6.0 also though. Sounds like operator error. Those motors are pretty tough.
Combination of things blew the 6.0. #1 he never had it tuned. #2 the oil pressure gauge always read low on the 6.0 and he had someone hook up a mechanical gauge to it and they said pressure was fine, idk. But yes operator error was the biggest issue, I never saw him leave a redlight straight :rofl:
