Went to a local pull tonight and got my first WIN I got 4th in the 2.6 class out of 10 trucks and I got 1st in Workstock out of 6 trucks and a friend of mine has been doing a duramax swap sled puller and he finally got it done this morning he has put alot of hard work in this thing but had some bad luck with the valve body in his trans truck will start in first then make a pop and go to 3rd so he give it a try anyways but it is hard to move that sled in 3rd gear

Congrats!!!

Please tell me you have waaaay more details on your friends conversion?!?!

Well I can give you some more but it really wasnt hard the truck is a 85 1/2 ton 4x4 and he just welded some motor mounts to the stock half ton frame and boxed the frame in the engine fit right in there perfect the allison feel right in place as well but had to do some fab work for the cross members fuel lines he got off of a wreak dmax and he cut them down to fit with the stock gas tank on the truck the 150 airdog really helped on the stock fuel tank axles are dana 60 4.10 gears had to have a shop build a custom drive shaft so it would make it legel to drive on the road brakes are stock for right now but them trucks have a weird master cyclinder so he is gonna do some upgrades on that but the biggest trick to the whole thing was to use the dmax steering wheel and cluster I can PM you his number if you want me too I know he will be more than happy to help u with your build

Sharp truck!

What is in it for a transfer case? Does it have the speed sensor hooked up if it is a manual case? Reason I ask is it looked like my old orange truck our first pull. Wouldn't rev for shit.:D

It does have the manual shifter and the sensor is hooked up but I just got of the phone with him and he said he dropped the valve body and reinstalled everything again and said it does perfect now we are building weight rack for it because it is only 5700 lbs so we are going to another pull this saturday so I will give yall a update
