problems with my project
I will hopefully have my truck back on the road in a couple of weeks. I have had dothing but problems with it for the last couple of months.
The first problem is sometimes it would only run on like 6 cylinders. I think I have it narrowed down to at least cylinder 7 that isn't firing. When I took the plugs out, gas poured out of that cylinder. Another thing is I am getting alot of gas in my oil. I ordered a rering and bearing kit and will do that. I am also going to have the heads looked at.
Right now, I am in the process of putting a 5 speed trans in it. I have already ripped all the 4wd parts out. I got a clutch pedal from the junkyard. I am going to put a nv3500 trans in it. I have to get the hydraulics and clutch/flywheel for it. I will have to have a driveshaft made, but that isn't a problem.
I am also putting airride on it. I ordered all the stuff and will have it all this week and next. I also got a set of rims from a 00 corvette c5. They are 17x8.5 in the front and 18x9.5 in the back. I have 225/45/17 in the front and 245/45/18 in the back.
I will be laying frame when I get done. I have to do a little cutting on the front and alot of cutting on the back.
I will post some of the pics of the rims on it either tonight or tomorrow.

RE: problems with my project WITH PICTURES
I got the front sitting as low as it will go without cutting. I will probably start that in the next couple of days. The rear frame is just sitting on the axle right now. I have new tires to mount on the front, but haven't done it yet. I still need to go about 3 inches lower to lay frame, which will happen!

RE: problems with my project WITH PICTURES
I did some cutting and the front now is about 1/2" off the ground, but the tires are hitting the inner wheel wells. I don't want to make new wheel wells yet, so that is how it will sit till summer. Then I will get rid of my abs and relocate my computer.
Will try to push it outside today and get some pictures.
