@n8in8or any chance you remember the part # for the QA1 tie rod sleeves used on "Krovvy?" Looks like a great upgrade to stock. I tried looking on QA1's website but they don't have an option to select a k2500 for cross reference, and over the phone I was told the only sleeve they have in 11/16"...

@drag sgt there are some unicorn knuckles from the early NBS ('99-'01 or something like that) from Non- HD 2500 trucks where the factory GMT400 tie rods will fit and the only reaming needed is for the ball joints. Hard to say what the wrecker yard will have until you get your hands on it. If...

This is the best of my knowledge, but not gospel, so verify via your own measurements if you think you find a match the GMT400 88-98 platform had different cab and interior modifications over the years, but as far as I know the frames should be the same for each series. The GMT400 also ran into...

I dig the extra protection for the cooler 👍 for my dump truck I'm going to experiment with the Duramax LB7 radiator and charge air cooler in the stack. Want to have the fan pulling air through the CAC at all times and to have shorter piping from turbo to intake. Granted the engine will have...

Any interest in a centermount? Given your fab skills and the extra room in a squarebody I'd put money on you making it happen 🤘

The fellow I use is a Mennonite, so I don't know if he'd use anything digital anyways. I can give you his physical mailing address if you want to send a copy of the test results. He does use the phone so you could call him first to see if he'd work for your needs, just let me know.

Do you have test results you'd like help interpreting, or something else? I have a guy out here who I would send my samples to, he'd use a lab out in Ohio, Brookside labs, and then after getting the results back he'd come up with custom fertilizer blends for each sample. I'd do two separate...

I can't say from personal experience, but I know the specific tolerances of gear lash and whatnot are very important so if you're able to measure such things and/ or am not intimidated by them wouldn't hurt to try! What are you going to do for onboard air? Also here's a link to the installation...

Factory should be fine, if you want extra insurance have Chris coat it like he does radiators and A/C condensers

Are you using the water or solvent based undercoating? I couldn't find much on the differences/ benefits between the two.

I'll chime in from personal experience that the head coating makes a massive difference. My P400 heads don't have the EGR ports filled as it was not an option at the time my engine was built, but the runners and chambers are coated. Current engine that Chris is building for my dump truck is...

I've had great success with these zip ties. UV resistant and they do last at least several years if not longer in the field. https://www.bestdeerfences.com/product/10-inch-black-nylon-zip-lock-ties/

I didn't know it was required/ there was consensus that rear disc brakes require the 3500 HD master cylinder. Rear disc brake kits that convert drum 14 bolts don't say anything about needing to change the master cylinder, but I acknowledge there may be a difference in swapping to the 11.5 AAM 14...

you can get 10% concentrated vinegar from home depot, I think the name is "green gobbler", using just that will kill weeds without any real long term effects. Vineyards out here use it as an organic alternative to the cancer that is glyphosate/ roundup I wouldn't go the salt and vinegar route...

I got this flame weeder back in 2016, longer handle than the one you linked. Back then it was only $57, damn inflation https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00004Z2FP/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1 If birds are a problem best to use row cover/ bird netting/ insect netting as a...

I just found this on propagating hazelnuts https://www.midwesthazelnuts.org/uploads/3/8/3/5/38359971/propagating_your_own_hazelnuts.pdf It looks like freezing them maybe wasn't the best route as the file suggests the fridge. How were the nuts stored in the freezer? If just in a bag the freezer...

I was going to guess it was on the output shaft. I mentioned it in another thread but there's an upgrade from that c-clip/ snap ring that I elected to install when I did my case. It replaces that clip with a heavier duty snap ring. Probably not necessary for your use, but seems like a good piece...

@Big T will you include the GMT800 axle swap in this thread or elsewhere? Don't want to clutter up your thread, but would definitely like to see the process and small details of that swap too

Very nice! I missed the original thread, sounds like you have it all under control. Did you modify the axle yourself? Is the yoke on the 800 plug and play with the 400 driveshaft?

From what I've read on the interwebs the spring perches on the GMT800 need to be modified/ relocated to fit the GMT400 frame. It's not a bolt in swap
