    1996 Silverado 6.5 Duramax swap

    So for anybody that is interested in doing an SAS swap on their 88-98 Tahoe/burban/Silverado; I highly suggest the off road design kit. The entire kit is completly bolt on. No welding or fabrication at all just drilling holes. It includes all the hardware needed to install it other than the...

    1996 Silverado 6.5 Duramax swap

    The guys over at transfercase express are extremely knowledgeable and easy to talk to. There's 2 locations back easy in north Carolina I think and Oakland California. The way they delivered and built the case it's completely drop in ready just at fluids. For the guys with 02 and up trucks they...

    1996 Silverado 6.5 Duramax swap

    hey ferm from looking at the position of the dmax in the engine bay of your burban, if the engine was set farther back roughly 2 or 3 inches and down 1-2 inches do u think it would clear LLY or later or aftermarket exhaust manifolds to the steering shaft?

    1996 Silverado 6.5 Duramax swap

    the axle would be an easy swap and the duramax wouldnt have to be moved after. i just dont like the stock crossmember and ifs tabs all over the place. if im cutting it out in the near furture anyway why not just chop it out now and make the crossmembetr that i want. thats what i was thinking...
