Thank god for Ashcroft, I will be sending one of my t-cases to them for overhaul. I have been eyeballing their ratio's and for the LS swaps you can also go down to a 0.90 or a 1.00 ratio also.
Don't think I should be going that fast on 37's though. Need to make my engine decision first.
I'm in the same boat right now. I have my D1 powertrain completely stripped at this time and want to repower it. The problem I have found is that the 3 options I am looking at all come in at around the same price L87/8L90, R2.8/TR4050, ACR 4.8 HiTorque/ZF4HP24. All have their advantages an...
Had nearly the same issue with a D1 I just picked up to build. Left it idling while I was shoveling snow, it was deep enough that I did not realize it was still in drive when I got out out of it. Got back in, and got it turned around to get it in the driveway and after shutting it down, I was...
Blows me away what the D1's are fetching now. The only one on CL here in Denver they are wanting 19k for it. Honestly I would be starting the haggling at more like 7k. This is the worst bunch to try to sell to, me included. You will be answering questions all day and make no progress...
I have been looking into it myself. RW Engineering has the bits to do most of the swap. https://rw-eng.com/collections/ls-gen-v . Harness work would be all that is left.
Since I am re-doing my brake system with all Def bits, I was looking at swaping out the M/C with a Willwood tandem 1.125 bore with proportion valve. According to all the measurements and I'm sure a little creativity it should work fine.
It is funny to hear the stories of buying these old trucks. I am on my 3rd D1 and each one has had its issues.
First one I picked up for $1600 after the female wrecked her car. A neighbor that owed me money sold it to me. Very detailed folder with all maint done. Still the drivers door...
If you have a chance, I would like to see a pic of your ABS delete with the Willwood prop valve. Going to do that while I have motor and trans out. My third D1 and I have never had one with the ABS functional. I've wanted to delete the module since my first one. I am going to have air filter...
I have had 3 D1's and all had this problem. When I pulled the PCB (printed circuit board) in the glovebox, the bad solder connection was very obvious. Re-soldered it and never had the problem again. Well, until regulator teeth stripped, then I had to weld on new teeth.
There are plenty of...
I have seen that truck on AT for months. If it wasn't for the ridiculous price I would have inquired because it looks super clean, and with supercharger and 5speed this thing is just asking to grow up into a real boy.
I think your asking price is fair. Court just awarded me $13k in restitution for mine (drunk driver/no insurance). The value of clean, slightly modified D1's is going through the roof. Good looking sled you have there and good luck with the sale.
Will, I would like to get a set of these hoses. Let me know the best and fastest way to do this. Need to go and beat up on the Subaru's this weekend at the ice races.
I checked it out yesterday after I posted and went after the 15 amp fuses and the first one I pulled fixed everything. I just unplugged the harness from the housing until I pick my new one tonight
Backed into a tree yesterday up playing in the snow and drove a branch through my passenger taillight. It blew up the housing, shorting the flat wire connections to the body. I stopped to check it out and low and behold by brake switch would not let me shift out of park. I jumped it to get me...
I am in a non emission county so I pretty much have free reign in what I do ( I could get away with straight exhaust:). The motor is out of an '06 so I dont have to worry about that either. It is kind of nice to just be able to show up at DMV and be registered with no questions.
I got the details on the motor today. It is a LS6 with 42k on it and trans. Motor is spec'd at just over 300hp. If I do not get it my friend wants to put it in his Vette. I think that I need to pull the trigger on this deal and figure out the details before install. If it does not seem...
