All stock outside? A '94 should have fake lug nuts on the wheel center caps.

OK, I forgot, when I bought it it was missing one or two of the factory center caps, so I picked up a set of plastic ones that don't look as good, but at least they match.

Here is mine.

That is probably his Dad's 1996 that he has posted about. It also has the new dashboard so it can't be older than '95


That console doesn't look like mine.

The only truck I've seen as nice as my dad's '96 (leather,CD stock) was justin taylors '96 but he had a leather 60/40 bench no console.

I took the single disc remote player out of mine and put in a 6 disc changer from a newer truck. It plugged into the same cable. The original radio has the changer controls already in it. It did take some hacking though since it is an inch wider.

Here she is towing 11k from St. Louis, MO to Hastings, NE. Truck was still all stock.Edited by: shuck

shuck, so she 'was' all stock? Other than the new wheels, running boards and cab lights right? What have you done to it since, very very nice looking ride BTW. Edited by: Texas Diesel Guy

Mine, all stock.
CD player, AC, Electric Transfer case, all that junk.
http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/uploads/EA4_mini-DSCF0148.JPG

TDG: Thanks =)


Yeah, all stock from a drivetrain perspective, anyway. The clearance lights are actually from the factory (on the RPO list). I added the rack on top when I first got it - you'd be amazed how much use it gets. Wheels and running boards were the previous owner's doing. I think they look great, but that's not something I would spend my own money on. There are also VHF and UHF antennas on there for 2 way radios.


The only mods to it at this point are the pinnacle 4" exhaust system, cat removed, and a K&N air filter (I don't really even consider that a "mod"). I'd like to get an ECM reflash, but until I get gauges installed, it's probably not a good idea.


I'd actually like to put a snorkel on the air intake so it's not down so low - I consider that a major design flaw. I'm not talking restrictor snorkel, I'm talking get your air from above the hood snorkel. Jeepers use them a lot. 16" of water and you hydrolock your engine - bad deal. Not that I make a habit of driving through rivers or anything, but that always makes me nervous. I have a 4x4 truck, I'd like to think 16" of water wouldn't be enough to stop it.Edited by: shuck

By the way, the 11k I'm towing is a Cat 300kw generator. 12.6L 6 cyl diesel engine. I thought about putting a sign on it that said, "check out my electric hybrid vehicle"

I picked up my 68 lincon welder ( copper wind) and put it in the back with that winch once.Edited by: quantum mechanic

WOW


Nice bumper there too. Got another one of them around somewhere

yeah,


I made a monster for the front too. I'm choosing not to use it. It would be fine if I had a dana 60F on coilovers instead of the IFS with it's stiffen it for lift suspension. It would cost the same to the solid axle as the IFS lift.

My New Ride.

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAAAAAAAAAAA


WOW If I had know it would be this good I'd done this exhaust work long time ago. Just picked up my truck after installing 3" out the back no cat no muffler. wow what a difference. I'M Loving it. Road trip tomorrow for fuel mileage check.

Yeah, if your talkng just the sound value for now, its great! This 4" system really hums too.


Let me know if performance has changed too.

Seems to have picked up performance too. No really good 0-60 times to compare but it feels like I use less pedal to maintain speed. And downshifting comes with some real nice sounds too.

Exhaust is the first modafication to make for sure. Everything else depends on it. I had the same "why didn't I do it before?" feeling.

SHUCK! I LOVE YOUR BURB! Absolutely gorgeous! What size are those BFG's, and are they the MT's or AT's?Edited by: w_huisman

w_huisman: Thanks :)

The tires are BFG A/T 265/70/16s - Sam's Club carries them now, which is really nice because they were way too expensive everywhere else. Only problem I have with them is that I haven't been able to get them properly balanced yet - gonna have to take them to a shop with road-force equipment.

-Ryan

How much do they get for them there? I need tires pretty soon.

whatnot: I think they are about $135 each. The big kicker at Sam's is that mounting, balancing, roadhazard, and lifetime rotation and balance is only $9 per tire. It was less than $600 to get all 4 done on my truck.

I don't think I am going to get any that cost that much. I might have to go there and see what else they have.


I just looked at tirerack.com and they seem to be more and they also charge shipping.

whatnot: yup, that's what I 've got. Plus, after you order them from tirerack and after you pay shipping, you still have to pay someone to mount them for you. I think the Sam's club price was actually $153, but I'm not 100% sure now. I'd have to check my receipts. Either way, I thought it was a good deal for those tires.

Here's mine, I was thinking about removing the running boards and adding some weston chrome tube steps later on... As of now, it's got a K&amp;N, ported turbo inlet, 3" straight pipe with no cat. Ive already got gauges and a kennedy boost controller sitting in the garage waiting to be put on.

nice ride spindrift.

Thanks, bowtie. I wish the picture wasn't so fuzzy. Looks better in person, IMHO.

Didn't they make any conversion vans with the 6.5L? My family of four could get bigger in the next few years and It will either be time for the 'burban or a van.


My wife thinks I should weld a van and a 'burban together and make a streach 'burban.Edited by: quantum mechanic

How much do they get for them there? I need tires pretty soon.


If you are looking for a good set of tires for a good deal try Pep Boys if you have one near you. I bought the Futura Dakota LT, 50K tire in a 285 size, for $90 each. They are great. They have nearly identical tread pattern as the BF Goodrich A/T but at only about 2/3 the price. The 265 size is only about $78 each plus $8-9 for lifetime balance and rotation and road hazard warranty is included I think. I already have 10K on my tires and they don't show any wear at all and they look and ride great.

Chevydave,


I ran the dakotas and the bfg and the bfg is a better tire. I blew two of the dakotas on the highway and didn't get much comp. for the tread from pep boys. The BFG has twice the tread and half again as much sidewall.

I too ran both and not much difference to me. I got my tire last time from walmart, only because thats all we have downhere that has a nationwide plan, and as much as I travel elsewhere that nation protection is worth it to me.

nice truck Justin

here my old "baby" a 1982 k1500 6.2 built to always come home, not much could stop her, travel all over the out back of Alaska and always came home. Carried 120 gallons on fuel in 4 tanks mounted on board. I owned it twice, yeap bought it back once myself, The guy that bought it from me was transfered to Montana as an SP, sure would like find her again.
