Time for some love...

[Truckin4life]

Well hopefully if the weather clears up tomorrow i can start in on my "to do" list...
Along with what NEEDS to be done. I want to do throw in a few add on...
Im lookin for some more power out of the truck...
Im thinkin gt-40 heads and a cam...

I am going to build this as a multi purpose rig...
It will play in the mud and on the trails, but it will have to get me arouhnd town and to work also...

Atleast until i get a dedicated pavement pounder or a dedicated wheelin rig....

So some suggestions would be good guys...

For reference....
95 250HD 351W zf5 ex-cab long bed 4x4....
Headers and exhaust are already done too..

Lets here some reasonable idea's and i am eevn down for reading some not so crazy idea's as well... If i like it enough i might give it a try...

1.7 rockers?

 

[Truckin4life]

Good idea skan, but i have been told. they dont work so well with cam upgrades...
To much lift i belive?

 

[Skandocious]

MAF conversion? Underdrive pulleys?

 

[Truckin4life]

i will have to research the maf conversion....
Underdrive pulleys... being considered....

Keep em coming...

 

[Skandocious]

What gears are you running? Lower gears will help get the new-found power back to those big 37's

how bout a lift? nothing crazy but lifting it up a bit will help a lot.

billet grill?
cab visor?
vent visors
truck toolbox(too hold the stuff like high lift jack, some tools, rope, straps etc.)
mag light mount in the truck
fire extinguisher mounted in the cab
cb radio
cup holders (haha)
off road lights either mounted on the grill guard or a light bar with the offroad lights on the roof


those are mine for now....only reason i know those is because thats all the things ive done to my truck haha (except the billet grill which im working on getting, and the lift which im also working on)

Why would you have 3 E fans?

 

[89frankenford]

just in case the first 2 die on him

 

[flareside_thunder]

the Underdrive pulleys are definately worth it......you have to be careful about how high of a lift you run with rollersrockers...IIRC .488 is the highest you can go without PV clearance issues so go a little lower....you could go GT40 heads but you can always have your stockers ported and they'll flow pretty dang good.I've been told to run 460 injectors as well seeing as the stockers range anywhere from 20 to 27 lbs.

Hey check your love box.

Hey check your love box.

That sounds nasty Cliff...

 

[Truckin4life]

E-fans will be done. For the simple fact that i can turn them off when the mud or water gets deep...

Ive got the stock 4.10 gears, im not to terribely sure that i want to change them though... If i do it would be to a 4.56 but that will wait until I either swap in a 60 or decide to build a different wheelin rig.

The billet grill is a negative... Good idea, but visual mods that i do would involve blacking out the truck...

Already got the tool box...




Just an idea guys...
For those that have fire extinguishers inside there cabs...
In the likely hood that you have a fire your first instinct will to be get out of your truck... Correct?
So now your outside your now burning truck, and where is your fire extingusher? In the burning truck... Doing nothing but getting burned...

Another thought... What if your crusin down the highway, clippin right along at 70 and you drop something causing your extingusher to go off? Not only will you instantly lose all vision, but also your ability to breath... Not a good thing... Yea that wont happen if the safety pin is there. But they do come out on accident...

Keep your extingushers out of the cab, for safety reasons...

Thanks for the idea's guys... Keep em coming.. .

Mine's back in the toolbox

 

[Truckin4life]

Well mine was mounted inside the bed. But a night of drunken fun and i no longer have it...
But i do need to get a new one... Its on the list already.

 

[Ridgerunner]

That sounds nasty Cliff...

You're just mad cause you ain't got one.

 

[Truckin4life]

i got the reference cliff... thanks... lets see how long it takes the others...

 

[89frankenford]

actually if your truck is on fire THAT much that little fire extinguisher wouldnt do anything...the reason why i have it there in the cab is for engine fire that are small to moderate...when im driving its right there easy to grab.
