Have you had a chance to figure your gas mileage yet, Just wondering. By the way, 1st class ride.

Anything new?

[rs72z]

Not much. I have been to busy with the boys baseball.

I did get the dana 70 swapped in and the disc brakes installed. I also ordered a aol setup for the rear that should be here tomorrow.

I also have the tailgate about ready to shoot.

B-e-a-utiful truck!

[rs72z]

Thanks

I finished the rear end and disc swap yesterday and got the aol bags installed. We went for a little drive last night, it rides great now. No more tire vibration from the wheels not being centered on the cheap spacers i had on the 14bb.
I need to borrow a pressure bleader to bleed the brakes, they feel like there's still some air in them.
I'm ready to put some miles on her now so i can check the fuel milage.

Good to hear! Drive on up to IN and I'll let you use my power bleeder, lol!!

X2 on the 1st and 2nd question? Thinking of doing the same on my 2wd
1 ton CCSWB project. I want the better ride, but want to keep the stock height and towing capacity.

[rs72z]

Adam & gmmech,
I pulled out 4 leafs leaving 5 total. For now the front will stay static, i need to get the bedliner and a few other things done then maybe bag the front and buy all the parts to go with it.
Adam, i am running a 4l60e trans.

Its friday. Keeping the tailgate lights? I hope so

[rs72z]

Ok guys here's some new pics.

I checked the milage yesterday. It got 17 mpg, not to bad for a 3 ton brick with 4.10 gears.
I still need to install the tailgate band and get new mouldings for the gatea also.

That mileage is freakin awesome!! Trucks looking great also. How do you like the rear discs?

[rs72z]

Thanks. I thought it was pretty good mileage.
The rear disc are awsome so far.

[67cheby]

WOW, beautiful job !

[rs72z]

Thanks

[Dieselwrencher]

Awesome job! It would be hard to cover up such a nice gate!

[rs72z]

Thanks Ryan.

Here's one with the band on, i still need to order the upper and lower mouldings.

[Dieselwrencher]

Man, I think it'll look good with the trim on and the panel off too. But that's just me. That color looks good there. Either way it looks sweet!

[Conundrum]

Truck looks great!
