TOW RIG OVERHAUL! 2nd time... diesel swap

[moremudd]

My opinion is that the weak link will be the u joints before the differential , but you would still need to be pretty rough on it to have those kinda problems , that differential is pretty tough . my buddies dad runs stupid amounts of boost and has only had troubles once with the drive line and it was just because he had a u joint go bad because of neglect , and one carrier bearing failure because the wheels hopped leaving the tree .

I'm sure is a robust rear end. I didn't mean it like it won't hold. I just meant it as in if something where to fail under stress, that would be my bet. I didn't think about universals but I'm 99%sure I will need an all new driveshaft so if I were to have one built, a more stout setup would be an option at that point.

Everything about this truck will meet class 4 or class 5 if the build goes the way I'm planning it.

Again, making it a pickup, average Joe's won't know what it really is unless they count the lug nuts...

295/75R22.5s or 255/70R22.5s?

Both are technically too big for this truck but they've both been done on pickups... cut and fab will be needed if I don't want to lift...

Just thinking now. Still no time for it. House ain't done but my note pad is filling up...
