    High volume oil pumps

    After reading all this I think I'll just go with a good stock pump. Once I have all the leaky gaskets replaced and a new pump I may go up a bit oil pressure wise.

    High volume oil pumps

    That was one of my concerns even though melling claims that will not happen. I'm not in it for "performance " as much as I am into it just to get my 155000 mile motor to last longer by upgrading the oiling system while I'm replacing all the gaskets. The 4.3 is a very low rpm motor which makes me...

    4.3 liter heavy duty version

    My dad worked in construction for some refineries ect and said some of their fleet trucks were 2500s with the v6s. That's why he bought mine with the v6 because they took a lot of abuse and held up well in his opinion. I really like my 4.3 great fuel mileage, I've never had a problem towing...

    4.3 liter heavy duty version

    yes i am aware of that, i am also aware of the f44 rpo code for half tons which received the semi floating 14 bolt, extra leaf springs, larger brakes front and rear with hd front hub assemblies. and yes you could get the 4.3 in 2500s but not 3500s.

    4.3 liter heavy duty version

    In my quest for knowledge about the gmt400s I've came across multiple incidences of a 4.3 liter heavy duty version which came on 2500s with 8500 pound gvwr and above. It had 5 less hp than the standard duty 4.3 and 5 less lb torque. Does anyone know the difference between the two? Im curious...

    High volume oil pumps

    Has anyone here installed one of these? I have a 4.3 liter that runs 30-35 psi and I'm going to be replacing oil cooler lines, oil cooler gasket and the pan gasket (all leaking). If I get one of these pumps I'd like to know if id have to clearance the pan. I called melling and they said its a...

    Hub centric wheel spacers

    I have some rubbing on my tires and I'm thinking about getting some 1.5 inch spacers...I know a lot of people don't like them but I want to keep my stock rims and don't want to dish out a bunch of money for rims with less back spacing. That being said I'd like to know if anyone else uses them or...

    body lift pics and questions

    I ordered a performance accessories 3 inch body lift a few days ago and I've been prepping my truck and its rusty bolts for the install. Does anyone have pics of how much manual 4wd shifter sticks out after the install and how a manual transmission shifter looks after the install? Did anyone...

    body lifts

    I'm thinking about the body lift because I was foolish and had a leveling kit which has collapsed my bump stop brackets where the upper arms have rubbed and crushed them

    body lifts

    I have a manual transmission and more concerns for me would be pulling the body up and leaving the tranny and transfer case in place...how would that effect my shifting

    body lifts

    I really like that, I'm just a little worried about all the frame showing with the 3 inch

    body lifts

    What is the smallest body lift kit I can get for one of these trucks? I can only find 2 and 3 inch kits, is there any 1 inch lifts?
