    What have you towed lately

    New race trailer for our off-road toys looking pretty sharp behind the old dually. :)

    96 C3500 CCLB lowered 454 Dually project........

    Thanks, The only real update to come is actually installing the 411 PCM that I've had in hand but have been procrastinating about for years. I didn't consider the OBDII style gauge.

    No vibration. The Belltech kit had a driveline spacer to go under the carrier bearing to correct the driveline angle.

    '96 C3500 CCLB dually. How much is too much?

    I was referring to both trucks pulling our race trailer not the toy hauler. Around 9k. Was downright scary if the wind was blowing or if you had to panic stop. Dodge went to rear coils in 2009. I have Air Lift helper bags inside the coils. 2011 still had the 545RFE 5 speed trans. 9.25 rear...

    '96 C3500 CCLB dually. How much is too much?

    Thanks for your response. We lowered the truck ourselves. I have confidence in how the truck is lowered so don't think that the lowering of the truck is any concern. I've previously towed a race trailer grossing around 9k with it in it's current configuration but after researching the past few...

    12200411 PCM swap for 1996 to 2000 GMT400 trucks

    For anyone that has converted a 454 to electric fans when doing the 411 swap, what did you use? Searching for the best fitting and performing fan assembly. Thanks for any help.

    Little more power for my '96 454 dually...

    You know which JBA's you ended up with. There are way to many choices.

    I'm thinking about adding the headers to mine also. I looked at the CAI's but the more I read it seemed that upgrading the filter (have AEM ordered) did about the same. What has your experience with the Volant been?

    Little more power for my '96 454 dually...

    Alright. Diving in on the 411. Have a guy that works with me that is much more of a wiring guy that I am to do the pin out. Have tuning appointment on 10/15 with a very well know local (sort of) tuner. Guess we'll see how it goes.

    Thanks! I love them. Never did hook up the heat portion but did do the power and the turn signals. They've been on the truck for 6 years.

    Little more power for my '96 454 dually...

    Thankfully the dually is reserved for towing and cruising around. Have a Hemi Ram for the daily. Whether I do it or I get someone to do it I'm determined to get it done. Few other things on the list like a extra trans cooler and such in prep for the new toy hauler's arrival in December.

    It's however Lextech tuned it after I sent him the paperwork he asked to be completed. Going to search for local shops that can do the swap and tune it today. I'm still apprehensive about trying to do the pin out and such myself.

    Little more power for my '96 454 dually...

    Thanks. I actually have had the 411 kit from Lextech for years but have been a little intimidated by the process to change it over. Looks like I need to get on with it. I have about 3 months to wait for the toy hauler to be built so have some time to make it happen.

    Thanks. Sorry, I don't remember the sizes.

    Already has Bosch injectors and cat back exhaust. Simplest mods to get a little more power?

    '96 C3500 CCLB dually. How much is too much?

    Thanks. I have the manual. I've read that these ratings were some sort of insurance deal back then. Seeing these newer half ton truck being rated at more than that tells me that the dually is capable of more than it's rating. I realize the rating is the rating. I was hoping for some real world...

    '96 C3500 CCLB dually. How much is too much?

    4.10 gear. 454/4L80E. Bell Tech 5/7 kit with Air Lift helper bags. Would like to pull a travel trailer toy hauler that will weight about 12k, 1500 tongue weight. Curt 14k weight distributing hitch. Truck is in excellent mechanical and overall condition. Upgraded injectors, cat back exhaust...

    It's regular base/clear urethane. The spoiler was new so the only prep was to clean it and spray adhesion promoter on it. It's held up great.

    Thanks!!! I feel like I'm pretty much done with it now. I'm super happy with it.

    It looks very much like the OE gauges. I actually bought it used from Thunderstruck. The only bummer to the deal is that the led is not replaceable so I can't make it match the other blue lights in my gauges etc.. Not really a big deal for me. I opted not to connect the light at all.
