Hole in the gas tank...
Try a TBI/TH400/4:10 combo
Great looking truck.
Shame about the 4wd though!
Can't wait to see how this one goes!
shhhh. I know the mileage with a TH400 will suck even worse, although this is 4:10s and 225/75R16s (tiny!). I love my 4wd. And I lowered my 02 which is 4wd.
Tall is fine. Actually taller. And I have plans for a shop out back.....
Negative. Slide in camper and car-trailer to drag the 88 around with.
Doooooooooo eitttttttttttt

Thanks guys!
Welp, the deed has been done. Transmission is pulled from the truck, I'll have to get some pictures. Actually pulled a Getrag from a 90 1st gen Dodge cummins truck, it's getting a NV4500 as well. Was full day of transmission pulling!
Anyway, the trans was as expected inside, needs bearings and synchros. Had a good deal of metal in there. Gears all look fine. Clutch is getting replaced while I'm there.
Also went through a few things, here is the list of items that will be changed in the upcomming months:
- Rebuild transmission with new clutch
- New u-joints and carrier bearing
- Tune up - plugs, wires cap & rotor.
- Injectors. It has the famous leaky vortec injectors that hard start after sitting. Maybe higher flow and a tune.
- Replace broken glovebox
- Wire in trailer connector
- GMT800 towing mirrors
- Tint front windows
- Kodiak Handles
- Re-connect airbags (came with firestones but are disconnected)
- Paint the wheels
- New front lighting & Grille
- Repair/replace LH dually fender (cracked)
- Cut & buff truck, touch up scratches
- Toolbox
I have more things I'm ready to do but we'll leave those up to the imagination.
