88GMCtruck's 98 Silverado Towpig Build: "Black Fox"
A couple more things in the works... Finished the B&W Turnover gooseneck hitch and happened to find a screaming deal on the B&W Companion 5th wheel hitch. May end up trading the travel trailer on a 5th wheel at some point in the near future. Just made sure it all went together and then it'll...- DanteGTZ

I don't, presently. With mine, I just had to trim ~3/16" of the brackets off at the top just to clear the B&W frame mounts.- DanteGTZ

Yeah this was 49.5" from the end of the bed, exactly. Fits dead center.- DanteGTZ

It was pretty easy to install. I had to modify my airbag mounts very slightly but the hitch went in easy.- DanteGTZ

Can't have a super capable truck and not be able to tow most any trailer... installed a B&W turnover ball this evening. Been wanting to get one for a looooong time now. Prices keep going up on them so I decided I had waited long enough.- DanteGTZ

Test fit the new hood tonight. Really wish we had some more stylish hood options on the 400s but this "wide cowl" will do. I'll be painting it along with the fenders/flares and grill. Ultimately the whole truck will be redone but right now the clear coat is failing on the front end and it...- DanteGTZ

It's been a long while since I've logged on; I figured I'd make a quick post about the truck and what's coming up. First off, I've put about 25,000 miles on the truck since the Cummins swap. Aside from the head gasket issue early on, it's been dead reliable... just fighting the common oil...- DanteGTZ

I am! I have a working unit on my 98 K3500 but the middle glass shattered a few months back. Definitely in need of one.- DanteGTZ

88GMCtruck's 98 Silverado Towpig Build: "Black Fox"
Hadn't posted anything in a while so I figured I'd post an update. Truck is still going strong and I've put a bunch of miles on it since the swap. I did have a bit of a problem with the engine that I started noticing in Fall 2020. I initially noticed that every time I shut the truck off after...- DanteGTZ

Still putting some miles on the swap and am really happy so far. The truck pulls trailers effortlessly. The mileage is probably double what it was before. I'll be putting a new pair of front tires on tomorrow. I went with the same Cooper Discovered ST Maxx tires. The rears are still good...- DanteGTZ

I am not entirely sure yet. As I understand it, people generally go about switching the AC one of two ways: Bypass the computer and use the AC button as power for the relay (which then requires rewiring the pressure switches in series) or getting the computer to switch the relay like it did...- DanteGTZ
