Hey guys, I was doing the same (3500-4500 swap) and had the exact same thoughts. Eventually through reading I found the 3500 input shaft is only rated to 300ft lbs of torque. My truck sits around 400hp and I thought it would take the abuse. I drove it on the street, using 4x4 once in a blue moon...
I've been working solid for what seems to be forever. I am proud to say however, that 4-5 months ago I managed to finally get my NV4500. It was only $500! Mind you I drove from just north of Toronto Canada to Donaldson PA. Hahaha Luckily I took my little (untill I get my gm back on the road)...
Hey has anyone thought of throwin strips up in the wheel wells on a switch so that it lights up around your tires if you are doing some late night wheelin?
^ For being relatively cheap they perform great. The guy that happened to pop out of a side road was pretty mad, cause he did so 1/2 way through me breaking them in. And he hated the "invisible rabbits" that kept jumping out in front of me. lol He almost ate bumper 3 times those things stop on a...
Hey guys I thought I might add Brakemotive on ebay sells decent pads and rotors as a combo. It was brought to my attention while looking through the trailblazer forum, when I was looking to upgrade the brakes on mine.They are cross drilled and slotted with performance pads. got front and rear...
I took out those useless catch all plastic bins in the back sides of my extended cab, Built a strange time consuming sealed box in each side with thin 10in pioneer subs(tough hitting that .6 cu inch number). Had to cut 2 and a half inches off each side of the bottom of the bench and 1 and a half...
I put this up in a different post. What I did was: There is a wire (light blue i believe) that runs to the actuator. I got a double pole, single throw switch and used one half to disrupt the blue wire after the relay. The second side of the switch I used on the black and white wire going to the...
Well eff..... sorry it took me so long to reply. Workin solid. Any way what I did was: There is a wire (light blue i believe) that runs to the actuator. I got a double pole, single throw switch and used one half to disrupt the blue wire after the relay. The second side of the switch I used on...
I weighed this out for ever.... My truck is older so the main issue is it is thermal actuated. Switch on....wait it heats up were all good.... drivin and oh there's a puddle! *SPLASH!!!* (the unit cools down and no 4x4)... Stupid design. So I looked at the posi lock and it is cool but then I...
I never planned on speed mashin anyway just need the strength. Side note the old nv3500 used to spin in 3rd...... hahaha I miss this truck. 2.3L ranger just isn't doin it for me....
