    2001 3500-HD 8.1 / nv4500 flatbed dump

    Where are you located and is it still available? I have the engine, trans and transfer case ready to stab into the right chassis and I have a cream puff cab with restored interior ready to go! Finding an affordable 4x4 HD chassis would be perfect even if I have to drive to go get it

    2001 3500-HD 8.1 / nv4500 flatbed dump

    Did any of the HD’s come 4x4?

    2001 3500-HD 8.1 / nv4500 flatbed dump

    It’s 8lug so I assume HD. I’m just learning model detail. I found a 10lug but went with the 8lug so the bolt pattern would match when I do add the straight axle.

    2001 3500-HD 8.1 / nv4500 flatbed dump

    Any more work I’m this truck? I’ve got a cream puff 1 owner 92’ 2500 and a 94’ cab chassis I’m about to swap to build something similar. I’d like to also solid axle swap it but I am trying to figure out how to do that without lifting it more than an inch or 2

    RedHead Steeering Gears.....

    So I did a lot of research when I purchased my steering box and pump because I had the EVO style pump and box. Here is what I found. Bluetop guy used to work for Redtop guy. Talking to both of them they basically offered the same thing and almost the same conversation. Upgrades with the needle...

    Steering Box

    When I got mine from AGR Performance they really explained it well. You might give them a call. They machine their gearboxes for 2 bearings and 2 seals (28 and 63 I believe) on the first diagram. A couple things that sold me on using them was they don't charge any core charges and they were in...

    Steering gear box replacement questions?

    Check out Steerco AGR Performance. They are a manufacturer (last left in the USA). They offer off the shelf gearboxes and pumps with no core or exchange! That was important to me because i drive my truck every day. They also have a rebuild service if you want to send it in. They offer different...

    New Twist on the 0411 Vortec 454 swap!?!?

    I spoke with Howell Fuel Injection. They said they haven't had a request for this harness in years. All the other harness builders I spoke to said no way, no how. They also said they will program my computer to delete all the emissions and smog. They don't do the 0411 conversion with this...

    New Twist on the 0411 Vortec 454 swap!?!?

    I'm looking for a stand alone harness because I don't have a harness. I didn't think 500 was too bad for a new and simple install harness. I'd likely make sure it ran well first before doing the 0411 mod. I'm looking for about 500 ft lbs of torque and what ever hp came with it. Fingers crossed...

    New Twist on the 0411 Vortec 454 swap!?!?

    So I did find this harness from Howell. I'll check tomorrow to see if they are still making them. Painless told me their harness is discontinued and for no money would they consider making one for me. Understandable I assume if I can get this harness after it's running I should then consider...

    New Twist on the 0411 Vortec 454 swap!?!?

    Either I have a unique request or I cant search well. Forgive me if its the later of the two. This is my application... I am building a prerunner (I race Baja 3-4 times a year) and I have a 1997 Vortec 454 id like to install in this prerunner. From what I understand the 0411 computer is the PCM...

    12200411 PCM swap for 1996 to 2000 GMT400 trucks

    I'm doing something a little different and need a little advise. I have a 0411 and I have a 1997 454, 4L80E from a suburban but I don't have a harness. 1) can I just purchase a harness made for a LS swap to use with my computer? 2) I assume I also need to purchase all the sensors from say, a...
