    Disc brake upgrade

    I got a kit for mine from lugnut4x4. For the 14 bolt semi float. Retained the parking brake but I have yet to hook it up. My factory cables were not in great shape. My kit was more than LSM but I did get there nbs master conversion. Worked beautiful on the setup I have. Total change in brake feel

Nothing to crazy. Looking at the brochure if I swap my gears with the 5.7 gcwr goes to 15k as it sits right now I'm...

    I know my truck is a poor example but I'm looking to get a 14k trailer, 2800 empty and put a skid steer on it. Would I have issues? Hitch is rated at 16k. 1500 frame 2500 rear and suspension. Will have the 5.7 4l80 in soon. Currently has 5.0 4l60. I've towed 5k with no problem but getting to...

    Gonna need towing mirrors

    Finished up the wiring for mine. Took some advice and hooked the white lights up to the cargo light. The fronts are just hooked to the parking circuit for now. Will end up redoing then with some solid state relays for park and turn. Just have to finalize the wiring. But I ran out of daylight.

    Turning a 1500 imto a 2500?

    I looked at the hangers today. The 1500 looks thicker and doesn't have an additional brace on the frame side. The 2500 had the brace but looks like a thinner material. There aslo different for the bed mounts. Sclb/ecsb and the rears are identical. The fronts have the additional brace. From what...

    Speedo

    Probably not the right sub forum to post this. With the upgrades that I've done I have found my speedo to be way off at higher speeds. Went from 245s and 3.42 to 3.73 and 265s. What's the easiest way to fix this. I do have a Bluetooth ob2 adapter. And I do plan on doing a trnas and ECU swap when...

    Turning a 1500 imto a 2500?

    I just did the swap on my truck. 96 c1500 used a 97 c2500 as a doner. Everything in the rear bolted right up. Took the springs off the 2500 with the 14 bolt. Did a rear disk conversion on the 14 bolt. The front just ordered the 2500 upper control arms and used the factory 8 bolt hubs. The lower...

    Trailer Brake Controller Advice

    I did the redarc tow pro. Haven't used it yet but the install was definitely clean. My 7 blade I drilled into the bumper. When I get a new bumper I'm getting a multi tow and mounting that to my new b&w hitch I just installed. *Had to edit this. Apparently my phone auto corrected to another word....

    The black one is the main the white is just a parts truck I've been pulling the 2500 stuff off of. It's rusted out and the frame isn't great. But everything else is solid. Going to be pulling the motor and trans for my truck in spring.

    Gonna need towing mirrors

    That's not a bad idea honestly. That way you don't have them on for every reverse. Just when needed.
