Not much been going on just enjoying driving my truck and doing what it was made to do!
I put on a new EGR valve it had a bad hesitation which should lower my NOX reading above on the emissions testing.

It's getting painted soon. 
I'm not entirely ready for a paint job but a painter I know made me to good of a deal to pass up.

what color are you going with?
Wow thats cool, but you gonna make sure he doesn't paint the passenger door? How will you find your truck again when its one color?
Chevy Dark blue metallic
It's going to be weird seeing it one color again I have been driving it around like this for 6 years.

Well that suburban became a donor rig... it's a 91 four wheel drive.. can anyone guess what I'm taking off besides whats in the picture. 
power mirrors?
Nope a little closer to the front and about 10 inches off the ground. 
30 spline front 10 bolt?
I guess I "might as well"
Don't forget the front cross member, front spring hangers, upper shackle brackets, steering box etc etc...
wow like seriously your going for it and gonna do a 2wd to 4wd... about time dude

Diy4x will be getting a call for sure
Go big or go home right? This is the perfect time to do this swap sense my 2wd front end is destroyed and my 2wd tranny is slipping.
For sure! for years you've wanted a 4wd
What else are you going to use from that burb? How are those stock aluminum wheels? Mine are all pitted real bad

I'm going to be using the front fenders, and doing a 91 front end conversion on my truck. I plan on possibly using my 82 front bumper with fog lights where the turn signals are. I'm also going to remove the HVAC system.
I'm undecided if I'm going to keep the power mirrors or not, what do you guys think? I have a line on a possible 2005 6.0L complete, I'm just finding out how to make it emissions friendly before I pull the trigger.
I have been saving to build this truck for 5 years.

Oh yeah man... just take the entire doors with power everything
Oh ya, the wheels are not bad at all with a proper cleaning they should turn out pretty good.
I'm lazy so I'm leaning towards the power mirrors and locks.
