2000 GMT400 CREW CAB SFA SWAP-The Warden: Fuel leak fixed and awaiting surgery…

The ultimate goal for this truck is tow duty/family camping trips/small offroad adventures.
Lol, if it's not one it's the other. By the time we get in the house and I get free enough to go take a picture it's dark. Now that I've been driving the Harley truck, it's even worse. But if you think about it after 5pm, text me. I'll eventually remember it.

Well, we both know how well my phone works after 5pm. :rolleyes:
 
Pssst hey, @campfire Ethan, cheese man dude.

This pic shows proximity of inner fender and manifold.

This is eye level at valve cover.

And this is a closer look at the v-band.

This is about as close as I can get without pulling the air box. If you need me to, let me know.

Woohoo!

Is that vertical downpipe the same piece that bends horizontally rearward? I need a short 45* angle up from the horizontal section (intersecting just below the rear end of the manifold), and a hard 90*elbow will not get the job done. :(

I may wind up buying a 5.9 or 6.6 exhaust kit to get the bend I'm looking for.

Yes. That down pipe goes from the turbo to about where the first cab mount is under the truck. So about 3’ or so.
 
This down pipe is so massaged to fit in this space, that there isn’t a straight section in it. Like it was pressure formed to fit as tight as possible.
 
I have those second gen bfg's on my Silverado and I'm pretty happy with them. I'm about 1/3 of the way through the tread with 30k miles so far, and they've got traction for days in snow and dirt. I think you'll be happy with them.
 
I love those tires on certain applications. They are great on my wife's Yukon XL Denali in the 20" size. Not good for mud or clay though. They will do good on your 2wd pavement pounder though HAHA!

Sounds good to me.

I do kind of worry about the mud/clay performance, as this will see some mud once it's 4wd but I guess i'll cross that bridge when I get there.

And let me know when you swing by Kansas again so I can punch you in the wiener.

Stop overthinking things. That's my department, buster. :deal:
 
I've had BFG All terrians several times. Great tires. AWFUL in mud of any kind. But that's the only terrian they didn't do well on
 
Yes but a punch in the wiener doesn't sound fun at all! Although it does only add 2 hrs and about 125 miles to my route to WI this summer and I could go back to that really awesome BBQ place in Kansas City. LOL
