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.
The final piece to the 4x4 swap. This fixed yoke BW t-case will be the donor for the good slip yoke t-case. This fixed yoke had some form of internal failure, and was swapped so the truck could be put back on the road ASAP. I’m going to use it for the tail shaft and housing.

So I picked up a complete set of Optix gauges from work. I got a crazy good deal on them, so I decided to swap them out. The Optix kits are almost $500 on line, so these must be good gauges. They came with a wiring harness for a newer Dodge so I am going to adapt them to work with my truck. Plus I like the white gauges more. They seem more visible.

Yep, for now. I’d rather be safe and able to read important info, than just assume I’m not pushing the truck too hard. I mean it is a 6.5 lol.

60PSI on the boost gauge?

May as well hook it up to oil pressure with that measuring scale.
 
You could push 40 to 50lbs with the right turbo and enough fuel to spool it. I know of a few guys that did it. It ran very well and stupid fast :saweet::burnout: . Till it blows up :weapon9: a few miles later :haha:.


Couse those where built to drag race, not be a daily/tow rig.
 
What condition is your stock A pillar trim piece in? Mine is trash and im looking for a replacement.

What color you need? I’m going to a yard near home today that basically gives away interior trim. Last pillar trim I bought was $2

Grey. If you find one I will pay for you for it. Mine was so brittle all the tabs broke off when trying to re install it.
