Would my current transmission fit with it or need to be replaced? I wouldn't mind having it built.

Everything would run the same such as speedo and odometer? Would love to have a 20 mpg dually :D. Although it would have to wait until I move out and get a job, even though I can probably do it now.

So the next thing I want to do is get 20" wheels so I can run a m/t or a/t without spacers. My only concern is I'm getting 10.5 mpg and am afraid of how much it will drop going from a 31.7" tire to a 33" tire. Started thinking about getting a custom tune but after watching my dad fry his van with a bullydog kind of scares you away. Any ideas for better mpg besides keeping my foot out of the throttle?
6BT!
Well I would like to change it over to diesel but it won't be any time soon. I was thinking more along the lines of an lbz. ;D
I hear ya
But when it comes time you would be much cheaper by a factor probably and have more tuneability with a simple 12 valve P-Pump 6BT...Which are lifetime engines
In any case, we're here to support ya with whatever expertise we can bring to the table!
You have peaked my interest though... what would go into doing that swap? Cost? Parts?

Really liking the bumper, turning out great. Keep up the great work.

I like it all. But instead of bringing as whole, can he do modular?
The walls and trusses look standard. Load em up on you trailer and haul em in.
I was thinking the same, take it all in pieces and put it together. They make tons of log cabin kits like that, put it together to make sure it fits then ship it to the build site and assemble.

I'm leaning towards the black and machined.
Looks like the back end of an engine on one of the jets I flew
All the more reason to get them!

I like them because the white(assuming that's white, could be the lightening) and black match the rest of my truck. Probably the only set of wheels that looks good with lug nut spikes. I'm completely unsure, not even sure my dad will let me get wheels anyways because "I need to save my money" because he has it in his head the truck is about to break down.
The more I look at it I can tell its chrome not white.

I've only had rotations and balancing from them and love driving away because the truck rides so nice. My dad loves them and I'll buy from them anyways. I need to contact them and see what a set of 6 terra grapplers will run and if its better than 224 for the dura tracs I'll get them. Are those wheels the black or chrome? I REALLY like their black wheels, stuck between those and eagles if my dad will even let me get new wheels...

Lookin good boss! I'm eyein' a set of those nfab running boards myself. How do you like them?
I love them although they rattle a bit but I believe that's just the installer's error.

Thats a good start. Is that senior for you, college or HS?
Oh, I just count 83 peppermints and $2.59 (which could buy more)
6 ltr or 8.1?
The senior is for me, I'll be graduating high school June 6th so I'm pretty excited about that. It only has the 6.0, would have got a diesel but my dad is very anti diesel for some reason so I settled for a gasser.
Congrats, young man!
Follow on intentions?
Ask your father to repent for the anti diesel feelings ;-))
I'm not completely decided but I hope to get hired onto the company my dad is with as his helper and then he can train me to become an a/c tech for them. The company owns mobile homes that oil rigs rent from them and he works on those when they have problems. If that doesn't work out I'm thinking of welding, diesel mechanic, or something pipeline related. Dream job would be to own and work a large cattle ranch.

Texas is full of deer and where I live you have to accept the fact that you will some day hit one so I decided to welcome them with a Ranch Hand ;D. I also thought to myself since I getting a front bumper I might as well replace the rear that the previous owner banged all up jack knifing trailers and such. Eventually got a the legend front bumper for the front and dually wrap with reverse lights for the rear. But apparently I had an aftermarket trailer hitch and had to remove it so at the moment I have the attachment that Ranch Hand makes which is rated only at 5k trailer weight and 500 pound tongue weight so I definitely need to get a new hitch. For some reason this picture looks weird but I assure the truck is perfectly normal ;)  Favorite pic of the front:

I got a new jump seat off ebay from a 2013 because the console I had wouldn't latch and was tired of the duct tape wrapped around it and didn't have a single cup holder besides my lap. This one directly bolts in and has FIVE cup holders which was very luxurious for me. I had to remove both front seats then just lift the old seat out and toss it. The new seat is then placed and fits perfectly.  Just had to put the front seats back in and boom. Done.   I did have to transfer my peppermint collection from Sonic into the new console which now holds approximately 738 peppermints.

So I figured I would join the fun and make a build of my truck. It won't be anything amazing at the moment but I have possible plans for either a diesel conversion or making it crazy fast for no reason. This will mostly be to give updates on what I do to it and ask questions about it. I'd also like to state that I bought the truck and bought everything for the truck except Christmas/Birthday presents. I bought it stock from an old man in Houston who owned a company that made shipping containers for the airport and used the truck to tow the containers. The mileage was 143k then and is currently at 158k. List of mods I've added in order since: Pioneer radio with 2 10" subs under the backseats New body style tow mirrors Ranch Hand legend front bumper and dually wrap rear bumper Dual hi-flow mufflers S&B intake New headlights housings with led hi and low beams Jump seat from a 2013 Silverado N-Fab wheel to wheel steps 50" curved led light bar with N-Fab roof mounts Closest picture I can find of it stock:  How she sits now:

In in the same boat. Looking at Mayhem Monstir 20s for the dually and Im leaning towards to Nitto Terra Grappler because the vast majority of the mileage is on the highway 90+%
Have you seen a price for the nitto tires? I was looking at dura tracs and tire rack has them for 224 each for a 275/60/20 and if I can get discount tire to match the price I may go with them.

Looking at getting 20 inch rims for my dually and would like a mud grip that handles well in mud, has good wear, and decent price since I'll have to buy 6. What would you guys recommend?

Maybe you should look into getting a batwing mower for all those fields. It would take much less time to cut it all. The land is really starting to open up and looks nice. Good looking table also. ;)

« on: May 08, 2015, 10:43:26 PM »
I was always told when cutting angle you should have the corner pointing up so your blade is cutting the least amount of material possible. Just some food for thought. Very curious how the bumper will come out. :)

I probably should have looked before posting haha. Just saw the thread saying it's gone.

Surprised I've just now found this build, pretty cool. Do you still have it? A turbo on this puppy would be sick.

In my economics class we talk about this and many other conspiracy theories. I actually live in Livingston where one of the Wal-Marts was shut down and there have been rumors of it becoming a FEMA camp or being used for base of operations of sorts. I just can't bring myself to believe that men and women who are risking their lives to protect this country would suddenly turn on us. But being in Texas which is considered a hostile state for the operation does worry me some. I did learn today that Greg Abbott told the Texas state guard to monitor the training which is a little reassuring. But if the government decides to attack Texas they'll learn real quick, don't mess with Texas. I don't know a single person who doesn't own/know how to shoot a gun and if it comes down to it I'll gladly knock some heads. I could also see Texas becoming a country again.

The spacers I showed are made from aluminum by Fred Geoske which everyone talks very highly of. The only thing about his spacers is he only sells a pair of 1/4 inch for $170 so I would have to buy two pairs for $340 to get the 1/2 inch I need. The wheels I'm looking at are eagle 058. I want to keep the wheels 16 inch so I can run the stock wheel on the inside.

So its getting about that time for new tires and was looking at getting some new rims for the truck along with goodyear duratracs but from what I've learned from another guy with the same setup I will need .5" spacers in the rear so my tires don't touch. He couldn't get a .5" so he has two .25" spacers on each side and says he has put 100k miles pulling 18k-25k almost daily without problem. These are the .25" that I could double up on each side.  Could yall educate me on wheel spacers and would I have anything to worry about with spacers that small? Just don't want to take a drive and see one of my tires rolling down the road beside me.

My 2001 gas dually. She has a Ranch Hand dually wrap rear bumper, Ranch Hand front bumper, led headlights, 50" curved light bar with N-Fab roof mounts, N-Fab wheel to wheel steps, hi-flowing mufflers, and an S&B intake. Back in the fall when I was moving hay to our property.  Few weeks back once again moving hay to our property after playing in the mud.  Just the other day after shining her up and bringing out true beauty.

Welcome pulley!!
What part of East Texas are you in?
I live in the NE part near Longview.
I'm from Livingston in Polk County. I've heard of Longview but have never been there.

I appreciate all the welcomes. I'm on spring break right now so there won't be any progress on the trailer but maybe I'll be able to get the pictures sorted out and start posting them up.

My name is Kenneth, I'm only 18, and I'm from East Texas. Finally moved over from duramaxforum and can't wait to see Square D running and read through all the other builds. I also have some pictures of a trailer we're building in shop class that I figured y'all love to see.
