Not sure why the link is dead, but when the transmission tries to shift from 1-2, it locks up. I'm still trying to find where I found someone who had the same issue. If I can't get it fixed cheap then I'll be looking at putting a C6 in there.
This truck is headed in a different direction. New plan:
Keeping TTB with lift brackets for now but cut and turned beams sometime in the future as soon as I can find some beams for cheap. Looking at a whole bunch of calipers with the 5x5.5 bolt pattern so I can figure out bigger brakes. Might just use a dual piston caliper because from what I've found so far, no other rotor will fit over the hub without machining. I've looked at 1/2 ton dodge stuff, jeep stuff, '04 e-150 stuff, and everything has a hub hole that is too small. Also going to build some strait radius arms out of DOM for it.
The rear will get a spool or get welded, and trussed. Not sure about keeping my 8.8 since it has c clips and you can't use a spool or anything without a c clip eliminator kit and from what I've read, the c clips hold up fine as long as you don't go huge on the tires. So if I kept the 8.8 it would get welded, if I went with a 9 inch it'd get a spool and eventually a detroit. Keeping drum brakes with the one ton wheel cylinders from the sterling.
A cage out of 2" .120 wall DOM. It'll go in slow because it's expensive. It needs to have a front and rear vertical hoop, two top connecting bars, two rear down bars, one diagonal down bar, and two horizontal door bars. I also want to tie this into an engine cage with big hoops for shocks and a crossmember over the engine.
New front and rear bumpers, and some other stuff like a new fuel cell will make it on there too.
