      It was great just driving. Shifted at good times. Drove down the highway great. Pending what I was doing, it felt good off-road too. But stock trans wasn’t enough. After wheeling a couple times it went out

    It looks good on the swamper TSL's. I'd like to sas mine but I'm nervous to get into it. I still want to daily drive mine so I only want to do like a 9 inch lift on 35s /37s. Thanks for the video, your truck looks mean.

    I'm yanking the 4L80E and putting in an SM465 and a NP205 transfer case. So no more left side differential, and to hell with chain driven cases. My LQ4 is already carbureted, emissions deleted (It's still America in Idaho) I get the same fuel economy as the MPEFI that uses functional TDC to screw with maps and advance whenever doing work on a rough road would effect crank acceleration events. The cold skirt slap making an erroneous knock detection was pure crap as well. This new tech could not win WW2. It's fickle and rittled with Achilles heels. I want a truck, damn it.
