Thanks! It was definitely a 'treat yo self' moment in time.
Front springs are OME 2850J, rear are Slee SOF4RHP Heavy 4". Tires are BFG KO2 @ 315/75R16.
Jeez, where does a year go? Been that long since I posted an update to my truck's build page. Since then, it was a full year of road trips and wheeling, including a great 4x4 camp trip with my Dad down to the Four Corners region. On that trip, I...
I went a different direction and dropped a Cummins in mine. A lot of the wiring deletes will be the same between the LS and Cummins. I have a couple of post showing how I did mine and included a pdf attachment with all my delete notes.

The 5687 is a really well made winch. Belleview was a machine shop. They designed and built it for Warn. Machinists designed the 5687.
When Warn absorbed Belleview their #1 priority was lowering the cost to manufacture the winch and add some...
I’m starting to break down these 8274’s for cleaning and reassembly.
When rebuilding, what modifications should I consider ( I’ve already bought three allbright solenoids from @PIP)?
I have three total to build.
Thank you for bringing that up. I have been thinking about deleting mine. I’m planning to keep my 6bt as close to stock as possible. I may build a small camper (less than 2000 lbs) but that’s the extent of my towing.
My truck came with a passenger’s side rear tire carrier from @SUMMIT CRUISERS Jr back when he was still making them. PO made a nice bracket for the license plate.

I’ve been dealing with some shifting problems with my transmission. When I first cold crank it in the morning, it shifts easily through the gears. Once I’ve driven for a few minutes, shifting into 2nd and 2rd is reduced. Also, after driving...
Significant milestone today - I had done an EGR delete and rear heater delete. On a whim, I decided to additionally replace the front two heater hoses. They connect the engine to the hardlines from the front of the truck to the firewall. As it...
It's not just the engine, it's mostly how it's put in. It can be an excellent result or it can be pretty terrible. Depends on the approach.
I feel it makes a great vehicle. Toyota diesels don't do much for me.
As a general overview, yes, a 5.9...
If you got an itch, scratch it! Regardless of what others say, dive in and spend coupla years getting it dialed in, then enjoy it. It's been done plenty on this board. A search will reveal lots of info on this conversion.
My voltmeter starts dancing when I switch on my blinker. Could this be low blinker fluid or maybe an electrical issue?
I’m also wondering if anyone else has disabled their oil light. I deleted my ECM and I’m about to look over the wiring...
