Maybe I missed it, but where was it listed it had an engine swap? All I see is a turbo and some things under the hood painted black.

I would pay $5k for that. Doesn’t seem like too much work to sort out. Interested in more info on that turbo though.

Thorough write up and great pictures. I wasn’t looking forward to figuring out the differences for all the openings in the hmmwv crossover

I’m guessing he’s trying to use ord’s knowledge to order shocks elsewhere for cheap, otherwise why even care?

When I have driveshafts made, my shop just wants a measurement from the yoke to the end of the tailshaft. They do the rest. Is this not a driveshaft shop that you’re dealing with? http://www.dennysdriveshaft.com/app/webroot/img/File/how_to_measure_diagrams/b.html

If you look on their website that is the part number given for that application. I’m going to venture a guess that they suggest using a different application for square bodies than bilstein suggests hence an ORD part number vs a bilstein part number. If they listed say a dodge or ford bilstein...

That is just their part number for their spec’d 5100 series shock.

I’ve thought about one of these for a while, where’d you get it? I ended up moving my rear battery onto the front tray as well because it died prematurely even with a heat shield wrap.

It’s the lift blocks that exacerbate the axle wrap affect. You can certainly feel it from a stop if you get on the throttle. You can break leafs, u joints, etc. i would ask how the driveshaft place wants tou to measure. They know how to take into account how far the slip yoke moves. 2wd...

the application would be for a 2wd version of a k5 (but a c10 would work as well).

I just got my hmmwv crossover today. Looking forward to your findings.

That yoke is dangling out quite far. Almost looks like the pinion angle is a touch pointed down but doesn't look horrible. Plus with those tall blocks you'll have a bunch of axle wrap so it'll probably get fairly equal. I've never dealt with relocation brackets. I gave you a source for cheap...

Looks good. Did you use the typical plastic tube that comes with gauges? I'd just keep an eye on that or replace with braided line.

I do not, I only have a 2" lift. Bilsteins website has all their shocks with heights listed though. Offroad designs also sells them and suggests what length with certain lifts.

I have those tuff country shocks and honestly they leave a lot to be desired other than being made in the USA. I'd spend the extra coin on a set of bilsteins

I live at 6000ft and it's only up from there......Loveland pass is 12k ft. Let me know when you aren't at sea level driving at 70mph

I live in Lakewood and have an m1009. Completely empty and before the turbo I had trouble sustaining 45mph on i70. 60mph on 6th Ave in town was hard to do. Now with the turbo i can do 70mph on i70. I'd think 40mph up into the mountains loaded down would be a push but also North Carolina is...

I guess that's something.

Well that's a bummer.

What about a thermostat housing spacer? They're available with 1-2 threaded ports and I think the 6.2 is a typical sbc shape.
