    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Dana 80 SRW vs DRW hub difference?

    Hey guys, I recently converted my 01 3500 drw to srw. I know there is a difference in the measurements on the dana 80 hubs and spindles for drw vs srw trucks. Can anyone tell me how much wider the dually hubs are? I am about an inch wider than I would like to be on each side in the rear...

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Inverted Y vs T steering linkage

    The Y style is 1-1/8" dia and the T style 99 hd is 1-1/4" as alluded to. The major advantage to this style setup is that your TOE does NOT change during suspension travel. This is why you feel less bumpsteer.

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission FYI 1999 HD T steering on a 2001

    Hey guys, I don't post here that often, but I just finished installing my front suspension (lorenz 2. 5) and at the same time I put on the 1999 HD t steering. I had read on the board (after I had it all together of course) that there was an issue with the 2001 pitman arm-end tie rod end...

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Downsizing exhaust from 5" to 4"

    Gentlemen, Right now my exhaust setup on my 01 DRW 3500 is as follows: 4in hx40 DP coming off a II silver 62, and as soon as it goes parallel to the ground, it blooms into a 5in pipe with a magnaflow 5in muffler, and then into 5in stack y pipe, and 6in chrome angle cut stacks. At first...

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Huge thumbs up to Industrial Injection's Silver 62

    Under what conditions? I cant get my EGTS higher that 1200 or so, so far, even with the TST box turned up all the way and with sustained full throttle bursts. I have not tried lugging it up any long grades yet though. ETA, I can peg it at 50lbs of boost.

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Huge thumbs up to Industrial Injection's Silver 62

    I just went for a long ride to play around with the smarty settings, etc. I tried 5 7 and 3. 3 seems to be the hands down winner. Equal power, and much much improved smoke control. I can ease right into boost, and as long as I dont hammer it off the line, no real visible smoke. Also, it feels...

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Huge thumbs up to Industrial Injection's Silver 62

    Cummins 724... . I was under the impression that the TST box managed the timing, but I am new to diesel perf. I thought the odd setting on the smarty would conflict with the TST. If smarty on no. 3 makes the same power as no. 8, then why shouldnt I just put it on 9? Odd settings have timing...

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Huge thumbs up to Industrial Injection's Silver 62

    Cummins724, I just installed all of this, so I havent towed anything yet. I am taking my brothers Buick GN to get dyno tuned on a 36ft gooseneck (just a tiny bit overkill for a single car haha) in a few days, but I will know then. I actually am smoking a fair bit right now, even with the TST...

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission 2001 Dually Dana 80 spline count?

    Gentlemen, I am trying to discern what spline count I have on the back of my dually. It has a Dana 80 axle naturally, and I am going to install a Detroit Truetrac. I understand there are 35 and 37 spine versions. My D80 has disk brakes if that is at all pertinent. Thanks for any help...
