  @@heathhylton4746 yes, you will either need to buy a new pad or re-use your old mounting pad. It lines up with one bolt hole on each side for me and I just had to drill an additional hole on each side, but the holes on the crossmember are slotted and give plenty of room for location

  Thanks for the comment. Yes, 2” drop springs and CPP 2.5” drop spindles. I can measure the ride height if you need measurements. Just let me know where you want it measured from. I will say, I think new springs with 2” drop, the difference between those and stock worn out springs might differ because the new springs will be stiffer than the old sprung out springs so you might not get as much as you think, depending on how worn out your springs are if you know what I’m saying, but she still rides pretty low.

• 
  @arkansasjon2171Ай бұрын

  The holes did line up for me and everything squared up. The hole is slightly bigger than the bolt so it can move around a little bit, it could have been even bigger due to the size of the washer. The offset washer makes it so you can rotate the bolt slightly from side to side in order to line up the hole in the wood, the cross sill, and the plate on the frame it needs to go through.

  Great idea mounting the tank to the bottom of the frame. On my truck however I’m doing big notches and bags so I worry about tank clearance to the ground when I air out.

  Thanks for the comment! No, the original driveshaft won’t work. Both trucks, I used a company called Southwest Speed and ordered a custom length driveshaft. Both trucks are 5.3L motors and 4L60E transmissions, and both used a 59” driveshaft, but I would measure according to their website specs before you order because it can vary slightly.

  @@willhinman8978 I will try to get a picture of it when I am out in the shop this week or show it in my next video, but I have mounted in 2 different places. I just use the cheap ecu mounts you can find on eBay or Amazon that mount to the torx bolts on the computer cover. On the blue truck I mounted behind the glove box door, screwed into the firewall and the red truck, also screwed into the firewall but below the heater box since I left the heater in there. I don’t use the glove box on either truck, so that was just an easy and convenient spot for me. One could mount a sheet metal plate below the glove box if you still have the cardboard liner and then screw to that and it would be relatively hidden, but I was never very keen on mounting underneath the hood and being exposed to possible elements. Using the Bp automotive harness, and possibly others, there is plenty of slack that you could mount it under the seat, but you would have to account for the wire bundle to raise your carpet, but if you had a console you could hide it in there easily. There is enough slack in that harness to probably mount it under the close to the back wall of the cab.

  I did this in an open canoe during the Spring a long time ago with a much higher flow rate. There were three to four foot high waves that were not standing as they were moving around. Also there was a strong flow headed toward the big rock you see on the left toward the end of the video. The other canoe on the trip ended up with two swimmers. I took pictures standing on the big rock. You would see them way up in the air and then just the tops of their heads before they finally lost it. I should have never shown them to my mother. When we started toward the water in Ponca we got stopped by the rangers as they said the water level was too high. They pointed to a place in the river where there would normally be a guage but it was under water. After we kept bothering them they finally let us go down river with the promise that we would sign out at the next ranger station, which we did. We kind of lied about whitewater experience in northern Wisconsin. Two of us had it but not the other two.

  Economy is for light loads like running power tools, refrigerators or lights that intermittently switch off and on, and run less than near max voltages. When devices like refrigerators or freezers, or small heaters are off, it idles down to conserve fuel. When a thermostat or timer trigger, it automatically idles up to accommodate more voltage. Thus saving wasted fuel during idle time.
