Just another steering update now. Also got a lead on some 35s, going All Terrians just to keep road noise down. Planning on finishing out the exhaust from the bumper and need to put 4wd shifter in. Steering update below, working on tierod arms. Nearly able to keep them perfectly straight. Full steering lock to lock from full bump to droop.

Probably the angle of the pic, but it looks like the Ackerman is wack.

Just the .7 lense and caster at full bump. They'll maintain a correct angle. Both arms are perfectly mirrored and the same lever length.

So so so close now. Lost a little travel with the 35s but well needed. Steering is all in place just need a lot of bracing now.

Steering is almost done. A couple Misalignment spacers on back order and need to finish center link up.

Looks like the arms weren't moving exactly same. That's what the spacers are for?

Well it runs! Kinda. Lots if figuring out to do

Congratulations! That first start after a swap is always a special moment.

 

[Mackhedq]

Still kicking. Life is an sob

Get a bumper on there and call it done.

Alright an actual update. ReDID a lot of things since last post. Completely rewired the truck. Added cruise control. Relocated battery and finished up the entire interior almost. 4wd shifter is in too.

Also it actually runs right now! Found a much better tuner. It hasn't driven yet still working out everything.

Truck sounds amazing. Fixed a couple issues like the putting the MAF backwards. Arrow goes towards intake whoops. Unfortunately my transmission isn't pumping any fluid at all. Drained it and checked fluid level. 8QTs, which is okay. Torque converter spins without issue too. HP tuners shows imput shaft rpm so it makes me believe the pump is broken. That'll have to get rebuilt here first. Lucky i have a friend who specializes in 6L80s. Unfortunately friend to friend price isn't cheap when it comes to these. It will be built though. Should be good for 900hp after. Skys the limit then

I am the guy on FB that asked a few questions on the picture in the Sloppy group.
Definitely a good job that you have done so far!
The project definitely looks well sorted dude

You did a swap on the master cylinder to a Dodge unit?
What other brake upgrades have you done?
