Yeah it would be a royal PITA for 4x4 trucks as you have to tear into your exhaust system so you have room to move the trans back, if you have the stock Y removed and have duals you'll be fine but the stock Y gets in the way on the 4x4s, plus there are a few extra things that need to be removed.

 

Just a quick question, I've seen it done both ways. Is it easier, w/4x4, to pull the engine instead of the transfer case & trans?? I know it was on some of the older trucks, but I've never had either out of a 3rd gen.

 

You really only need to remove the exhaust, the Y to be more precise. If it is welded up the your basically pulling the manifolds of to get the Y off or cutting the Y and going duals out the back.

 

This is the reason why I am clamping my system together when I put the headers on. Don't want to have to cut it up if I decide to put in a converter.

Silver, if you head out this way I know a guy with a lift. He might let you use it. Just a short drive for you

 

i have some family in Pittsburgh but we fly there lol

 

That's not going to get it done. You need to drive that thing out here. By then I will hopefully have a cam install under my belt and we could throw one in your truck too

 

My wife just asked me if I wanted it for christmas! The she realized it was $144 off... noty $144 for sale.... lol

 

how long of a drive am i looking at teach?

 

It be a shorter drive with less snow out this way. I know a guy with a shop and a guy that can do the install. Then we can see how fast your truck really is

 

lol yea your right. its only about 16 hrs to you according to google maps. maybe in the summer if i get the parts. but it would be tq, headers, and cam lol
