    That'd be a great deal... if you want to put an IRS in your truck. Unfortunately the Vette's use a trans-axle combo. You'll need a T-56 out of an f-body or Viper for your application.
    New project truck:

    '00 ECSB 4wd, 5.3, 3" body lift, gap guards, 18x9 Moto Metal 951's, 305/60/18 Mickey Thompson MTZ's

    To-do list: Built rear end, 6.0 swap with built top end, 4L80e, and a couple bottles in the bed.

    krwyellowZ28 Currently, my only goal is to get my truck faster than my brother's rclb Duramax.


    i have that same stinking problem with my brother. He's got the 06 duramax 4 door regular bed. 9'lift, and rolling on 37's and with the edge, his truck is fast as HECK. I think i finally got him though. I was on it pretty good today on the way home from getting my truck tuned and i was able to stay with him, and start pulling on him around 4 rpm's. Once i get a new t56 in, i should beable to pull on him pretty good.

    As you put miles on your new tune, your truck will get quicker. Wait for about a month. Put about 1k miles on the tune and you should be able to walk away...

    The D-Max's run pretty good with a few easy upgrades. My brother has an '01 rclb 4x4 with 33's, abreviated exhaust (the new 4" is still sitting in the garage in a box ), swiss-cheesed stock air box, a Super Chips programer and the Edge Juice/Attitude. With it stacked to the highest (90+120 I believe), he ran a 14.1 straight off the farm. Removing the tool box, tail gate, headlight, and switching back to the 265's got him down to a 13.8. That's faster than my old '93 6 spd bolt-on Z28.

    And the kicker is, when it was time to head home, we put everything back in it, and then it pulled another tuck and 2 rockets home on the 25' dove tail.

    Ya, the Duramax's these day can make some serious power.... My brother was looking at upgrading the turbo a boost, through the edge, and he had been talking to some people, and they said not to, because you blow the heads off. Pop them off like your opening a beer can.. I guess the studs that are in the heads right now aren't strong enough to take more than i think he said 45lbs of boost from the turbo. Crays! But fun as hell, and you got to love the suit
