O snap I didn't know you was near savannah, I am up in statesboro. Great looking truck btw.where did you get the lq4 from.

got it from Aaction auto parts here in savannah, i guess they have some parts network and got it from SC they did a test run before they pulled it from a wrecked truck.

If you don't mind me asking, how much did you pay for it and how many miles? I know I can get one from lkq but they are expensive.

well i've had a few people ask about the traction bars so here are the drawings i made to have them cut out, obviously you need to measure your setup before you have these made since i can only gauruntee that they fit on my truck lol

hopefully this helps anyone wanting to make their own set and save a couple hundred bucks!

Sweet build on the truck and congrats on getting everything up and running.Thanks for all the input with the Traction Bars. Do you have any more progress to add to this build thread? Are you running a 9" rear?

Yes i am running a 9" rear, right now the truck has been sitting for 2 months due to work, i got it on the battery charger now and hopefully i'll have some time to work on it, still having some fuel pressure problems but someone gave me a fuel rail with a regulator so i'm going to try that and see if that helps or fixes the problem i have now then i'll get back to working on logs for Nelson to do some more tuning!

I LOVE MY JOB!

well due to my job that i love so much absolutely no progress has happened on my poor green meanie but i did save up enough cash to get a AES 390 shortblock that they are gonna be building soon, after that i still have to figure out where the wire is thats screwing up my gauges and grounding them out so i can get that crap working. and THEN change out the fuel rail and regulator to try to get my fuel pressure to act right! and THEN i have to get a better intercooler for the dang procharger! its neverending!!!!!!!! its killing me to be home and see that dang truck sitting there not able to drive it. a buddy took me for a ride in his LS powered mustang to get me in the mindset to get my shit back running lol!

Awesome build. Did you end up sending it to procharger to get reclocked or did you do it yourself? Im doing a similar build with my 6.0 and im not sure if mine is clocked right.
