    Duramax in a Half Shell

    Have you thought about getting someone good with sheet metal work to cut the tunnel out and raise it and add a little metal to stay away from the body lift? Sent from my DROIDX using Tapatalk 2

    Duramax in a Half Shell

    Looking good Tom! Is the body going to have to be modified for the trans to fit or you think you'll have enough room to squeeze by? Sent from my DROIDX using Tapatalk 2

    LMM: Vibration in rear

    Totally understand. I will get done better pictures for you guys. But the shim is just below the block and would say is about 1/8" thick on the forward side of the axle. Sent from my DROIDX using Tapatalk 2

    Best picture I could find. Shows the shim though. In the next couple weeks I'll look into removing it and seeing if it helps with the angles.

    Yes there is a drop bracket one that not cal nick sent that is used on other cognito lifts. I thought it was axle warp as well but put ladder bars on it and nothing to reduce the vibration. Sent from my DROIDX using Tapatalk 2

    LMM: Vibration in rear

    When I had the drive shaft out I didn't notice out being loose. Is there a certain way to hold onto it and check for slop or just see if it moves in and out our side to side with the shaft off? Do have to add that the seal is leaking a little. Sent from my DROIDX using Tapatalk 2

    LMM: ABS and Brake light on WOT

    Yup lights are never on then if I go WOT they turn on and you hear the chimes. Once I turn off the truck no more lights as long as I drive like a normal person, once it's WOT everything lights back up. Sent from my DROIDX using Tapatalk 2
