    Project Atlas: '13 Ram 3500 build

    First off, it wont be fast. I've spent untold tens of thousands modifying cars throughout the last decade, and learned many lessons. The big one was, "do it right, do it once." The other was "it is possible to over-modify a vehicle, or to modify it to the point of not being fun." Also, this was...

    Out with the old, in with the new!

    So I bought a new truck. Let me begin by stating I don't really believe in fate much, but some times I question myself. Normally I wouldn't buy a (to me) super expensive rig that I plan to USE, but sometimes the stars line up, and things happen that you didn't expect. It started with me slowly...

    Advice from the maintenance and repair experts, please

    Or anyone with insight haha. My 03 suburban appears to have a slipping transmission. 4l85e behind an 8.1. Twice now it slipped in 4hi, once it got warm enough for the info reader to indicate it was getting hot. Drives and shifts fine, shop says it isn't throwing any codes, but that the fluid was...

    Honest opinions on the Grizzly locker?

    I'm getting the rear pinion bearing replaced on my burb in a week or so, and Randys Ring and Pinion said it would only be the cost of parts to add a locker (no extra labor), and I had planned to add a traction device anyway, so now I need to decide what to get. Originally I was going to get a...

    Theoretically, would it fit...?

    AEV Raised Air Intake System for the Ram. Do you think it would fit the contour of the NBS body Suburban? I was considering a snorkel for a LC, but their engines need far less air than my 8.1. I think the AEV looks large enough to accomodate, and it looks, well, sick. Thoughts? I may guinea pig...

    If you were to start all over with a brand new truck, which would you choose?

    Originally I was all on board with buying a 2017 Raptor 2 years down the road (wait until teething issues were solved), but I've been looking into the Power Wagon more and more because of the few builds there are here. I kind of like the idea of a truck with a full warranty that only needs a cap...

    Action shots! 2003 Suburban 2500 8.1 vs. Mother Nature

    She did well for the heavy tank she is. Helped pull an F250 out too! In the untouched areas, it was about 18" deep, and for the most part, had no issues getting around.

    NBS Suburban rear hatch latch ideas

    So unless I've missed it for the last 3 years, my suburban rear hatch has no way to be opened from inside the vehicle. I want to rectify this. I've been looking around the googles, and found 2 options that would work fairly easily I think. 1) Use an electronic door popper connected to a button...

    So I'm busy rebuilding the front of my truck, new ball joints, tie rods, rotors, pads, and caliper seals. Take calipers off, one side has phenolic pistons, the other steel. I know I read somewhere recently on this site, that one of the trucks or SUVs calipers had steel pistons, but for the life...

    Howling from rear end, increases with speed. Pinion bearing?

    My research indicates the pinion bearing wear, but what can I do to make sure it is infact the pinion? Noise started after a trip up the mountains to go shooting. No wheeling involved, just dirt roads. My friend heard the noise first. Not sure if relevant, but the truck is lifted 6" (3.5" in...

    Looking for a simple reliable battery monitoring system

    My truck already has dual batteries, one isolated. Im going to get a solar battery tender in the near future, but I'd like to be able to reliably monitor my batteries because the not so distant future has an ARB fridge in it, along with various other things that will run 24/7 while I'm...

    To Dmax, to to not Dmax?

    I've been debating swapping a Dmax into my NBS 3/4 ton suburban for about 2 years now. Lots of pros (mpg, power), lots of cons (cost, cost to fix). I've talked to the guys at duraburb, and as swaps go, it's pretty easy. 1-2 inch body lift to clear Allison, bolts to the same mounts my 8.1 uses...
