Vehicle on the left was mine. We were operating out of COP Timberwolf Iraq, 2007-2008. I would love to have one of the LAV-25's parked in my driveway!

I will paint mine black. Maybe when I repaint the truck with CARC I'll paint them along with the camo pattern.

Black, to match all the other black accents on your truck.

I asked about hard lines when I was getting the trans rebuilt. (The guy I used does some drag strip cars too.) When I asked he said for what I was doing and the amount of rubber hose, it would not cause any issues. I made sure to run the rubber hose away from anything sharp, hot, or anything...

I have some seats out of a newer Silverado to install in my truck. Nice seats too- leather, power and heated! Problem is mine is an M1028 with the bench seat. So I'll have to to some figuring before they get put in. Ha ha.

No problem. Glad I could help. As an update, it's been 1 year, 5 months and over 11,000 miles, and I have had a total of ZERO problems with this set up. I am very glad I took the time and effort to do this upgrade.

I am very happy to have a strong 4L80E transmission in my truck. Here is my write-up: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/cucv/64004-mythical-cucv-4l80e-swap.html#post759424

:ditto: I live in southern California, so I didn't need a fuel heater. No disadvantages for me, especially because I had the stock filter base that I could not keep from leaking.

Awesome. thanks for the info. I've been wanting to get an on board air system for a while! It's a pain driving slow for miles to the nearest gas station to air up after a trip off road...

What did you use for onboard air? An electric compressor?

Nice buy! Have fun with it!:driver:

Here's one from when it was raining out here last week and I couldn't find anything to do but get the truck dirty.

Ha ha, I'm really not in a rush for them, I'm just excited to get em and put them on! I've been wanting some sliders since I put some dents in the lower body at the 4 wheel parts car crush last year. Ha ha...

I can barely wait! I'm excited to get em!

Hey that's my truck!!! I have a 4" lift with 37" tires in this video. It wasn't really that deep, maybe 35" at the deepest part. The water level was at about the bottom of the motor. I've been in deeper mud too- about 12" up the doors! The water was seeping thru the doors that time. :driver: Ha...

Today I replaced the glow plugs and then I took the truck to play in the mud a little.

Gotta love youtube... Here's how it works

Sorry, I should have clarified a bit more. Ha ha. It came with the TH400 and the 208 transfer case, and I had the problem with it slipping out of 4wd before I swapped out the TH400 with the 4L80E. When I was doing the swap is when I had the 208 t-case rebuilt.

I was going to build a set on my own, but I've got too many projects going on right now! Ha ha... Sending you a PM!

I don't know how I never saw this thread in the past! Great stuff! It's pretty close to what I want to do with my truck. Keep up the good work!
