So I am tired of breaking parts and have decided to start on my 2005 2500 4x4 single cab. I will just swap in my current drivetrain from my 2003, so the real expensive stuff is taken care of. I know there are better options out there for lighter/better parts, but I am trying to invest very little as I dont want to tie up a bunch of money in this truck.
Looking to use all the factory sheet metal, just lightened up. Gutted bed, no interior, gutted doors, all lexan windows, rack and pinion steering, all mild steel cage, and back halved.
My goal is at least 5000lbs at race weight.
My first question is, does anyone have pictures of a rack and pinion setup on one of these 4wd trucks? I plan on using a R&P from a 2002 2wd 1500 I have for a parts truck. Any info would be awesome on that subject.
Also looking for recommendations on a good heavy duty 4 link kit for the rear, and any help in converting the factory harness to a stand alone ECM harness is needed.
