I honestly don't know how this even happened, I disconnected the X115 connector and wired pin 1 to the 12v on the headlight bulb and then either the low beam or high beam wire from the bulb to either the low or high beam pin and as soon as I connected it the windshield wipers started moving. It...

Well after doing some extensive testing I must have a short of some sort between the fusebox and the male side of the X115 connector causing my high beam and low beam filament to be engaged at all times(high beam still works and there is a noticeable beam change when high beams is enabled) But...

I'm wiring up some LED headlights and I must be confused about negative switched lighting. I was under the impression that the orange wire is a constant 12V with Blue and Pink being switched to allow either high or low beam be activated. This does not seem to be the case at all, I did do some...

I've been working on a set of headlights for like 2 years now but don't hold your breath, probably in the $600-800 range

Someone out there swapped a duramax into a H3

In my opinion If you are gonna go through the work of replacing the engine you might as well go V8. You can get a wrecked alpha for a couple grand and swap everything over, but you could argue that you could just fix the alpha instead

I saw a post from awhile back about a guy who made some A-Pillar Gauge Pods. Does anyone know if they are still obtainable? Looking for one for my V8 swap

Minor update, I know this thread is me mostly babbling about and I'm awful at structuring my paragraphs but maybe one day someone will find it useful. I did some width measuring today. My current setup with the aftermarket wheels it came with is 77" maybe 78" I didn't do a good job tbh in the...

Well update time. I got a D60 and a D44 for $4300. they do apparently use ram 1500 brakes from what I've read, theres not much info on these axles. I do really like how the brakes are on my h3, probably the most solid and firm brakes I've ever used but maybe thats all down to how you adjust...

Welp, they didn't want to ship them and I don't feel like doing a 14-15 hour round trip. Unless someone here lives near Oklahoma city and is willing to check them out for me and such

Ah, that makes sense, I imagine you off-road however? I might seriously consider the $4000 deal for the J8 front and rear axle I mentioned earlier if they are willing to ship, both axles use the same bolt pattern, designed for the JK series and the D60 is narrowed quite a bit, and they are...

The build by 4speed? i thought you had a GM D44? Doing more shopping I did find a guy in Oklahoma selling a j8 D60 rear with a j8 D44 front end for $4000 which I might consider

theres a set of D60s in town for $1000, I honestly might just say screw it and go D60 and save like $4000 I'll probably have to get them shortened otherwise they'll probably stick out like a foot, Disc brake conversion for the rear. Idk if I'll be happy with how high the truck will sit and the...

I'll be doing probably about 90% of it myself, might have someone do the welding not sure yet. I was debating on leafs, another build out there has them, 57hemicuda or something like that, I really like how their setup rides and sits. I might go coils especially considering that I might just be...

Interesting, I might just go with the JL axles then, I see that you can get a front and rear 392 axle for about $7000 w/shipping which isn't too bad but I'd rather not spend that much. Mounting the rear axle however, would be interesting As I said before, you can get bare housings for about...
