Factory s10 master. Deleted all the abs as well.

Thank you for the comment! Yea the trans Is a little problematic, but it is still going somehow. The nv3500 is great in stock form, but the added stress of 40s and just the general abuse of offroading is definitely taking it's toll. I don't know a whole lot about the t5 other than it's supposed to be weaker than the nv3500?? Don't want to swear to that, but something I read somewhere along the way. I have all the parts to swap the big boy tranny in there, and am hoping to get to it this summer. Definitely doesn't hurt to go overkill sometimes. Keep rocking with your project!!!!

Thank you for your opinion, but I disagree

That' does make freeway driving alot nicer haha!!

Thanks 👍

Thank you. It's definitely a labor of love.

I agree!!!

@@ClinkenbeardStrongi actually just sas a ranger but they legit make nothing for a sas for rangers

@@Zed-uh8js the struggle is real!!!!

I believe heated seats for this truck will be an upgrade for the future!!

Haha. I definitely felt like a dummy for a minute. But was enjoying the heck out of them for the rest of the day.

Thanks man. He created these incredible places for us to explore and experience. I'm just lucky enough to be in a place that I get to do that in a fun way with good freinds, and my beautiful family. It's an incredible way to get closer to him.

@@ClinkenbeardStrong Yes sir I go out in the woods sometimes on the weekends after a long work week I had an O2 Sonoma crew cab 11 in of lift I had a channel all about it sold it a couple years ago I've got the newer ZR2 now!

@@waltersteffensthezr2man431 nice! It's just good to be able to get away from the chatter and constant noise!

Thank you.

What kind of info are you needing?

What model 2wd did you get the wye from? The 4x4 one is right in front of the front axle pinion

@@gozuki44 I got one from the same year truck as mine, just a 2wd version. The 4wd one goes under the front driveshaft. So when you solid axle swap the truck you would need to modify that to clear the new front driveshaft position. The 2wd one doesn't loop down, so it works well in a solid axle swapped truck.

I would agree!!

5:13, but would go with 5:38 if I were to redo it.

Will it run highway speeds with that 4.3

@@e954rr2 yea, does 70-80 in the flat lands no problem. Hills you gotta run it a little, but still maintains 65 or so. Did an 800 mile trip of mixed highway and dirt over 10 days. Had my rtt and almost 800 lbs of gear and still did fine.

@@ClinkenbeardStrong nice

Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Not many people do SAS and its cool you are building one yourself and taking pride in it. Ive done one to my 83 S10 with a V8 swap and did a 69 Bronco HP44 with Chevy knuckles so its stays 6 lug to my 98 Tahoe. You brought back some old memories when I remembered on my 83 the steering was backwards and was going to put a full size gear box on the outside of the frame before finding out the astro vans were reverse. That info back in 1998 when I built it was not available online and found out well just looking for a steering box at U-Wrench It. Im getting ready to start working on another dune truck and was considering the Nv3500 transmission as im also a fan of manuals but dang are they hard to come by.

@@PostalRedneck yes it's definitely something to take pride in. I think anyone that puts their heart and soul into something should be proud of it. The steering stuff is definitely an old school trick. That's a cool way to find out about it. I love cruising the pick and pulls. As far as the nv3500 goes I would maybe look for a 4500 instead?? I'm having strength issues with my 3500 and 40s. I will be doing a video soon on swapping to an nv4500.

Thank you so much for the question.Honestly it's a pretty broad question. I would love to answer it. But its going to be quiet the conversation. If you would like, you can dm me on Instagram or email me and I would gladly go over that with you.

@@ClinkenbeardStrong thank you

Thank you. I did know that, and I appreciate the input! That is definitely an option for the future. I believe there are a set of calipers off off a newer style caddy as well that would bold right in place of the s10 calipers though. That's will be my first option when I get to that point.

@@ClinkenbeardStrong yes the caddy elderado is the car i was speaking of. I beleive they came off an early 2000s

@@1994Nic1994 that's great, thank you!

@@ClinkenbeardStrong you are welcome! Good luck with your build! Its turning out awesome!

Thank you for the suggestion, and thanks for watching!!! Dakota's can be a cool platform. Have fun with your build.

Sounds like either of those locations are beautiful. Just gotta find the fun in them.

You could always build another!!

Very true my friend I have a real soft spot for the S10 crewcab!

@@waltersteffensthezr2man431 they are neat little trucks. It's definitely a "dream" build.

Sounds like a fun gig!! Merry Christmas to you and yours as well!!

The only way to make that come true is take that first step! It took me two years to build mine. Waiting to find the right parts for the right deal. I'm rooting for you!

I did it all myself. I enjoy the process of building it almost more than using it.

It's actually a really simple swap. I'm gonna change it to an nv4500 this winter hopefully, and will do an indepth video on all that!

@@ClinkenbeardStrong well at least you had a two-door 4x4 Blazer you could take apart and have all the pieces you needed and knew exactly how they all went back together which is awesome

@@waltersteffensthezr2man431 that was definitely helpful.

Thank you!

17" rims, 40" tires.

17" rims, 40" tires.

Well we will definitely find out won't we haha.

Hell yeah I wish I lived closer I'd go with you lol

Thanks man. Have fun with your new build!!

That's a really hard question to answer! Mostly because prices have changed over the years, and it really depends on how you go about it. But I would have to say it's probably close to a couple Grand just to do the front side of it. Just to give you a rough idea I paid 3300 bucks for my truck, and have close to 9k into it at this point. But that does include everything that I've done to it.

Awesome, and thank you! Keep on rocking!! There's not much more gratifying than getting to build your dream.

@@ClinkenbeardStrong True enough word's... and built not bought means alot!😉✌️

If you don't do anything with the computer, you will get a light. But the truck is still perfectly driveable. I had a guy that's local that does LS harnesses reflash my computer to tell it that is its a manual, and give it a bit more power. I've heard that your local GM dealer should be able to do that as well.

Thanks for the info, I will try and find someone that can do that to my computer since in the state I live in the vehicle won’t pass smog with a check engine light on even if it’s not emissions related

@@714montoya I would start by talking to your local dealer.
