      The smart thing to do is NOT swap the diff... use the 4wd lock-in, and if you are making so much power to the front that you start blowing up shaft couplers then get a custom solid passenger side output shaft for the original diff housing.... could easily be that the passenger side shaft from the SS diff drops right in, I'd bet a case of beer that it does.

    This makes me really miss my K1500 based Suburban. My suburban was decked out with all the power options, push button, 4 wheel drive, dual gas tanks, a massive power converter system to drive 2ea 12" LCD screens in the back of the driver/pass headrest, a Sony DVD,VCR, Playstation 2, a 15" LCD hanging from the roof for row three to watch DVD/Blu-ray or play a 1st generation Nintendo. The back had a 3cup coffee maker, small microwave, small apt refrigerator, a Panasonic scanner/printer for my laptop in the sudo tailgate office with fold out table and camp chair. Mine was also lowered but only about 3 inch because I had 22 inch wheels. It had full running boards, factory roof rack, spare tire mounted on rear pass door. It had rear ended a simi truck and the entire front clip was swapped with one from and Escalade.

    The auto locking front diff is similar to my old Toyota Surf, deleted that vacuum operated Auto diff disconect, (ADD) by removing the actuator and sliding the dog across so it was locked full time and putting a hose clamp on the shaft so it couldn't slide back unlocking the diff,, then simply taking off the outer hub cap and installing free wheeling hubs,,,,, you have to do this mod to fit any sort diff locker,, in my case i installed a Auto locker,,, from Lokka(that is the companys name. LOKKA) here in Australia,, totally transformed the 4wd into a beast, no tracks it couldn't drive thx for the vids mate .. great content

    I remember as a kid when this body style came out. It was way different than what the others were putting out at the time. Looked futuristic in comparison. I fell in love with the Sport edition. One of my uncles ended buying a red Chevy C1500 Sport and took it to Mexico. I was on vacation with my parents and that's where I saw it up close for the first time. After coming back home to the US, my uncle ended selling it/trading it in for the Super Sport with the 454 V8. Man that thing looked mean af in all black. My dad ended getting a '94 Silverado extended cab with the 4.3 V6 yrs later. I think if I ever get one of these, I would for a '95 or newer Silverado, with the newer and much improved interior/dashboard, that and it would just be newer.

    Love this build! As both an Audi Quattro owner and a 4th gen SS owner this is VERY interesting! Great job! Disappointing ending though, would rather have seen it carving up some twisty paved roads...
    P.S. I’m assuming you can do this to a Tahoe as well?

    Finally! Someone else who puts the fasteners in the holes they came out of. Much easier to keep track of everything and you dont just have a can of bolts. My old boss always used to yell at me for doing it

    Great work on the truck. 👍 I like it. 👌 Though I personally prefer the classic front look of the original 88' K1500, including it's quad rectangular lights.

    I love it. I have a 98 k 1500 I want to do this to. Without the lowering. I like the thought of all wheel drive. Cause I do about 120 miles a day down the highway to work and winter time sucks. I like the older trucks better they suit me fine just like a few upgrades. Like what you just did.

    I’ve been gathering parts for a build very much like this for a few years. I’m using an AWD transfer case from a 2005 Silverado SS with a modified 32 spline input shaft to run behind a 4L80 and 408 c.d.i. stroked 6.0 liter iron block LS motor. Still looking at different donor trucks, but the 1/2 ton 88-98’s are definitely prime candidates.

    • @magnumcipher4971
      @magnumcipher4971 Рік тому

      @@rollintat2z255 I haven't made it that far, but I've had shafts machined and heat-treated in the past for odd transfer case arrangements, namely a couple Ford NP205's to GM automatics, both 27 and 32 spline variants to the Ford 31 input. I've also used a spud adapter with some success so long as the power levels aren't too crazy. I have the 4L80 and the converter built and ready to go but worst case scenario I have a (smoked) 4L65 that might hold up. Just not a fan.

    I'm not a fan of lifted trucks and always wanted to do a lowered 4X and just came across your build. Its totally awesome although I would prefer 3 pedals now. That may change if I have to get knee replacement. My '04 Dodge 2500 Quad cab, long bed, Cummins 6 speed only lowered 2 inches. That's all I could do without going into a lot of fab work and it will do for now. I would like to have a smaller truck Inot an s-10 as this diesel is a beast to horse around town. But it will pull anything without batting an eye and gets great mileage even with big injectors and a larger Borg Warner turbo. Well done on the "K".
