Traded in the Duramax this week

Beautiful truck sharkman! Will be a great camper hauler and looks very well cared for!
Southern truck? Or salt belt survivor?

The measurement from the front of the slide in to the rear tie down eyelet is 82", it's going to be a problem, might not make our camping trip next weekend, DW is not gonna be happy, so nobody's gonna be happy.

Nice truck!!
I bought mine new in 02 and have enjoyed it ever since. I'd really like a new truck but all the emissions junk has me scared off.

Can you measure the distance from the front of your slide in to the rear tie down eyelet?

Call Torklift yourself, but this is what they just told me...You can drill new holes in the Torklift extensions 1 inch farther in so the extensions are 1 inch farther out. Hope that makes sense.
Also I called Bigfoot and they said it was fine to bolt 1/2" machinery eyebolts (with a shoulder) in the camper hold down holes. I did that and used nylon locking nuts. I got the eyebolts on Amazon._2 of 5pc Set (1/2"x1-1/2") Self-Colored Heavy Duty Machinery Lifting Eye Bolt for $17.25

Someone on this forum suggested turning the Fastguns upside down.
All these worked well and I have good clearance.

deltabravo it was a 2005 2500HD GMC Sierra.

What was the truck with Duramax that you traded in on the dually?

I love my Duramax/Allison. I just don't drive it enough. In 26 more days I will have had it 9 years and it just hit 54k miles.

You can swap an Allison 1000 into a Dodge/Cummins, people do it and there are kits.
Transmissiontuner.com is probably the best in that business.
It’s not cheap though...
You can build the Dodge trans to be extremely strong but it’ll never drive and shift like an Allison.

Thanks K Mac, 5.9 diesel.
