We did it to his, and it is WAY better, but the steering still has some play to it, because the steering box needs to be replaced. Keep us updated on the truck and your mods! We would all love to hear about it!

Will do, I did notice after taking it down the road a little further that is does have a pull to the right even on a road with very little crown and was pretty flat. Cant complain too much about that though compaired to how my 90 cummins goes down the road.

Congrats! that is a sweet truck. It's a "Holy Grail" truck in California

My brother's pulled to the right as well because the tires were worn unevenly from the un-aligned front end. When it was re-aligned, it stopped pulling to the right. Keep us updated!

Probably throwing a new set of rubber on it anyways so they will do all of that then.

Another quick question, right now the truck has a smaller aftermarket filter and im pretty sure aftermarket intake tube. I was looking at some BHAF's and the inlets are 4in which is the same as the intake tube on it right now. So what are you guys running for a set up to connect the two?
