well for cost etc I myself am building my own ultimate combo... 95 cclb 4x4 f350 with a 12v and a 47rh with dhd. All costs considered and the slow shifting of the allison makes it less desirable plus I already had some parts for the rh. I went with obs to get away from CA smog laws.

It would be cool and all but then you get a ton of weight with batteries and then the electrical would be a nightmare if something got messed up
that's understandable, instead of batteries, i was thinking a bank of capaciters. maybe supercaps

not necessarily running on capacitors but a demonstration of the power of electricity:

Not to toot my own horn but I really like my setup

It was my first truck, lots of memories in it, and its here to stay. Its not near finished, but we're on our way

But if I had a second choice... LBZ duramax, 1970 C10 Chevy.

This truck is owned by Joe Komaromi, the owner of PPE, so its basically decked out with some of their best parts, namely the dual CP3's and a GT4094. I think it dyno'd at 640hp.

I'm almost done with the mechanical end of what I consider the Ultimate truck, but I'm probably a little biased, .

It's an '85 S10 ECLB on 1 tons with air-ride and 38's with a Duramax/Allison backed up with a 241/241 doubler. Built for DDing, pulling trailers, riding like a town car and excellerating like a Vette while being efficient to drive.

Didn't have the D-max in it yet in this pic, but everything else is the same.

Lol, I finally wore that one out. That's actually an old pic of the engine, I taped it up when I took the engine to the car wash before I put it in the truck.


Thanks 2004LB7.
