thanks for the great discussion and info here. I will take measurements and pictures of the 1500HD and post them tomorrow.

Brian, I had to "customize" my kit to fit it on my 2500HD the system and instructions are really designed for a 1/2 ton truck, which the 1500HD is not, the only thing ProCharger added to my kit was some longer down tubes to clear the bigger frame but there was no instructions on how to mount the intercooler on a HD vehicle, just had to figure it out myself. I ended up drilling and tapping the tubular brace just behind the bumper and Modifying (cutting) the the bracket that came with the kit to mount the rear of the intercooler. Here is the only pic I have available, and I only have internet available at work right now so uploading more pics is not really an option for me.




BTW - Check your PM....

I measured the thickness to be .150 inch
these are pictures of the front frame and suspension of a 2003 1500HD

there seems to be a weld/joint just in front of the rear axle, you can see it in the second picture.

Brian - Those are some great pictures and info. Thank you.

Do you mind if some/all of the pics are used in a "FAQ" about the differences in the different frames?

i thought the 1500hds where just a 1500 crewcab with the 6.0 and 2500hd or 2500 axels and 4L80e???




ive seen a 13th frame oh wait i mean 13 ghosts hehehe

BrianGallimore

OK by me!

BrianGallimore

it was a surprise to me too.

I always thought the 1500HD and 2500 used the light frame, but they use the 2500HD frame from the front to the rear axel... then it gets small.
