The frame on my GMC actually is better built then the dodge that the Cummins came from, and ill have more cross bracing then factory so i think ill be good as long as i don't go sled pulling.

This is true, Although i bust my *** everyday working on this because it needs to be on the road by september/october so the pressure is on.. got the engine on the stand and will start working on it soon as i get this case mounted... i keep getting interupted this week.

I have a list of things to do inside of here like fixing the KDP changing seals, stripping any extra junk i don't need and making it immaculate clean and painted.

later on i plan on doing a HX35/HT3B compound turbo setup, cranking up the pump, aftermarket lift pump and injectors. I want to get close to 400HP/800ft lbs of torque at the wheels but we will see.
