Ah hey man was your water pump threaded for the heater port? My gates came with the pulley and non threaded.

Mine wasnt threaded. It's a small pipe with an o ring that slides down in the hole and attaches by a bolt next to it

Drums are easy. Don't pull both sides at once tho. If you forget how to put it back together you can use the other side as a reference

Next time I do brakes I'm figuring I'll have to do calipers and rear shoes. Calipers are gonna be upgraded to 94-6 2500LD calipers for some extra punch.
Easier to do yourself bud.

Cheaper to do it yourself, Easier to take it somewhere.

Will the 01 calipers fit? I'm glad you said that because anything to help the stopping power for these trucks. It was fine with codered but ronda is 5,400 lbs and has a 360

Need some good information here. I have an o2 sensor that needs replaced but I been thinking about buying a wideband. I know it wouldn't hook in and run correctly but I'm more interested in hooking it into my SCT x3 for some scanning. Question?... Leaving 1 sensor unplugged in my truck would cause it to run in closed loop correct? So assume I leave 1 unplugged mytruck will no longer try to achieve a 14.7 correct? Was wondering if I replaced the o2 and put a wide band in if the truck will try to achieve 14.7 or not? I just don't know if the ECU tries to adjust constantly even with a tune?

I know I can modify the multipliers on power enrichment at various rpms to increase fuel (pulsewidths). Just confused lol

I don't think the 2500ld calipers did much, can't really notice a change. I did the rear gm 1 ton cylinders though and that was definitely noticeable. If i did it again I would have went with ram 1 ton cylinders instead because I think the gm ones are a little much.

01 has dual piston calipers, already have the best brakes. The benefit of the ram 2500ld is that the piston is 80mm vs stock 1500 75mm.

01 calipers will only work if you swap the knuckles to 01 knuckles.

I wanted to do 01 brakes til I found out the knuckle situation. Mark says the 2500LD calipers are better anyway. He also said the GM 1-tons were too touchy to be safe. lol I'm with you, when the cylinders go, I'm getting Ram 1-tons. My fiancee said the brakes are better than they used to be but she still had to use two feet to get it to stop a couple times. :roflsquared:
