Sounds like either way I've got a good project on my hands. I already got a complete custom exhaust, but that's just the start! In all honesty this is my first domestic project. Up until now everything has been an import.

Let me know how it turns out. I was looking at a complete Belltech kit today. Think it was a 3 inch and a 2 inch drop. Would I need control arms for that? Just got new ones a month ago... Think I should build the 4.2 or do a swap?

OK, so a regular socket... Not a deep well? And the Teflon tape is for the threads, correct? Any suggestions for a lowering kit?

Ok, so first I want to say thank you for all the help! I was experiencing a issue with oil pressure. Or so I thought. My oil pressure would drop to 0 at idle and I couldn't figure out why. I was told that it may just be the switch. So, I ordered one and got under my truck to change it. The old...

Thanks for all the info... I just got done reading the thread over on trailvoy concerning manual transmission and it seems like an awesome hassle. I'm waiting on the oil pressure switch and thermostat now. Didn't think about the temperature sensor. Guess I'll order that too. Again, thank you...

OK, so is there a way to check the switch? Like a voltage meter? Oh, and could you please tell me exactly where it is? Meant to mention this before, but it only does it after I've been driving for a while

I kept trying to reply, but it wasn't letting me

That's understandable, but now a damaged oil pan or a clogged pickup line (which I seriously think is my issue) is something like a major job.

On the side of the block near the filter? OK, so it's a pretty straightforward job? I'll definitely give it a try. Thanks I know this isn't a question either of us really has the answer to, but why in the world did they design this vehicle with the oil pan the way they did?!

Oil pressure gauge goes to 0 when I stop and goes back to normal under acceleration. Anyway to easily get to the oil pick up line in the oil pan. Think it's clogged. Also I'd like to lower it. Any suggestions? In the future I'd like to do an engine swap. Would that be a direct bolt situation or...
