    I'm in the process of doing the ifs swap to leaf spring straight axle front end. Was wondering what axle I need. Was told 78 to 79 Ford 1 ton.

    If you can find one, get the 78-79 Dana 60. You can buy caliper brackets to retain your factory front brakes and have the hub machined to keep your ABS. You get to keep factory lug pattern as well.

    How does TrboDyn compare to Amsoil?

    I’ve been using synthetic oil since I started driving, started with Mobil1 and tried Amsoil then switched to Schaffer oil. I’ve never had an oil related engine failure and I keep stuff to 250-300k miles. What benefit would this oil have over any other good synthetic oils?

    It looks like a gallon of 5w40 is over $70

    GM 2.8 Liter 4 cylinder Duramax diesel engine going into their vans

    They should be able to bump the power up some then, if they use it.

    It will have an 8spd trans behind it so that may help it out.

    Injection pump time

    I have a nice brand new pump to install in the near future with new injectors. I want to ditch the factory filter setup and go with a spin on and replace the lines while Im at it. Is the FTB mod worth doing on the pump inlet? Anything else I should be doing while Im at it?

    Axle Wrap Stopping Ladder Bars

    I would add something to the frame attachment to allow for flex. Like already said the fixed point at the frame limits the leafs from moving freely. This is OffRoad Designs setup I have a picture of,

    What's the strongest winch I can mount to a 'clip-on' style brush guard? Or just no?

    It will just pull the brush guard off and damage the bumper.

    New motor break in oil recommendations

    Just run a non synthetic oil and change it out at 500 miles then 1000 then do the regular oil changes. Swap to synthetic at 10k and you should be fine. The only thing to realy seat in the new motor is the rings. Drive it easy for 100-200 miles then load it up some to build cylinder pressure.
