Answer
Hi Tye,
That's not the area I work in. I do very little modifying from stock.
I will send a link that will have an area where you can get some answers.

http://www.chevytalk.org/

It is a Chevy lovers forum. Many mechanics and service managers, as well as just owners and drivers.

Look through several areas.

You don't need to even sign up to look, but signing up is free, and you will just love that site. I go there all the time, and am known there as fixitfox33. Hope to see you there.

I have been maintaining a fleet of approximately 55 light, medium and heavy vehicles for over 20 years. Most are 4X4 pickups and off road fire fighting trucks. Some medium duty trucks. Some military light trucks. I can answer most questions concerning 4X4 engine, drive line, suspension, electrical, and fuel, both diesel and gasoline. Ford, GM, and Dodge, old and new, but prefferably not newer than 99.
