2015 Durmax swap and solid front axle build under way.

wiring anyone? Its not as bad as it looks.. nothing impossible yet

industrious swap
should be a beast when you are done

cleaned that nasty crap tar GM puts on the frame...

Wax. Pretty cool build, nice to see and earlier generation powertrain in the newer body. As for the solid front axle, one the one hand I agree but every time I see an off-road comparison, the IFS goes everywhere the solid one does all the while they complain about it.

I sure it can go but they break.. The IFS in the Durmax trucks brake steering rods often.
Truck owners do solid axle swaps because other than that the trucks are great. They are also weaker when lifted. I will be giving up some ride quality but the factory IFS stuff (1/2 ton) shouldnt be under a 500+hp and 1000+tq 6.6L Duramax. Besides I wanted 4 wheel drive. Yukon was 2wd

You're right about that! Some guys have put the 9.25 IFS up under the 1500s. You going to make a few passes with it at the drag strip afterwards? Would be cool to see what she does.

Need time to work on it and more planning a front solid axle. Need to wrap the wiring up and fire the motor. I will feel better about things after that. Fuel tank and Airdog feeding system done.
