97 3500hd DURAMAX CONVERSION

[THEFERMANATOR]

I would strongly reccomend a PRO-COMP front fixed yoke conversion kit for the transfer case and put in a KENNEDY wear plate in the case as well for insurance.

You may want to take a look at LONNIES build on his older GM truck.

EDIT: PRO-COMP doesn't seem to offer the kit by itself anymore, ORU(off road unlimited) carries it now. It's not cheap, but if you plan on using 4 wheel drive it will be a neccesity with those driveline angles you have.

Yea unlimited offroad is the only place i could find s slip yoke eliminator kit its like 500 bucks, its hard to swallow that much lol, but i have to have it. Do you think if i just get that kit and use a constant veliocity joint in my drive shaft that it will work. Or do you think i should try to find a clocking kit for the transfer case. Do you anyone that makes a clocking kit. sorry for all the questions.

the bolt pattern for the NEW PROCESS transfer cases is universal, so an ADVANCE ADAPTERS one should do the trick. The difference was that GM and DODGE were clocked 90 degrees out from each other. If you went with a CV at the T case I would think you would be fine with it.

I will call advanced adapters tom. and see how much they are. I got you another questions since my tcase is eletronic i want to retro fit a push button from my body style truck instead of the 01 push button could it be done.

It might be doable, but I honestly couldn't tell you for certain. I know that the 01+ works in conjunction with the class 2 data bus for info like 4 low and when it's in 4 wheel drive. The encoder motor on the 263 is nothing like that of the earlier styles I have seen either. I went with a floor shifted 261 to simplify all of that as I already had the floor shifter in mine.

I agree with theferm about data bus communications.... If you want the pushbutton controls, I'd suggest keeping the control panel that matches the model year of your engine/trans package. Just be a little creative in how you incorporate the pushbutton control panel into your existing dash. This would make it a whole lot easier, and it'll look good if done right.
