I am sure the engines, trans, diff's are not a problem. The stuff I think about are computer gremlins and possibly anti lock braking parts, A/C stuff air dryers mainly.
Also is it worth changing the rear end gears to 2.75-3.00 or whatever unless you find someone to swap,an axle will cost around $1K and also what is the biggest advantage to singling, other than the extra cost of tires, brakes etc? small mileage gain. Singling short gives a tighter turn radius. Smoother ride if lightly loaded/bobtailed
Thanks for your input.
