That's a pretty mean truck you've got there. I'm assuming it's got a t56 swap too? I was surprised to hear it shifting gears like that.

Love it!
I've got a 1996 Silverado reg cab short bed with 5.7 NV3500 that I want to install a t56/6060 and a new gen DFI 5.3(in the distant future/two or three years)
Two things,
1, I put a Hellwig rear sway bar in a few days ago and the truck does a lot less tail wagging when getting into the throttle-and it feels much more planted, it application was for a 3500 dually, but it also fit lowered c1500's. I say this because I noted a very similar wag in one of your vids.
2, What size tires you running-they look good! I'm running the 275/60/15-but I'm lowered 4" in the back and 2" in the front. I'd like to persue another possible size.
Also-more vids please!
Great swap man!
Cheers.

Nice! And well let me know if you have any questions in the future! And i too want to swap a t56 in the near future hopefully next summer! And yea i tend to swerve a lot! Im probably gonna get a sway bar in the future as well. This summer I'm gonna do the 4/6 drop and put on some 19x12s in the rear that i have waiting so traction shouldn't be a issue after that! And thanks man, will do!

These are the 19x12s
