I think Brandan from Dallas and with Terminal Velocity is getting the SAS but not sure about the V8.

Not sure if he is still around here... but maybe the Dallas folks will chime in smile

Don't put yourself out calling, I was just curious. I've been looking for someone to give me a straight answer about towing my truck 4 down. Nissan won't let you speak directly to an engineer and all of the Nissan mechanics I've talked to just quote the manual. Anyway, I saw the truck and stopped to talk to the mechanics and in the process found out major mods were in the works. I remember seeing a thread on the rollbar he had installed and thought I'd see if he was still on the board. From what I was told they were swapping the entire drivetrain. Dana's front and rear pushed by an LS1 with an AtlasII transfer case. Cost has gotta be more than the truck itself by the time it's finished.

Yeah he was swtiching out both axles and going to I believe dana 44's and all sorts of goodies. If I talk to him I'll let you know.
