sorry to tell you that the whole front of the a3 is ugly as ****, rearranging the headlights are not going to fix that. I am going to do a whole front clip transplant from an A2.
I label these as offroad use only due to insurance and liability reasons, I would have to run these through a DOT inspection etc. to claim they are hwy safe and I don't do that. That being said, I have ran these on my personal rigs for a loooong time and they run out true, smooth and very very...
Yeah I know what you mean, I do all of these by hand and I start out with 8 1" stitch welds all the way around to ensure no warping will occur then I do my seam welds, if I had some sort of a spinning jig I still don't think I could do one continuous weld, they are welded both front and back and...
wheels up close.
Here are some close up pics of the wheels that I am building. These are for a customer in Everett who is picking them up this weekend.
Air Dryer
Well after doing the turbo compressor mod I developed a fluttering air loss problem coming from my air dryer, this prompted me to rebuild it since I had no idea how long it had been since it had been done. It is relatively simple, the dryer is a Bendix AD-2 and all of the parts were...
thats what it was, I knew it was not the same as the fmtv, Soni priced them out and they were like 20k new for just the tranny no electronics or shifters.
Hey guys what Jim (R Racing) was getting at was that you grind the bevel that faces the hub off completely as I did on the rears of my 920 and then the wheel will sit flat, luckily on the 5 ton you only have to do the fronts not the rears, and there are only 20 buds total instead of 40. Enjoy.
If you stick with a 5 speed though I would not trust it to hold up to 300+ hp, I think the auto is the way to go, especially since the detroits only have two throttle position off and wide open the auto would make good use of the power ban. I don't think that what you are doing is that much of...
Hey Jeff, I am glad the LEO's did not harass you after you left spokane, its kind of a game of cops and robbers here, they know I make them and for the most part they leave me alone, they usually stop me just to shoot the breeze about the latest build once in a while, sometimes you will get...
Marine corp trucks, the conversion was done as a retrofit and also included an air ride cab which was ridiculous by design, when half the cab is rigid mount and the other is air, not real effective. They are an allison 7050 hd I believe, the model # is military specific and is not available for...
Turbo Air Compressor Mod
So this is an engine mod that does not have any engine performance gain but is a must for any owner of a 915-920 truck, for those of us who suffer with mediocre to pathetic air pressure recovery this is a great way to fix that. This used forced induction from your...
The allison in the 915 has a final drive ratio of 1:1 the cat is a .87:1 if memory serves, maybe .83, anyways if you swap a allison from a 915 in you will be a 50mph truck tops due to the much deeper rear end gearing. I love my Cat tranny when it loves me back, when if fights me I want to drive...
