Well I'm just trying to weigh all my options here Mud. 300hp is a far cry from a 500hp monster I was thinking about...but I think for that much less money I could live with 300hp. (and from what I've read in the last 2 hours 300hp is pretty doable on the 3116...correct me if I'm wrong) I was...

WAIT! STOP! HOLD the presses!!!! Am I reading correctly that the A3 model comes with a auto tranny and a cat 3116 motor? Just when I thought I had a plan too!!!

Ah, no worries man. I will have to figure out a hydraulic set up once at the same time I do the power steering. God I am going to be working on this truck for years! What if a guy were to use an allison with an adapter plate though?

Thanks for the help Mud. I am gonna dig into the TM's and read up a bit more about the T-case. I'd love to be able to buy a 4x2 donor truck instead of a 4x4, but I wasn't sure if the T-case would hold up. I am going automatic tranny all the way...I prefer it for offroad...(not that its...

Question: Donor truck transfer case or Deuce TC?

I know once I get my deuce I'm just going to install a butterfly valve on the fuel line under the truck...just like old school motorcycles. Very simple, and it'll do the trick nicely.

When you guys are doing the cummins conversions are you using the donor trucks transfer case or the deuce's? The more I think about this, the more I think I could get a donor engine and put it in a deuce (which I'd prefer, just thought it'd be more headache than the other way around)

You make some very valid arguments here...you could then dump the heat via a radiator in the bed. (the heat will eventually have to go somewhere)

Thanks for the heads up! I'll be back in Rucker June 2nd, and I'll be ready to move on this project as soon as I get back!

Well mudguppy, I originally thought of that, but then also thought of the extra hassles I would go through the way you are planning....12volt conversion, power steering, wheels, the bob itself. thats just the start of the list. I dont think that I am going to use this truck for much more than...

Frodo, I'm still in Germany, but as soon as I get back to good ole Ft. Rucker, Alabama, I'll be starting on this project. I figure I can do the quad cab up in the garage, drive the truck as-is until the cab is completely done...then the expensive parts start on the engine mods I have planned...

Stretch44875 Hey bud, thanks for all the info, but I was looking at one of the 5 tons at work today and I dont think that monster would do well at all in the woods, even if I did put it in a deuce...that engine has to weigh 2000lbs!!! I'll build up a mild 12valve (500hp lol) and put the...

Well thanks a bunch for all the feedback guys. I honestly hadn't given the multi ability much thought...I just thought these were kick ass trucks....but honestly once I sat here reading for several days (6 hours a day....my wife is thrilled! lol) I realized that I am going to want to do a...

Makes me wonder about alot of things. I am an active duty chinook pilot...and we go though hydraulic fluid by the drum...even our transmission oil (more like gear oil)...we're talking at least 100 gallons a week in my company alone...one drain and flush on a single transmission is 20 gallons of...

Hello all, New to the site, but I've been around deuces for a long time. After lurking here for awhile, (and using search :P) I have to ask the inevitable question: Why no aftermarket engine upgrades? I think its disgusting that a 1400lb engine with almost 500ci displacement is only...

Hi guys, my first post here, and I wanted to weigh in on this topic. While I really REALLY like HotRods build, and would be lucky to call a machine like that my own, that long of a wheel base wouldn't be very practical for any place off road in a 3 mile radius of a tree ...lol. So, my plan...
