Tire Balancing Products Instead of powder, they use ceramic spheres. I'm not sure if they work with tubes From their website: Dyna Beads were designed for commercial trucks and large RV's. The commercial truck tire, be it a single axle Van, large RV, or an 18 wheeler, will quickly see the...

So monster trucks are running these transfer cases? If that's so there shouldn't be any problems with something like a Duramax/Cummins/Allison type swap. Thanks for the info. If they are used in the big show trucks then they must be pretty tough transfer cases. Have you ever separated the...

Does anyone know the max hp/torque the stock A2 transfer case can handle? I ask because I want to add hydraulics in back & keep the winch up front, meaning I need to spend the $$ for a rear output PTO. For reasons I don't care to get into, I plan to use a telescopic hoist instead of a scissors...

Just as long as you don't put tennis balls in a nylon stocking to look like testicles hanging from the trailer hitch. God I hate that. Technically, that should be considered obscene in public. I don't have kids. But if I did I wouldn't want to explain why the guy in front of us has testicles...

Yeah, I just bought the truck. I need to crawl under it & rip off the driveline to see why the parking brake isn't working. I had to kill the engine at the pumps then put it in gear. That kind of scared me because I wasn't too confident in the status of the batteries to restart the truck...

Yeah, I was reading about the power steering. Apparently the first HydroMax's did both. And the vehicles that had them didn't have any brakes when the steering was at full deflection (crawling down a hill into a tight corner). All the pressure was going to the steering, leaving little for the...

Welcome to AGR Perfomance, Inc. Welcome to AGR Perfomance, Inc. It just seems to me since the 2.5 ton Rockwell axles are all over the rockcrawling world there should be some easy, bolt-on upgrades that would work for the A2 with just slight modifications. But I don't know anything about...

Would the Saginaw steering box from a Hummer fit on the A2 as a direct bolt on, or is it too small for the truck? It just seems to me that upgrading to power steering shouldn't be that difficult. And there are aftermarket Hummer kits already set up for Ram assist. Just curious if anyone knows...

Would you happen to have any hyperlinks for these complete kits?

This seems like the simplest, safest, and more effective way to upgrade these brakes. Plus, this guy says they can be found with an integrated power steering pump. You could do two upgrades at the same time if you wanted, brakes & power steering. With big tires &/or differential lockers it's...

This is what I was looking for. Thanks to whoever wrote this a couple of years ago. So basically, it's not even a direct hydraulic system. It's hydraulic from master cylinder to open the diaphram. Then air pressure from the air tank pushes a larger piston that in turn pushes a second stage...

Probably best to just leave the system alone, flush it thoroughly, & replace all the wheel cylinders, shoes, and MC. The pinion parking brake might be useful as a backup emergency brake as well, even though it's not designed for that. But if the system ever did fail it would be nice to have...

I'll bring a usb flash drive, ear muffs, and a pillow for my backside.

I have dial-up internet at home. The high speed is at work & I'm on vacationaua

Is there a Chilton or Haynes type manual available for these things. I downloaded and printed the entire 400+ page operators manual. Basically it can be condensed into one sentence: "If you notice anything unusual, notify your supervisor" I wanted to see how this air assist braking stuff was...

What's the approximate stopping distance on dry highway from say 50 mph assuming the brakes are in good working order? I'm just curious.

Ok, half the area. With the same pedal displacement, that is pushing the brake pedal all the way until it bottoms out on the floor, you are still only moving 1/2 the volume of brake fluid compared to bottoming out the original master cylinder. Unless you plan to keep the brake shoes new &...

But Chuck, with twice the plunger travel on the MC you will still have to modify the pedal. Otherwise when the pedal is pushed flat to the floor, the MC plunger is only 1/2 pushed, and creates only 1/4 of the volume of fluid displaced as before. That doesn't sound safe to me. The force on...

That makes sense. But I can't find the double splined shafts at ODiron. Would the ones I linked to earlier from wherever that place was work? I would hate to spend hundreds of bucks to find out I'm 2 inches short on the axle. I'm not sure what the double-splined ones are normally for. Are...

Chuck that's true, But 3x the force wouldn't be that difficult to accomplish with a modified pedal. It's just a lever after all. "Give me a long enough lever and a fulcrum on which to place it and I shall move the world" ~ Archimedes A modified pedal could be made to have the exact same force...
