Those look like 14.00 s on the picture you posted. As Blackrock said, with a better wheel offset the j pipe is your main concern. If you feel that will be a problem you can reroute the exhaust like the a3's are. They basically eliminated the j pipe and 90° turned through the same hole in the...

Maybe if you really got the truck in a bind. But with the correct wheels and the truck bobbed the springs don't articulate nearly as much as 6x6. This includes the front since the frame won't flex as much either. Don't get me wrong there may be some slight rubbing. I don't think it will be a...

Other than looks why are you wanting to lift the front? If I'm not mistaken your going to run 14.00-20s? Those fit just fine with no lift. Just curious.

I feel like the hatred of the air assist is people parrot what they read somewhere else. You get enough people repeating the same thing and it becomes the assumed truth. I'm sure there are a few people who have used air assist and for whatever reason hate it. But, I'd bet 90% of the people...

You base this on?

$2000 isn't bad. I have a 95' dated air assist that I'm about to install on my truck without any second thoughts. It is a n.o.s unit also. The hydraulic setups are better as far as performance but the air assist units work very well also. The a3's came standard with air assist and it's not...

Ah ok. Btw, nice truck. Can't wait to see how it looks when your done.

Wait, are you bobbing this truck or leaving it 6x6? You can't run 14.00-20s on a 6x6 without spreading the bogies out.

A 14.00-20 tire works fine on a 7" lock ring rim. It's been done for years. You just need to run the correct tubes. 1300/1400 radial rated tubes. The problem is going to be the offset. The front will rub pretty bad on the steering arm. To the point it will eat the sidewall. Adjusting the...

Doghead is correct. The fdc retards the max fuel rate depending on the viscosity of the fuel being run through it. When you bypass the fdc it defaults to max fuel. That's why some people need to turn their max fuel rate down after bypassing the fdc. As DH stated, if your installing a Pyro...

Everything sounds right to me. The turbos on the multi fuel do not put out much boost. Though, judging by the numbers you gave I believe it is safe to turn the max fuel rate a bit on your ip. Just don't let your egt's get above 1200 degrees and you will be fine. Ideally I wouldn't let egt's...

Welcome from Shreveport. Hope you find a nice truck. Finally got my deuce back on the road. It killed me to see her sitting for over a month.

Not trying to scare you but that sounds more like a governor weight broke off. My truck did the same thing. Even weirder is it didn't do it all of the time. When I had my IP rebuilt that's what they found. A pin had broke that holds a weight on the governor assembly. That threw the governor...

The only thing I don't like about the set up is the 27si doesn't put out much at idle. I expected this but the stock gen would stay in the "green" on my guage whereas the 27si stays in the upper third of the yellow until it gets to about 1300 rpm. Then it will climb up into the green. Not...

Finally got my new alternater installed in my a2. I used tmamerica's bracket kit and a Delco 27si alternater. Overall I'm pretty happy. Installation was pretty strait forward. Other than getting the old lower bracket off the only thing that had be scratching my head was how to bore out the...

2 pipe wrenches works just fine for me. But, if you want the actual tool comdiver sells them for a very reasonable price.

I guess this means I should get moving with building my affordable 24v- 12v step down trailer harnesses. The ones offered on the net are either way too expensive or must be imported from europe. Magnetic tow lights with 24v bulbs will probably be your easiest and fastest temporary solution.

If you have a "c" turbo it will make a distinct whistle at all rpm ranges. If you have a "d" turbo you might not hear it at all over the exhaust note. Add a muffler and a "d" turbo will have a slight whistle but only after about 1900 to 2000 rpm. Even then it's just loud enough to know there...

If you were closer I'd be happy to help you. I doubt your will to bring all those trucks to Shreveport.

The dog bones are not suitable to try and use as a 4 link. The stock suspension is of a walking beam design. Meaning in between the two axles it pivots. The leaf springs are hard mounted to the center pivot and then lay on top of each axle. The spring packs act as a pan hard bar would and...
