RE: Smart advertising It seems fair to me. People don't have to buy from them and anyone can search the GL web site. The ads will help SS.

Smart advertising GL now has ads on SS...Now that's smart advertising for them.

Did you contact Mike about your boot problem? Do you have any installed-on-the-axle pictures of how they were torn? Might help to figure out why the new ones failed.

That's not cheap Chinese junk. New Star/S&S makes good quality items. They make parts for OTR trucks, charter buses, transit buses, military trucks, Dana axles, etc. Where do you think the dealers get their supply of new replacement parts? Not from the govt! - From New Star.

Re: RE: exhaust back pressure I can't see how the Napa muffler would cause the back pressure to raise. It's a straight through muffler. In fact, I would lean towards it lowering back pressure because of the increased surface area to dissipate the heat. Less heat would lower the pressure...

This democrat would love to see some pictures of that A3 if your willing.

RE: new seat cover (cheap man Nice Job!

Six States might be able to help you. I would find a local Six States dealer and call them. http://www.sixstates.com/products/products.jsp

Just go to a GM/Chevy dealership. It a small black bottle. Costs ~ $5.

I thought in Florida, GL will not allow you to drive a truck off the lot. It must be towed even if it runs great. Did they now change this policy??

New Star parts are what many of the dealers are reselling.

PM Sent!

Why won't they allow you to preview the trucks? Seems borderline unethical...Hmm, I forgot. It's GL.

I guess the key is to design the system for your needs. If you install an equalizer that handles only 20 amps and you have been averaging a load of 50 amps, you didn't setup the system to meet your needs. In the transit buses, the battery equalizer is always powered (Not with Opcom's setup)...

P.S. Opcom Installed a battery equalizer in his Deuce. And added a relay to kill it with the accessory switch off. http://www.bunkerofdoom.com/mil/m35/vic4/index.html

A battery equalizer can handle the loads you need...But you will need $300-800 for one. With it, you can pull current off of the lower battery. The equalizer will then keep both batteries charged evenly with the 24V alternator. A Vanner 60 Amp unit is on eBay for $300. Most transit buses use...

I agree. That shouldn't be on here. That might be the cool thing on Pirate 4x4...Not here. With regards to ATF and hydro fluids...I have run a fair bit of it. My VW gets priority over my available biodiesel. So, many times I have run tanks of free ATF/VTM4, and hydro fluids. It is all new...

Excellent post. Very informative. :roll: One of the problems with the stock trans is that they DO break. The second gear will seize up on the shaft. Tom has solved that. The better overdrive is a plus.

You WI guys NEED to file a law suit against this activity.

Re: RE: Towing? Make sure you have both gear boxes and all three diffs full before you tow your truck home. Even in Neutral, you will damage bearings if there is no lube.
