    CAT 1160 V8 pics

    The compressor doesn't fit the hood.... in other words, I'm looking for a formed ram air "bump" I can weld over the hole I cut in the hood over the compressor. :D And yep, your 3208 app was fitted to the stock tranny, so that dictated your spacing. On mine, I basically shoved the engine as far...

    Do you need a set of 9 wheels?

    Hey, do you need wheels? I have 6 takeoffs with good-ish rubber mounted on em. Two of the tires were steer tires and are a little feathered. I'd let em go for $300, or $50 each, as many as you want. Let me know if you're interested. I don't want to sell em, but I need christmas cash! :)

    PS Don't look at my completely bodged together upper radiator hose assembly! If you stare at it, it's like watching daytime television. You WILL be rendered stupid.

    24vdc work lights

    eBay Hi guys, i have picked up two types of lights from eBay in the past few months: 1. LED backup lights. 2. Caterpillar work lights. Both sets were each about $40 for the pair. The LED's turned out to be a little anemic. I'd check eBay for deals on halogen worklights. Another idea...

    bigger engine, and different tranny in deuce?

    Hey guys, Something to keep in mind - the perfect companion to those bigger motors is a REALLY DEEP OD tranny that has at least 7 gears. I'm looking at a 10 speed right now... I thought I had one lined up, but after picking it up, it turned out to be a straight ratio. I got it from a guy who...

    Disk brakes for the Deuce

    You would likely need pinion brakes on both sides of all axles, on a truck as heavy as ours, in order to not have them be set alight during alot of braking. The best thing we have going are brakes like these: http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=408046 BTW, USA 6x6 has screwed...

    bigger engine, and different tranny in deuce?

    I just drove the turbo 3208 around today. Fast, but the 5 speed I put behind it is a disservice to the engine. I am moving up to a 10 speed soon.... well, I need to purchase the tranny yet, but it's all lined up. I need some bigger tires to fill up the space between the rear tandems, and I'll be...

    Has anyone really been inside the transfer case?

    I am wondering if it would be at all remotely possible to swap the gears in the transfer case... for either the 1:1 high gear, or swap the gears around in the "low" side. It's a crazy idea, but I wonder if anyone has been inside here and if they understand how the gears are attached to the...
