shoot, let me know what costs look like - i may be placing an order w/ 'your guy'. :-D

gassers had the spicer 3052 5spd. starts at about the same 1st of ~6:1 but ends in direct 1:1 - no OD because it winds up higher. because of this, supposedly the performance of the gasser/3052 is about the same as the MF/3053 on diesel. but, when it's not on diesel, you're right - the gasser...

look at it this way: the deuces and 809 5 tons lead a hard life to say the least. with a road network so bad that most would be considered trails at best, imagine putting 10,000 offroad miles on your truck. compared to present day: i ran a DS maintenance company out of Ft. Stewart recently. i...

i spoke to him the other week. he sold that chop'top stepside and is building another. i think he's pretty busy.

i'm sorry........ what?

i recommend the PSC hydro kit - it even makes turning my 16.00-20s easy (and you can get rid of the gigantor steering wheel). and if you use the 5 ton pump (bolt on) it will be that much easier to install. there are pics in my album of how Jim installed the steering cylinder.

are the door hinge pins external - can you pop those out? :?:

looks like a sweet project to me!! :-D

Chuck, i agree with everything you said here. people keep asking about reliability and what it will take to get more of it and more power output. those 4 things you mentioned are at the top of the [long] list of design obstacles that is keeping the multi (in its current form) limited in...

that's interesting, Jones, that you went to 12V. since i am planning to do a 5.9 cummins swap, i was on the same fence. but i actually just picked up my spare starter yesterday: i took it to my local starter shop and they rebuilt the cummins starter to 24V. i thought about the fuel shut off...

wow, there's so many errors in this post.... that is completely bogus!!! since Tq=(hp x 5252)/RPM, then RPM=(hp x 5252)/Tq. do the math and 30 hp with 1000ft-lbs crosses at 157 RPM. you need to show me a motor that will operate like that. no, it is still categorized as a diesel motor...

you got some info on these selectable lockers you keep talking about? because the only selectable lockers known for the deuce are 1) the norweigan deuces that require a lot of specialized parts and 2) ARB RD145 which have only been in existance for less than 2 years. otherwise, i'm reaching...

combat starter = it comes with a hill

nah. at this point we are vehemently agreeing w/ each other.

they're all better.

i wouldn't just mount the transmission to the transfer w/ just a u-joint. that won't allow for any movement between the engine/trans and transfer and you are just asking to wear bearings and potentially crack someone's housing. you need a jack shaft (short drive shaft) of some sort to allow...

they are still limited slip differentials (LSDs). there is no such product as "posi-traction" - it is the brand name given to a limited slip. you ever taken one apart? because what your describing doesn't exist in my Ford Dana 80 rear diff with OEM LSD. you are right, though - there are...

i'm with you - i understand how limited slips work and how they are different from lockers. i also understand that the term 'posi-' is a brand name much like 'velcro' is a brand name for "hook and loop fasteners". but most people think 'velcro' is a product, just like many GM fans believe...

please, illuminate me.
