fyi - you don't need it. the 12v Cummins only needs 3 wires to run. plus grid heater and controller if you live in real cold areas.

quite simply, a standard automotive gasser doesn't have a duty cycle rating, as it wasn't designed to live in a 13k - 23k lb application. to live in the medium duty world, an engine has to exert at or near max power outputs for a large portion of it's lifetime. basically, the longer that an...

that's nothing - go get a quote for a full-tilt dodge auto.......$7k.

no doubt - bolt cutters are way too hard to keep track of and store. grab an adjustable wrench and another around a 3/4" in size and they pry open w/ extremely little effort. or two around 3/4" in size. btw, i used to order the 5200s in the packs of 10 w/ like-keying, so all the...

i concur. however, back to the OP, serious thought needs to be given to what transmission will be used behind a gasser - and i bring this up with regard to fitment, mainly lengthwise. remember, the duece 5spd case is only about 16.5" long with a jack shaft of about 7". that jackshaft...

i think it is interesting that one can ask an honest question looking for valuable input on the Modification and Hot-Rodding forum, get garbage responses such as "leave it alone" and the like, and then someone else has the nerve to back up said garbage posts because the OP is a newbie and should...

can you explain how it is street legal? only reason i ask because i am under the impression that a mechanical linkage is required, and i wouldn't expect CA to be any less stringent. also, i know in the video it said the rear steer is "locked out" via the switch. i would think that the way...

i think it could if it were a 'B trans - ratios. it seems logical that these would be the trans that had mysterious reported OD ratios ranging from .85 - .71.

you guys may think it's fun, but it's stressful as hell. you keep moving to stay alive, and everytime you get stuck or stopped in traffic you just know something bad is about to happen. we changed to putting an LSAC-cabbed m1083 as the front blocking vehicle to push through heavier traffic...

WM, what trans do you have - maybe you have a 3053B w/ a taller OD??

but not to the Chieftan or Leopard 2...

if you are willing to commit, here's what you'd need to do: balanced bottom end main girdle fluid damper lower compression ratio to around 17:1 custom pistons and connecting rods install larger head studs, increase installation torque modify injection pump larger or sequential turbo setup...

what are you guys talking about? i've seen them on trucks in broad daylight all the time coming in and out of stewart and up/down 95. heck, i've seen them driving on the public roads in and out of APG on 3 seperate occassions. and why would you not be able to photo them - there are pics all...

i think lots of folks are waiting on the 5-ton "suburban" made out of an 818 - no bob'n required, just a lot more "cab". i'm just sayin'...

you got the specs - i thought that'd be the hard part!!! you could definitely get it fab'd with the specs in hand. i bet you could find someone to put it together for less than $200. heck, i'd spend $200 for it to be fab'd out of steel. or, just buy the other 5 - sell them for $190 ea...

yes. i'd ratchet strap against the breaker bar near the socket end to ensure the socket stays fully seated on the pinion nut. done it on an early bronco before, not a deuce - it's all the same concept.

more like 1400 to 1800 hp... most guys run 540 Merlins for reliability and cost. some will run 572's and a few 620 Merlins, and even fewer running big cid hemi's (last i saw Bearfoot [years ago] they ran a 598 hemi at 2000+ hp). pinion brakes do work - they work extremely well for full braking...

the cummins block does not determine the flywheel housing pattern - all cummins use an engine adapter. whether it be for a dodge trans or SAE, 6bt or 4bt, 1st generation or late, etc. the engine adapter is what you want. there are usually folks w/ spare SAE engine adapters over on...

Pmcs.

the brakes won't handle the GVW - they are for rock crawlers and mud trucks. i love my lockers and hubs, though. i will be upgrading axle shafts in the future, though. :-D
