yep. i just browsed the A3s - that one is listed as WO/W!!! that one's going to bring in some bux... :roll:

read up in these threads. just searched keyword 3116.

no no, you're right - 300hp out of a medium duty diesel is a lot of power. but i don't know how high you can take it. i'll ask around, because i know at different power levels there are different pistons and compression ratios. (for example, you may not be able to take a 170hp motor that...

oh. well, i'd never do that anyway. i always attach a winch to rigging - ie. chain, straps, shackle, etc. i'd never wrap the winch rope itself around anything and pull.

yes, but the 3116 is a dog (no pun intended. well, maybe). it'd be expensive to turn up. but, yes, if you can get them for a good price then it would be a good platform. the tranny may be a at545? or a 3spd non-lockup? i don't think i've ever seen one w/ a winch, tho. anyone have pics...

please elaborate. :grin:

i'll be going full hydro steering using a PSC kit for a rockwell axle. lots of people don't like that and some states specifically say that is illegal. the allison is completely doable. if you're doing a MD allison, obtain an SAE bellhousing and you're good. trans like the 545 are all...

will most be able to handle 52"?

one step ahead of you. go here - they list a single speed reversible pto (not 2-speed like stock, but still...) for the [new venture]4500. not sure about the dodge auto, though. it doesn't seem to list it. i don't think the 47r' have a pto provision.

nothing wrong w/ an auto. be advised, though: any auto tranny that came in a light duty pickup will need to be "built" to survive behind a modded diesel. the bad news is the 47rh (hydraulic w/ lockup, '94-'96) and 47re (same, just electronic control, starting in '97?) are notorious for failing...

'96-'98 w/ manual transmissions had the 215hp rating. however, all of the other p-pumps are quite capable of well over 500hp - a little more tuning is all that's required, plus mack plug and delivery valves. my plan is to use a 2wd trans and utilize/modify the existing jack shaft and keep the...

i, too, am interested in how you get 1600s on a one-piece wheel... :?:

this brings up an interesting point: many bridge cranes use a block and tackle system where one [continuous] wire rope is run through the pulleys (usually 2 runs, but i've seen 4), but both ends are attached and wound on the same drum. they simply wind from both outside edges in towards the...

the only thing you should appologize for is beating me to it...

unless the date is in the ordinal (julien) format? 2142 ....... x142 = May 22nd (or 21st if a leap year), but 2xxx = year '72, '82, '92, '02... we used the 4 digit designator in the Army for tracking logistics. but, as you can see, it's only good for a decade so i don't know why a rebuild...

how do you mount the tires - standard tire machine does 14.00's?

are these one or 2 piece wheels?

look through here - there's 2 different mufflers discussed; a walker and a dynomax bullet-type.

500hp, expensive? nah - 2 grand is more than enough. s300 - $1200 w/ DP 435 injectors - $500 3k GSK - $120 bhaf - $60 w/ pre-filter 2095 plug (if not 215hp pump) - $25(?) 16.5° timing - $0 100 plate - $0 afc tuning - $0 that'll get you there. delivery valves would get you a bit farther for...

i, personally, wouldn't go that route - i'd take the deuce, bob it, and drop in the 12v and tranny. mainly because dodge frames are questionable at best when it comes to taking a beating. the sheet metal itself (from the deuce) is quite heavy already, and you'll spend a lot of time mounting a...
