Shannon, Can you show a few more pictures of how the evaporator and fan assembly fits under the dash? Maybe a shot as you open the passenger door, then a few close-ups? Thanks!

A guy I talked to yesterday has a used 8.3 Cummins + Allison transmission for sale, but he doesn't have any other information until Monday morning. He did say it came out of a 1995 F-800 bucket truck. Maybe he can provide more information next week. Wouldn't this be the same drivetrain that...

I won a large portable crane (fancy 6000lbs capacity engine hoist) on GL. I've been looking for a donor Cummins 5.9L engine and tranny for months. My goal is a little more power than the deuce power plant. I'd be happy with 350-400HP and 600-700 ft-lbs. What auto tranny would I be looking for...

I won a large portable crane (fancy 6000lbs capacity engine hoist) on GL. I've been looking for a donor Cummins engine for months. The wait for a new engine/auto tranny continues.

Wow, that's a purdy truck, even for an A3. :D Good job on the air bag suspension.

1 pipe wrench on the adjustable sheave and a crescent on the back side works for me. *shrug*

I finally got around to shooting a video for Youtube to show off the 28" drop hitch. http://youtu.be/7CXrQnWfC3Y

Yep, he's got it on fleebay. Says it is "intercooled". LOL.

That is a pretty neat build right there. The interior is a little confusing. He must be running a Spicer 3053 transmission, right?

Try hitting the air buzzer with a hammer. If a hammer don't fix it you got yourself an electrical problem. This philosophy works on pretty much everything deuce related...

I can't believe the typical responses haven't hit this thread yet: 1) Will you tell your insurance company that you modified the heads for more airflow? 2) Why does your deuce need to be any faster? 3) How will you stop your deuce with all of this extra power? Think about public safety...

Air the tires up to the max pressure allowed to minimize the contact patch to lower the rolling resistance. Drain the fuel tank(s) to hold only 5 gallons, unless you think it will take more than 5 gallons to go 1320 feet. Roll the windows up. Close the windshields. Ditch any tools or other...

Biggest question is if you did a burnout or not? :D

Is it possible to provide some pictures of the carnage so we can try and figure it out?

That's what she said. :D On a more serious note, I still have people that like to tail gate me while I'm driving the deuce. There is going to be serious **** to pay if someone rear ends me at a stop sign or light now that I've got that massive hitch on the back. Before the hitch I used to...

Finished the installation of my new 28" drop hitch. Check my thread for more pics / info.

I installed my custom 28" drop double hitch from Black Rock Fab. Thanks to Justin Wehring for inspiration on building this hitch. Justin posted a 5 ton 20K hitch in this thread, and I had Kyle make a few improvements on the design. The modification page on my website got a makeover so it...

Not trying to be a "negative Nancy", but why hasn't anybody given him grief about the dangers of lift blocks like in other threads? Here is an article from 4Wheel & Off-Road that has a good write-up on the dangers of lift blocks.

Thanks a bunch for putting this thread together with detailed pictures. Just a heads up that Autozone has a Loan-A-Tool program. They have an engine cylinder hone that adjusts from 2-7 inches. They charge you $25, and when you bring the hone back they give you $25. That means free! This...

Wow. Just wow! Lots of inspiration here for future work on my deuce. Thanks for the ideas. Keep updating this thread with all of your future modifications. I can't wait to see what you do next!
