chains. You're original design looked plenty beefy and quite effective.

I know that theoretically this can be correct - however, I'm considering, for practical purposes, the bottom couple/few leafs in the deuce pack are bent so little that there is not a significant change in rates from one side to another. we're not talking about a cheby 1/2 ton truck spring with...

So you're saying that a piece of spring steel has different spring rates depending on which way it bends? No. yeah, that was my last point - the range of travel that the bag would need between full compression as to not interfere with the rear axle offroad and full extension to push the rear...

springs exert the same force in either direction. the spring pack would lift as much as the spring rate allows, albeit only the couple/few springs that would be captured in the retaining bracket on the axle. I'd bet a mountain dew it would pick it up. i, however, question whether or not there...

TH350/NP208 = 2.52 1st x 2.61 = 6.58:1 700R4/NP205 = 3.06 1st x 1.96 = 6:1 Not much difference than stock; recovering so much from the 700's lower 1st gear that it is probably not even noticeable. 700R4/NP205 LoMax = 3.06 1st x 3.0 = 9.2:1 --> however, this is noticeable.

so for that price, why wouldn't I use Tom's box and have a modern steering system? FYI, that's also the same price as a full-hydro system. so the answer to one of the original questions regarding price - it's all within a couple hundred bux of each other. I'd use Tom's.

a new box gets you a more modern full turns to lock system, not the 9-something turns lock-lock that you would still have with a servo conversion. i guess i don't know that its a bad thing, but you wouldn't be turning the wheel twice as much for no reason.

An orbital valve displaces a fixed volume of fluid per rotation. The in-line column and drag link valves transfer rotational torque or axial force and apply hydraulic pressure to assist until this force is neutral - this is how the steering is assisted; hydraulic pressure is applied until 'zero...

Of course they do!!! This is guidance for optimizing component service life - Dana doesn't build vehicles. But they can definitely provide guidance to help OE designers keep components happy so they make it through the x00,000 mile warranty before needing servicing. And so if your joint is...

If the shaft is a single joint at each end then you want the input/output flange faces to be on the same plane (angle) - e.g. 0 at trans should mean a 0 at the transfer. OR, the input/output flange face angular difference must be shared equally - e.g. 10 deg downward angle of engine/trans...

how do the 916s fair?

My local alternator/starter shop helped me find this company - not that there aren't others out there, but these guys are who I could find. They did a great job and a low price: I dealt with Rob at Hoosier Electric, 219-844-8389. He simply asked me to send him my stator and rotor and he would...

that's my question - what's your thoughts/concerns on the design of their mount that lead you away from it? PM if you would rather not post.

curious as to why you went with the Artec and not the Red Barn Custom or Stinky Fab mounts? I went with RBC - fits great. Not sure what the price on the Artec is, but seems like it would be more than the other two. Ultimately, I went with the RBC over the Stinky Fab (similar to the Artec)...

have you considered using the nv4500?

NP465 4-speed transmission; 1:1 top gear.

yeah, still none. I had tried to make it down to the FL rally but that got cancelled last minute and I could not change that fast and get up to Haspin. Would have been several in either of those events. Otherwise, I'm in the middle of another project with the little bit of time and have not...

So what are the confirmed June dates????

if you remove the thermostat, your engine will take FOREVER to warm up. also, there is nothing to gain by letting the fan run with the engine off - you'll just cool the radiator water quicker, but won't cool the engine any differently. you would need an electric water pump to continue...

you can also consider flipping the bumper extensions over and mount the winch on the bottom of the frame - this get the hyd motor well away from the radiator and should also put it below the engine mount cross member. you should still be able to orient the winch upright, however, you'd need to...
