the deuce transfer is huge and strong. and with a synchro'd hi-lo range select and air-shift front output, i'm not sure what other transfers would beat the value or performance. besides, this is there already - changing cases of this size is an ordeal. although speaking of, i may have in...

yes, mainly the HE351V's from what i've read. however, i haven't seen a stand-alone controller yet - i've heard for a year that Fleece is working on one, but...?

oh, don't worry: i saw it. however, to be honest, getting that much power developed and to the ground (in this truck) is the obstacle. i don't anticipate that i'll be towing much of anything, i won't be at the 1/4 mile track, and i don't plan to be pulling a sled anytime soon. so, other than...

i was staring at the pics on the previous page thinking about that wheelbase. i was thinking "just about a half of tire-length aft of the intermediate axle would look perfect". then i turned the page. [thumbzup] to be honest, i think the bed 'looks' a tad high. my vote: go closer to...

to be quite honest, i think i gained a few pounds overall. i know that the rotor/hub assembly weighs in at around 95 lbs. the entire crate of brake parts was over 600 lbs by the BOL. i'd only estimate the crate at 40-50 of that... :shock: but, hard to say if any of this rotating weight was...

a little late in the day to get many good pics...

golly, maybe i am as dumb as you say, but i'm pretty sure no one else can understand what the **** you're talking about.

neat. so what does that have to do with the OP's Cat motor that won't idle at 375 rpm?? apparently you've missed it, but the A3 coupling that i detailed retains the OE shear pin. there's also been quite a bit of testing and calculations performed to determine the under-rated-ness (real word?)...

alright, here's what the stock A3 system performance data would look like with the following assumptions: the pump estimates are similar to the stock A3 pump 75% worm drive efficiency 87% motor efficiency 85% pump efficiency 1.00:1 pump-to-engine ratio 850 rpm engine idle 3.003 cid pump 10.6...

no, the stock HX35 turbo doesn't whistle much out of the exhaust; well, not nearly like a C-turbo does. it does whistle on the compressor side, though. the exhaust note is much 'throatier' at idle and lower rpms. i actually believe the exhaust is louder throughout the rpm range than the MF...

i guess i don't understand the measurement or how it's derived. i do know that the F550 calipers are usually in the range of 19k lbs GVWR (33k GCWR) and the rotors are an International truck with a 26k lbs GVWR. in either application, that's two axles worth of brakes. add a third axle, then...

fantastic, but i said 'max pull', not 10k lbs. this is different and based on the fact that the OE shear pins break at approx. 250ft-lbs. personally, it's not worth it to spend this kind of money on converting a winch for attaining less than half of it's capacity. and 195ft-lbs isn't correct...

UPDATE - She's Running!!! well, got my alternator back from the shop first thing yesterday morning. bolted it in and clearance was actually better than i thought. i fired it up and was getting nothing out of my alternator. :shock: couldn't figure out why, but remembered that the breakers on...

this was already confirmed.

this will make for an extremely slow winch. this will only net you about 18 fpm max. even at this speed, you'll be maxing out that 300 rpm, and you'll be 50 ft-lbs and 300 psi short of making maximum line pull. northern tool motor 1042 would be a much better choice and it's cheaper. of...

this is the tank i was going to use. i have since acquired an 'A3 tank, though. it depends; if the valve you are using does not have a relief, then yes you will need this. if you are using a valve that has a pressure relief, then you would not need this unless you want an additional safety...

Update the good news: i received my alternator parts yesterday. so this means the shop should have my alternator assembled and ready for pickup this afternoon. :jumpin: the bad news: it's 35° and raining outside. it was 33° and sleeting this morning, so it's improving... technically...

no worries, Jakob. i just really don't know if they are re-arched or custom packs. i know that they ride quite well. i do wish i would have opted for 8" rather than the 6". i recently gained another 1", but i still plan to trim the fenders some. not for street, but for off-road.

that motor stand doesn't look like my motor stand. anyway, here are some pics of the stock A3 parts that i have. specs: Motor - Parker 113A-106-AS-0, 10.6 cid, SAE A-2 bolt pattern, shaft: 1 1/4" dia. with 5/16" keyway. Motor stand - 4 15/16" bolt circle (4-bolt, 3.5" x 3.5") on winch...

that looks great!! how's the power? from experience with my truck, i'd lift it 8" if it will see off-road time. if not, 6" will be fine for most anything else. i have 6" on my truck and wish i had 8" - the tires can and will dig into the lower rear front fender corners if not careful. i did...
