    Instrument panel mods

    I'm thinking about doing some mods to my panel. I would like to install a pyro and boost gauge in line with the 3 lower gauges by either cutting out the lower portion of the panel and installing a plate with 5 2 inch instrument holes cut in and evenly spaced for a clean look. In addition, add...

    A3 rims on an A2

    Great ! Now I feel comfortable with a decision. HEMMT rims and 395's tires. The complete spare will go in the back! I already read about using a small lift from Harbor Freight to get it in and out of the back. Now, what's a good way to secure the complete wheel/tire assembly in the...

    A3 rims on an A2

    From what it sounds like then, if your going to go with 395's the Hemmt rims sound like the better choice. Now, will a hemmt rim with a 395 tire fit in the spare tire location ? Any modifications and what type if so ?

    Is there a better tire for the A3 rim that is dimensionally the same as the 395/85r20 ?

    A3 rims on an A2

    will the spare fit in its place with 395/85r20 ? Do you need a complete spare since the rims are split capable while still on the truck ? Would just a spare tire be ok? Is it easier to change just the tire with the rim still on the truck or just do a regular change with a complete spare?

    A3 rims on an A2

    So I'm considering the change and am wondering if these rims offer any advantages/disadvantages over the HEMMIT rims that have been converted. I'm planning on flipping the rear hubs so all the rims can be the same. What about a spare. Just have a tire and do a change on the truck or have a...

    Is it worth pulling the oilpan?

    Never herd of a reusable primary filter. Good to know, thanks.

    Is it worth pulling the oilpan?

    If that came out of the filter assembly just below the Generator then yes its the wrong filter type. The small filter sits high in the assembly so that water can collect in the bottom and not be sucked into the fuel line leading to the other fuel filters. That is why its important to drain...

    Is it worth pulling the oilpan?

    In your left hand is the new type primary fuel filter. The other filter, tall one, is the secondary/final type fuel filter.

    speedometer adapter for 395/85r20 tires?

    I know that there are adapters for the 11-20's to correct the speedometer at the transfer case. What about going with the 395/85r20's, does an adapter exist for those? I am considering the super single setup and would like an accurate speedometer. I don't want to go the GPS route if I don't...
