gassers had the spicer 3052 5spd. starts at about the same 1st of ~6:1 but ends in direct 1:1 - no OD because it winds up higher. because of this, supposedly the performance of the gasser/3052 is about the same as the MF/3053 on diesel. but, when it's not on diesel, you're right - the gasser...

look at it this way: the deuces and 809 5 tons lead a hard life to say the least. with a road network so bad that most would be considered trails at best, imagine putting 10,000 offroad miles on your truck. compared to present day: i ran a DS maintenance company out of Ft. Stewart recently. i...

i'm sorry........ what?

Chuck, i agree with everything you said here. people keep asking about reliability and what it will take to get more of it and more power output. those 4 things you mentioned are at the top of the [long] list of design obstacles that is keeping the multi (in its current form) limited in...

wow, there's so many errors in this post.... that is completely bogus!!! since Tq=(hp x 5252)/RPM, then RPM=(hp x 5252)/Tq. do the math and 30 hp with 1000ft-lbs crosses at 157 RPM. you need to show me a motor that will operate like that. no, it is still categorized as a diesel motor...

you got some info on these selectable lockers you keep talking about? because the only selectable lockers known for the deuce are 1) the norweigan deuces that require a lot of specialized parts and 2) ARB RD145 which have only been in existance for less than 2 years. otherwise, i'm reaching...

nah. at this point we are vehemently agreeing w/ each other.

they are still limited slip differentials (LSDs). there is no such product as "posi-traction" - it is the brand name given to a limited slip. you ever taken one apart? because what your describing doesn't exist in my Ford Dana 80 rear diff with OEM LSD. you are right, though - there are...

i'm with you - i understand how limited slips work and how they are different from lockers. i also understand that the term 'posi-' is a brand name much like 'velcro' is a brand name for "hook and loop fasteners". but most people think 'velcro' is a product, just like many GM fans believe...

please, illuminate me.

oh geez, i can't!!! i could swear i've seen ARBs for ~$680, but i don't see anything less than $890. i never mess up numbers this bad, but i must have made that up ... :oops: sorry - apparently i'm a tool. :doh:

after some simple driving style adjustment, i hardly ever notice the locker in my bob'ed deuce. as long as you keep either on the power or stay off completely while in a turn, the locker will disengage the outter wheel. while the tandem rears will want to fight each other, the wheelbase...
