If you plan to wheel much a winch will be a must. And lockers help prevent getting stuck but a wise old man once said 3 wheel drive will get you where you want to go and true 4wheel drive will get you in trouble. Lol same goes for true 6x6. You will get stuck eventually and it will be stuck...
So far the trucks I installed detroits in the owners said they don't affect street driving. I've ran the airlocker 7tons in my mud trucks for years and am in the process of freshening a set up and putting airbrakes on them to put in a M936. The housings are the same width as a regular 5ton you...
Gearhart Engineering sells new Detroits for about $1000 each. Not as nice as a selectable locker but if you use a "Cannon ball" in the front axle you will hate life and your power steering pump is gonna die a whole sooner plus any pavement action is a no no. At least the Detroit will unlock in a...
That's why I said you will be lucky if they cost less than $1500. If you ever sat a 5 ton carrier beside a 2.5 ton carrier there is a huge difference in size. The chunk of billet it will take to make a 5 ton arb is probably $500-600 just for that let alone machining time and heat treat. The...
They gotta be tough. Our group has a couple M931A2's with the power turned up. We have been beating these things on road and off-road for a while dragging heavy trailers and pulling sleds and even tug of war on concrete. They have been holding up so far. On trails wheeling we use reverse in low...
I'm not offended in any way I'm just letting others know with our experience it works better after the regulator IMO. We built the first one months before I ever made the post and tried it with the ball valve before the regulator and found it's more user friendly to have the valve after the...
it will work that way but will be a pain to get your desired pressure without a bunch of peckering around. I have built and used the system. You build it and use it then tell me how much of a pita it is to get your desired pressure with your setup. This is a case where experience over rules...
I know several shops that use a cam degree wheel bolted to the balancer. then no need to measure the balancer just bolt the wheel on and make a pointer. degrees position doesn't change by diameter when your going off the face instead of the side of the balancer
Its funny to see guys say I'm in if it's under $1k. well knowing what it takes to build that type of stuff there's gonna be a lot of disappointed people. I'll be surprised if they are under 1200 let alone $1500. a 5 ton differential carrier is big and that's a big chunk of steel to make it plus...
