warren, you already have a left and right turn wire at the rear, problem is it is also brake light wire when the turn sig is off. simple solution is to cut the wire at the brake light switch, not the power one, the other one, and run it to the rear. then you have a dedicated brake light circuit...

i think you may find that each truck has it's own issues. the way the old springs has settled has something to do with the change is caster over a new truck. i had to simply swap the perches side to side which reversed them. (with new holes for the locating pin i think) it took that much change...

yes maybe, but it is syncro so was obviously meant to be shifted on the fly. also the 3053 was just a quick adaptation of the 3052 for the multifuel. with my OD kit it truly is a gear splitter and very useful. unimog has air shift on their OD add on unit for the 435's works well and is used as a...

i think you should identify the metal pieces. i have NEVER heard of bearing failure on a transfer case. the input brng that fails is on the transmission and then for a good reason like water in the trans. the transfer is easy to work on once it is out, it is just very heavy. once it is apart it...

since i do this by myself, i put a screw in the tread of each tire at the axle level. you can then hook a tape measure on one screw and measure to the other. then roll the truck so screws are at axle level on other side of axle and measure again. instant results.

when you say camber you must mean caster. camber is not abjustable. caster CAN be changed, i had to simply reverse the upper spring mounts on mine to get enough caster so the steeering would return to straight after a turn when i added PS. usually with manual steering you want less caster so it...

no, but a new flywheel is just over $200 made in canada. you would need a different clutch. with the ratio the 16's would give, you might just want to keep the auto. if it didn't satisfy it could be swaped later. tom

.74 OD will be a hardly noticable change. the 3053 has been used behind BB chev, 3208 cat, big cummins 7.3?? driven responsibly it will not break. the trans you already have and an od kit to .69 will be the easiest and highest OD. tom

there are hydraulic kits that will fit the A3

my kit can be easily adapted for the A3, just let me know it is for that model and it will come with the steel lines only partialy bent. james at okc auction services bought a kit, and it is even cheaper to install if you already have a winch. tom

you will also have to move the transfer case way back to fit the much larger trans. there are much easier ways to get better overdrive. tom

i think you will find this is a big issue. if you move the column up or down, it will steer the vehicle. not good. the upper column should have almost no play, it must all be in a special joint at the steering box.

the next best choice from the 710 saginaw, and what my kit may use in a few years is TRW HFB52013 tom

the HF54 box was a good choice years ago, but it has a linear control valve. the shaft has to move in and out of the box to control flow and requires special consideration when building the lower steering shaft to accomadate this. i am told it just doesn't give as crisp control as a more modern...

i have all these parts available seperately or as a kit, but keep in mind the HF54 is no longer considered a good choice because of the linear action control valve. that is really old school design. a modern rotary control valve will give much better response. as for pump pressure there are...

it is the engine clutch housing that is not standard, the trans is standard and will bolt right into an A3. it has been done at least once, i think it is a very good idea and very low cost if you can do it yourself. as for the A2, there is no other trans that will fit, that is why i produced...

so it is a LDS not a LDT. does not look like it would be anywhere near safe to drive on the road.

Basic formula is: rpm = (168 * mph * ratio ) / radius Where:"rpm" is engine speed in rpm "mph" is road speed in mph "ratio" is product of all ratios, in your case ratio = 0.79 * 1.0 * 6.72 = 5.309 "radius" is the distance from the ground to the center of the axle shaft. Or if you want to solve...

warren, looks great! you may have to slide the reservoir down some for the hood to clear?? i had not thought of this additional advantage to having the fender off. (not having to remove the radiator.) tom

save yourself a lot of work and just put a V8 in. the lds won't have enough power for .62 OD. the V8 will be shorter and you won't have to move the transfer.
