Sure, there are a lot of holes left on the firewall. Tell us all what goes where. Doesn't even have to have anything to do with my truck. General info about why there are holes and mounting points here and there is good general information and am sure someone will find it helpful.

There is some good tech related to line-pressure and brake system components in the HydroMax thread.

Wow, that sounds like a lot compared to the 5-ton multifuels' engine-driven pump. That's putting out 5-6gpm at what kind of psi? Was wondering whether or not that pump might be adequate to power my winches, but sounds like I'll definitely want to use a second, bigger, transfercase-driven pump...

Gotta add some value if you wanna win. Thanks! That was easy. Still need to know where they should pass-through the firewall. Might just end-up making my own holes because I don't think this cab was configured for a multifuel, but would still like to have some pics for reference. Know I could...

Cab is not sitting level on the chassis. Why? Will take a picture of the rear cab mounts to show that it's assembled correctly. Pretty sure about that. But there are supposed to be rubber pads in between the cab and the chassis at the front mounts, right? That's just going to make it worse? How...

Firewall on the engine-compartment side. Any/all holes and knockouts are fair-game. ****, even the air-filter housing...

Help me remember what goes where. Know those two empty holes on the far left are for the engine kill and hand throttle, but which one goes where, and where are they supposed to pass through the firewall? Can't find a plaque that fits in that space under the procurement tag. If I remember...

If you can help, post here after replying for a chance to win a free pair of hubsteps.

First question: here

Putting mah deuce back together and I was pretty good about bagging and labeling hardware and everything, but there are a few things I can't remember and it's a new A3 cab and a bunch of other new parts, so it's not going together exactly like it came apart. Mostly just little things, like the...

Fitting a NOS composite A3 hood to my A2, and remember seeing some scans or screen-shots of a manual that documented the A2 -> A3 conversion, but cannot seem to find them now. Can anybody point me in the right direction? Going to make a custom grill, keeping the A2 headlights, so won't be I'm...

...says the guy who lives in the Ozarks. Bwahaha.

Yeah G, the openings are square-ish and the doors fit in the openings nicely without the hinges. That's the one thing I did check before having everything painted. Just tried bending the hinges with a hydraulic ram while they were installed and that's a big no-go. Started to spread the door...

Think that if I use a hydraulic ram to adjust the hinges while they're installed, that would probably be OK though, yeah? Seems like those hinges will bend way before the cab will start getting twisted out-of-shape. Like the idea of doing it on the vehicle because I can push-check-push-check...

Thanks! That sounds like a lot better idea than removing the hinges to bend them. Dunno why I didn't think of that. Especially since this wouldn't be the first time I've had to use a hydraulic ram to 'adjust' things on this vehicle. Regarding overthinking things, have you see this motorhome I'm...

I need a set of those brackets that bolt to the back of the cab. Anybody have a pair?

Just had the inside and underside of my cab sprayed with Ultimate Linings (spray-on bedliner). Need to figure out how to strip that tar stuff off the bottom of my M109 box so I can have that sprayed too. Wouldn't even worry about removing the old stuff, except the sheetmetal has rusted through.

Checked my u-joints when I went through the frontend and they were still in good shape. Didn't see any reason to replace them. Would like to upgrade to aftermarket shafts, so figured these won't be in there too much longer anyway...

Got my cab back, all painted and pretty. Time to start putting it all back together. But went to hang the doors today and got hung-up instead. What's the best way to adjust the fit? Would be easy if I needed to shim them backwards, but the doors on both sides need to go forwards. Can bend the...

Ordered a kit from Wolverine, but of course he never came through. So now am going to design mounts to replace the stock generator and add a 2nd 12V alternator using a couple of heavy-duty Leese Neville alternators. More info here.
