    New IDI Aquisition

    here's the opposite.....brick to OBS :D only way you can tell is the "bar" on the SC window. also retained the enforcer bumper that came on a brick. got a hole to fill. have yet to do. it's a work mule. "pretty" isn't essential.

    Aluminum Wheel Spacers

    i'll bite. i don't like them. are the ones you have are for dually conversion or are they to change your "stance"? both are a bad idea, the second is worse. the spacers essentially move the weight distribution from between two bearings to a load bias on one bearing and less on the other. and...

    New IDI Aquisition

    i went from a brick to OBS on one of my towtrucks. essentially a bolt-on. there are minor issues that need some ingenuity but not impossible. like the fender mounting tab onto the body, an "L" may need to be added or the tab will need to be beat flat. wiper cowl will need to be changed too. i...

    US Gear Dual Range / Doug Nash Info

    when I was running my carrier, my parking brake was bolted to the butt of the USG :D this one might work for you.

    US Gear Dual Range / Doug Nash Info

    i'll post a pic of it later. in short....... no it is not a direct bolt-up from the transfer case to the USG. Yes, I paid a guy to reverse engineer the adapter flange and yes, there were a couple made and I paid for them accordingly. No, I am not giving them away for free or cheap. I've done...

    New IDI Aquisition

    last time I checked, most everyone else in the free world calls that a "front clip" :D if you were is the bodyshop and wrecking yard business, that is accepted terminology. so is left side cut, right side cut and rear clip. I tend to refer the rear as a butt cut and they still understand...

    New IDI Aquisition

    usually when people talk about the doghouse, it's the rear fender extension for dually pickups. are we talking about the same thing?

    you just took all the "fun" out of self discovery. :o there's been a local shop that was offering "cheaper" solutions, but the results were criminally negligent. some of their bleedover has been washing up at my place. Unfortunately, I won't "fix" their fuckups other than essentially starting...

    K&N ATS air filter question

    thanks to the CDR, my K&N remains very will oiled, thank you. that is one thing I don't need to be worried about the element getting sucked dry from the intake airflow. How is this possible? All I can say is you've never heard the decel bark on my truck. :o

    Need help

    i've done the install front header on the block assemble bundle and rear header with hydraulic press. install the o-rings on the bundle for the front and use a porta-power to pop it into the front header. requires shop level tools but gets the job done every time.

    K&N ATS air filter question

    hard to say. i'm not only turbo'd but also intercooled so my results will vary.

    don't know what to tell you then other than good luck with it. *IF* you can't cure your deathwobble with tires/shocks/tierods, the lack of spring travel plays a major factor in it. but as always, start with the easy stuff first. while you're at it, put in a steering dampener, it won't cure the...

    K&N ATS air filter question

    i have the same part number air filter on the Nostromo. I did go one step further. I took the foam prefilter from the wix filter and put it in the air filter housing bowl before putting in the K&N. I figure a little extra prefilter never hurt noone. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES do you put it in the...

    are there a set of these blocks in the back? they must be 4in high. if you don't, and you truck doesn't look like it has a "nose high" look, yea.....you still have the D50 springs in.

    New to me 94 IDIT rescue.

    i possibly have some very bad news for you. those front springs look like D50 reverse arch springs. in short, they are the wrong springs. when you get a chance post a whole bunch of pics detailing your front suspension and I will try to confirm the ID.

    get a hold of Riotwarrior via pm to get tips on getting stuff shipped to a US address and come down across the border to get picked up. "NAFTA" certainly didn't work out for the little guy on US/Canadian parts sales. :(

    Did I get a good deal?

    the nice part is from 1980 to 1998, they somehow will bolt together. :D
