    12 ton or 20 ton shop press

    I use my Swag brake all the time in my 20T. Did you check out the steel plates they sell to replace the exploding cast plates? http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/shop-tools/1079382-beware-hf-press-plates.html?nocache=1465387113056

    tranny crossmember studs broken

    Since yer doin a drop anyways, get some 1" tube drill and rivnut so the cross member can bolt to it. It should stick out a couple inches from the crossmember front and rear so you can drill new holes and install new rivnuts in the frame.

    Performance ignition stuff

    A good SMP wire set, premium cap and rotor are all you need. SMP makes their own wires here in the U.S. http://youtu.be/JjF4NqMVbQk

    FWD in winter. Open D30 or Locker?

    To clarify, FWD= front wheel drive, Dana 300 twin stick, and selectable not really an option I'd like to pursue with the 3 series carrier. 4wd is fine for those few days the roads aren't 50% dry and 50% slippery ice due to drifting and road salt. WB9YZU, I'll be either an hour south or east of...

    FWD in winter. Open D30 or Locker?

    I am relocating back up north in a year or so and finalizing the D30 is the next step of the build. I'd like input if the open diff or a $199 Lokka would be best on icy/slushy roads in front wheel drive only mode. My rig will be equipped with Dana 300 twin stick (flipped ), Lokka 8.25, 32" Irok...

    Edelbrock aluminum head in the works

    My guess is they kept CR low to keep NOX at acceptable levels in order to get their EO exemption. They might of left the exhaust ports a little restricted for the same reason. For lack of an EGR system, they need to keep combustion temp around or below 1,300C, that magical temp where NOX is...

    2001 Ignition Coilpack upgrade

    The Mercedes rail coil has the drivers built into it and they fail frequently on stock motors. It's not the same as the Mopar coil.

    What's your opinion of rivnuts?

    There's a method of using 5 washers between the rivnut & bolt, putting oil between the washers, and holding the washer stack with visegrips. I tried it and the rivnut would spin in the hole until I put a split lockwasher between the rivnut and washer stack. The split washer is installed opposite...
