    Atlas II 4-Speed Performance Levels

    How much horsepower/torque can a Atlas II 4-Speed handle? From what I've read the strongest selectable gear transfercase is the Trail Worthy Hero Transfercase. 50BMG

    Gearvendors VS US GEAR Overvdrive

    Thanks for clarifying that for me Signal73, I appreciate it. However unfortunate that it may be. 50BMG

    Gearvendors VS US GEAR Overvdrive

    I don't mean to question things but why would GV make an adapter to the Allison 1000 6.6 Duramax pairing and then recommend against putting a GV behind a 4BT ? As it would take extensive modification to make a 4BT have the same power levels as a stock 6.6 Duramax, I must be missing something...

    Gearvendors VS US GEAR Overvdrive

    Would the Atlas II 4-Speed be able to handle the horsepower /torque if this particular setup? 50BMG

    Gearvendors VS US GEAR Overvdrive

    Thanks jghflys, I was just worried about over loading it when hauling cattle,pulling a heavy RV, or limited 4x4 use.

    Gearvendors VS US GEAR Overvdrive

    Gearvendors vs US Overdrive? What's the maximum reccomended horsepower / torque, towing weight ratings and other pros/cons for these overdrive units. Planning on using a 700r4 or a built 700r4 transmission behind a ~350hp-850ftlb 4bt cummins with a Atlas II 4-speed 4wd transfercase if possible...

    Making Vehicles Wheelchair Accessible

    I know that when I'm in my chair I measure no less than 4'8" maybe more, if I were to get a different chair that could change (probably will actually) I don't know if I'll be taller or shorter though. 50BMG

    You're probably right Ozymandias. The E350 just might have a higher center of gravity. 50BMG

    Making Vehicles Wheelchair Accessible

    I was just looking at the options avalible for a Mercedes Sprinter. There's actually an option for a 6x6 conversion. I don't know all the details on it but a 6x6 Mercedes Sprinter on 406 Unimog Axles with portal boxes would almost make it a BIG Pinzgaur. If I went this far I'd probably also do a...

    Making Vehicles Wheelchair Accessible

    I would think that adapting something similar to a Tommy Gate Lift that most any vehicle could be wheelchair accessible . Am I right in my thinking? 50BMG

    Making Vehicles Wheelchair Accessible

    Thanks jgillott, I will certainly look into that. Especially since as much as I like them exmilitary vehicles / surplus military vehicles like Deuce and a Halfs, 5-Tons, Humvees, and Pinzgaurs are getting harder to find and more expensive as days go by. A more modern and more readily avalible...

    Making Vehicles Wheelchair Accessible

    Thanks Ozymandias, yes the most important things are that I can drive and park the vehicle by myself in my chair. Secondary things are that the vehicle could go most places that a 4x4 vehicle can. A Pinzgaur would be neat since they aren't much bigger than my current minivan and from what I've...

    Making Vehicles Wheelchair Accessible

    Thanks everyone for your thoughts, ideas, and insight. I am completely wheelchair / powerchair bound. Unfortunately I can't even get around on crutches, or a walker. Like I said above I currently drive a dodge minivan on my own without anyone's help by use of hand controls. I did notice this I...

    Making Vehicles Wheelchair Accessible

    Hello, I am just asking if anyone has any ideas about making a vehicle wheelchair accessible preferably 4X4. I have a minivan but I feel that it severely limits where I can go and get to. My van has a ~8ft ramp so I always need either a van accessible handicap parking spot or 2 regular parking...

    8.3 Cummins & 5.9 Cummins Compatibility

    Hello, I was just inquiring as to if there are any parts compatibility between the 8.3 Cummins and the 5.9 Cummins ? It seems as though there are a a lot more performance parts for the 5.9 Cummins and from what I can see very little for the bigger 8.3 Cummins. Thanks in advance for any thoughts...

    2-Stroke Detroit Diesel 71 Series and 92 Series

    Hello, I was just inquiring about the 2-Stroke Detroit Diesel 71 Series and the 92 Series. How closely are they related to one another? For instance I have read that boats and buses with a 671 Detroit (can't remember if cylinder orientation Inline or V made a difference or not) could be changed...

    Wheelchair Accesibilty

    Yeah I had thought of doing something similar to that, I currently drive a 2014 Dodge Grand Caravan with a ramp going out ~8ft (the need to use a handicap parking spot since it takes 2 regular parking spots) with mechanical hand controls. I just like to be different always have, can't help it...

    Wheelchair Accesibilty

    Thanks Timd32 I'll be sure to look into that. My thoughts if even remotely possible would be to do something like they do for chevy trucks where the 'floor' of the truck slides out and then lowers down. Except I'd have it a little more forward to where my powerchair would slide me under the...

    Wheelchair Accesibilty

    Hello, I am researching on how I could possibly make a slide out wheelchair lift similar to the wheelchair accessible trucks for a hot rod truck/suv. Thanks in advance for any thoughts, opinions, or thoughts.

    3-53 Detroit

    I was just thinking about the various 1000HP-1000+HP 4 cylinder engines. As far as lack of an engines displacement forced induction can make up for at least a bit if not completely, as well as the proper addition of fuel. Although the engines internal would need to be reworked and or customized...
