Figures. Now tha the truck is 95% of the way there, I finally find the engine I wanted to start with. 4BT Cummins. Picked it up 2 weeks ago from a guy that parts the bread vans out. was an hour away, and I only paid $1200 bucks for it. 130K miles on it. Runs good, fired right up once we got the air ...

Carl, you could try getting a slide hammer and making an "L" shaped hook to go on the end, sticking it through the holes in the rim, hooking it on the backside and slide hammering the daylights out of them.

NO NASCAR! NONE!!

Yeah, Ive seen that before, it is a very neat concept. Only issue I see is how to oil the second piston way out there, but, Im sure you could do it. They also are working on an electronic turbo that uses a small high speed brushless motor to spool the turbo very fast, and then, it uses that same mot...

Anthony,

Are you running your 24V wipers on 12V? I had 24V ones in mine, running on 12 when I converted to teh V8 and they were VERY slow.

I've had good luck using a 50/50 mix of diesel and ATF to preserve and free old stuff, but, as Charlse said, it will probably leak out. It doesnt take much seat degredation for the winch to leak.

Take the ca...

Does the Haus-frau appreciate it?....

Ja! She says when I get bored with it she wants it! And she refuses to drive a stick, so, she REALLY likes it!

Rix, the TT is AWD too...

Thanks guys! Negative on spraying it OD, haha! I like the German Silver, its easy to keep clean, and hides defects!

Traded my little black Japanese toaster in for another Audi. :D I've named her Heidi. Had her for 3 days now and absolutely LOVE the car. Fantastic machine. Has the same build DNA and rock solid build quality that my S4 did, hopefully she will prove to be more reliable though. Hasthe APR chip alread...

any updates? this truck is starting to look good!

Hmm, those are good ideas. Might have to think more on those!

yeah, no hood scoop, lol. that was one of my original design criteria, it had to fit under the hood, and above the bottom of the frame. I gotta take some mesurements and see what kinf od room I have to work with.
