I recognize the Lancia Delta, but what’s the other one? Audi?

….and at that moment Gurt suddenly realized that the right pedal was variable and not an on/off switch.

It’s never simple is it? I guess there is that one simple option of not beating the snot out of your rig :)

Why not upgrade to a w59 or R150, aren’t they a lot stronger? I have one of each if you want to make a really long road trip.

That That’s awesome. Will it do a burnout?

This would be a good quote to put in with “hey don’t burn my oil drain pan” and “ I don’t think antifreeze will burn” Ryan’s a pretty agreeable guy most of the time. He just says stuff like this for fun.

Kind of an old thread but thought I would throw this in here. I crammed a piece of 3/8 trans cooler line inside the barrel to keep the mechanism over to keep the wheel unlocked. I’ll be using a screw driver to start it until the parts come in. It seems like I live a week away from every part I...

Also makes sense, I guess we’ll find out one way or another.

Here’s what I was thinking: GVWR is probably around 26k. It would have been designed to handle 40 ish passengers and still be legal. Thats about 8k of freight. The seats are gone so there’s another 3k. The motor and trans probably weigh 2k plus another 1k of fuel and fluids. So 14k is gone from...

I bet it doesn’t weigh 10k after you pull the motor. Cage the brakes and make a tow bar out of some scrap laying around, or maybe a chunk of the frame. I used to see the trains of cars headed to Mexico going down the interstate all the time. Those dudes would pull 3 of those buses all tow barred...

I think you can get 10k oil bath trailer axles but you definitely have the right idea of putting more on the truck, it needs it.

Probably because the end result will be very similar

Does this mean there won’t be a rooftop party deck??
