2.5 puller project

Well, it's too late now, guess I can take the cab off if I start to notice any flex

Ya They were really bent and we took them off


Found a pic, is this the truck you are referring to?

If so I do not see those bars being anywhere near 8 feet long. I would take a guess they are 6 feet tops.

Those are more like 4ft to 5ft max. I think the how its attached to the frame has alot to do with it aswell as the angle. The short bars on my rclb dont have much angle in them
 
Well, I finally got the Dana 80 back under it, and got the Dana 60 out, the upper support arm bushing/bolt had to be cut out of both sides, huge pain, but anyways... still making progress, slowly but surely

These bushings were a huge pain!! heat, saw-zall, drill, air chisel, etc etc.. huge pain to get out...
 
Alright got the front axle back underneath it tonight, gonna redo all the steering tomorrow due to bad tie rod ends and drag link joints all loose... but all this will probably have to wait given my CR is acting up now
 
Reviving this old thread I know.... it's been a journey

looking good
did you ever get a turbo picked out ?
any thaught given to the new s300 SXE line ?
 
I have a box s464, it's currently a t6 foot 1.1 I think?? [Whatever is standard], but I have a t4 .9 sitting next to it.... im going to install a Billet wheel and a 360 degree thrust and rebalance it, before she goes down the track

On that note, can anybody point me in a direction to find an exhaust flange for that t4 housing and a clamp?

Also, I have to figure out my intake... I have a joker fab individual runner, class rules state I cannot run this, so I either need a side draft for a 12v or I have to hack up mine, which I really don't want to do, my injection lines are for the runner intake though... decisions, decisions....

Search eBay for s400 billet exhaust flange. Company out of Fl lists them with the clamp. Quality piece and not priced bad.
