    Front end "alignment" on Quigley 4x4

    A few things to check other than toe: 1. Obvious, but tire pressure or dragging brakes. 2. Check the front axle to see if it is centered side to side on the vehicle. If the track bar isn't adjustable, or adjusted incorrectly, it could push one side out further than the other and cause the van...

    Not So Subtle E350 Shuttle - 100% Satisfaction Guaranteed

    I would say 4.30's if you want near stock ratio. When I had my van on 35's with 3.55's a strong headwind would bog it enough for a downshift. That was with a healthy 6.0 diesel. I went with 4.10's and it made a huge difference and mileage even improved. The tranny was way happier too. Did...

    It's a good thing you held off on re-gearing, because you wouldn't have had time to properly break them in prior to your trip. Speedo correction might not be needed if you find the right ratio. Have a fun trip!

    Cut 1" off of front axle bump stop on Quigley 4x4 conversion?

    Unfortunately, it's a matter of packaging. Too many things taking up the same space. Properly valved shocks and better springs will make a huge difference in ride quality and driveability. I am willing to bet that the improvements there will more than offset the increased ride height...

    The Wanderers build

    That owl seems pretty comfy right there. That last picture looks like my driveway last week. My NP241C is leaking from pretty much everywhere and it dumped a bunch out the tail cone. When I went to top it off, I knocked the ATF over on the driveway and ruined my favorite Carhartt jacket. Come...

    Cut 1" off of front axle bump stop on Quigley 4x4 conversion?

    The diff housing will ********** into the engine crossmember. Not a lot of room in 4wd vans with low lift heights. Quigley's are known for the abrupt ride. Freeing up room for additional up travel means cutting the crossmember, as well as, pushing the front axle forward a bit. Jump over to the...

    The Wanderers build

    I was wondering how the 6.2 would tow. Not really known to be pullers, but you do have the turbo. Did you make it ok?

    VANdiana Jones sequel: The Legacy Continues

    I made my share of mistakes, but that van was a solid foundation. Just glad Jeremy has the desire, and you have the capabilities, to take it to another level of awesome.

    MG Metalworks Van Build

    Nice work MG. As much as I am excited about those Transit parts, I'd really like to receive some texts while you guys are out enjoying the Cummins Van. You deserve a little time away with that chapter in the books. Also, let me know when the GM squarebody development program begins...
