The Frankenstein Build! LT/Expo/Trail rig..and BS

Not true. AEM FIC can tune injector pulse width. Even without that ability, 400cc injectors tend to be the top end of ok.

 

I fucking hate differentials.

Every time i touch one they fight back.

Fucked up one of my bearings tonight trying to remove it from the carrier. So much for new..ordered a new one and a new bearing puller..

also had a bolt strip on the ring gear that is on the locker. Had to weld a nut to it.

hate this bullshit.

 

Sorry for the heartache. I hate diffs too and I've only ever pulled one not set one up...

 

well take it from me..those pre assembled thirds form ECGS...totally worth it.

 

That's why I just pull my diffs and take them in to a shop to let them mess with that shit!

 

Even with the hassle, cost, and wait of shipping?

 

ECGS ftw. 5 year warranty too.

 

what hassle? sitting on your butt waiting for it to show up and then just swapping it and shipping back?

WWAAAYYYY fucking easier. thats like 0 hassle compared to doing it yourself. haha

and yea, warranty.

 

If I can squirrel away the monies its what I'm gonna do... KO2 in the 35" flavour and go with 4:88 from ecgs. Unless Monte you want to set up my diffs I mean your dad's seem to be doing fine

 

Well your rear would be super easy compared to our since its the elocker. Backlash is super easy to set on those. Just ratchet it in or out.

The front...idk...haha

I figure if they didn't explode when hauling Frank across Montana they must be good! haha

35s eh? for real?? Sick 35s FTW. I love having them.

 

Yea... Who am I kidding, it will happen eventually, why not this summer. Just gotta prepare myself for the cutting and bashing. Plus gears will suck.

 

Yea you will need the gears at the same time probably. The highway will suck otherwise.

And wow this summer huh??? bad ass!

 

slush fund is growing!

Yea gears or 35's don't happen imo. More like 1st low will feel like 100mph!

Sometime this summer or fall hopefully.

 

That 5 year warranty is the shit! Just have to make sure you have a DD, because it's about a week to 2 week wait time if you have to use it.


I want dirty-fives No way I can run them with my rear setup though. I've have to cut the shit out of my bed. My 33's have already cracked it they hit it so hard... I'll have to run a bed cage and ditch the bed before I can step up in tire size.


So no more roof rack Monte? Or are you going to rebuild it?

 

wow. Well sweet! stoked to see it. Be ready by august????

No roof rack. Thought about the Prinsue one but decided not too. I like the cleaner look now anyways.

 

Why is there a wait time? Can't you just order the pre-built thirds, install them, then mail your stock ones back?

 

They build them after you order since there are several options for them. I did what you said though. Shipping is about 4-5 days from the East Coast to the North west as well.

For warranty work you send your broken diff to them, about 4-5 days, they work on it, about 2-3 days depending on how busy they are and then 4-5 days to ship it back. That is what I was referring to on the 1-2 week wait.

 

IDK how you guys are turboing for so cheap...pricing out stuff for me. im at 3k before shipping. And still missing parts....

@j0shu4 @GioGuitarDude @StAndrew

 

Yes, please share with the rest of the class.

 

Took my time, was patient, and got lucky. As long as it took to install, took longer to research and get the parts. I bought used for the most part.

URD port fueler, injectors, and t-split for $200 IIRC.

Got the AEM FIC used for ~$130 IIRC

I used the CX turbo. So the kit I got for ~$1500.

Got a new Tial WG for $270.

Intercooler was ~$100.

Fuel pump was $100.

Misc gaskets, parts, bolts, etc... probably no more than $100.

- Saved hundreds on the port fueler and injectors.
