    Monster Transmissions

    Ed is the man. However, after his lung replacement last year I think he might be retired even though I know he has stopped in from time to time to say hello. They have other good folks there that worked with him.

    TH350 - where can i measure oil temperature

    It depends on who you ask and your purpose. TCI and some other transmission companies will say from the pan. I think Ed at PTC told me this too. B&M will say return after the cooler. Others say pressure line before the cooler. If I was drag racing on a trans brake I would do the pressure line...

    TH350 - where can i measure oil temperature

    My understanding was that hot fluid from the converter goes to the output to the cooler and also directly to the pan. So if that is true you would know regardless of your cooler size. I have heard that if the temp from the converter is much hotter than people think and the oil really doesn't...

    More fire safety ( fire suppresion systems)

    Got ya. I'm sure they are both good. I definitely don't regret the cold fire. I like the ability to recharge and re fill it. I know I wouldn't change the other kind out after 5 years like you are supposed to.

    TH350 - where can i measure oil temperature

    I have always heard that's not a good reading. Flash temp from the converter and other factors are involved. Definitely better than not having a gauge but I think the pan will give you the best feedback on that trans. Thinking back, i bought a weld in bung but tapped mine instead since the...

    More fire safety ( fire suppresion systems)

    Dillon, Do you like the Cold Fire kit any better than the Safecraft? I got the 2 liter Cold Fire kit and I thought Ray did as well from the guy Gregg knows. Just curious since you might have experience with both. I have two nozzles but would have liked to have one in the trans tunnel as well. I...

    14 bolt steering axles.

    I'm pretty sure some folks have just welded 60 spiders in place of the 14 bolt ones with a little alignment and a lot of welding to Lincoln lock it. I remember when the Tanners used to snap 35 spline RCVs like crazy. I saw 3 go at once on a hill. Bobby had a front HP 60 that took major abuse...

    14 bolt steering axles.

    If re-using the stock shafts you could weld the stock spiders in the carrier really good instead of a spool to save some money. Could make it plenty strong for stock shafts. I probably wouldn't do it for something like 35 spline Branik 1550 stuff though. Not sure i see the need to go 14bolt...

    14 bolt steering axles.

    I was going to say basically the same. What is your goal with strength? I'm guessing pretty stout if you are thinking a high pinion Ford 60 ring and pinion won't cut it up front. What I was going to do is put the big Super 60 F450/550 outers on with standard 05+ unit bearings replacing the 10...

    Cut Off Wheel Thickness???

    I use normal thickness and thin blades frequently. Im a little more gentle setting the grinder down with the thin so I don't damage it but thats it. As a positive. The thin makes less dust since there is less material on the disk and it moves less material being thin.

    2004 Yamaha Rhino 660 Long Travel Build

    This past week I put a power steering kit on mine and bolted the inner CVs in the Diff because the square clips didn't hold them in. Got me wondering if you rode yours at GAP.

    Trail Comms

    That is good info. Yeah I thought to transmit you had to pay the $70 for a 10 year approval. I did not know that about the rugged radio channels though. That is nice as long as everyone has one.

    Trail Comms

    I thought anything over 5w you had to get the certification?

    Trail Comms

    Agree, that works some of the time. Also the biggest issue we run into is when some rigs can't hit certain trails due to difficulty, we get separated. Bypass and meet us at the end doesn't always work. I need to get radios but haven't. Do yall have everyone in the group certified to use them?
