[QUOTE="Dirt700, post: 668979, member: 11501"] While I'm waiting on my chassis I plan on buying some of the smaller stuff here and there while try to save for the big parts like tired, coilovers, front axle, etc. Trying to think of questions I have had and get them in one thread, so links would be great where I can book mark this stuff. Thanks in advance 1) 2.5x8 psc de ram is what I'm looking at. Is this what most of y'all use? I know they have a 2.75 also. I want to keep steering pretty quick. How many turns lock to lock do you like? 2) Transmission cooler. I'm looking at the different derale ones, would -6an be ok or should I do -8an. Also if there is a cheaper one that is good, let me know. These are the 2 I'm looking at [url=https://derale.com/products/fluid-coolers/universal/remote-mount2013-10-28-09-53-271073910258/magnetic-transmission-pan-drain-plug-kit-1-2-20-detail]https://derale.com/products/fluid-coolers/universal/remote-mount2013-10-28-09-53-271073910258/magnetic-transmission-pan-drain-plug-kit-1-2-20-detail[/url] [url=https://derale.com/products/fluid-coolers/universal/remote-mount2013-10-28-09-53-271073910258/8-pass-16-tube-fin-electra-cool-replacement-cooler-8an-detail]https://derale.com/products/fluid-coolers/universal/remote-mount2013-10-28-09-53-271073910258/8-pass-16-tube-fin-electra-cool-replacement-cooler-8an-detail[/url] 3) water pump fitting, I have this thread saved on threading in a fitting, and I know some of you have just welded on a fitting.
