    Update on Diesel Buggy!

    This Atlas is a heavy duty version of what they normally sell. It has a heavy duty output kit that they do special for some military rigs. It may soon be available. I think it will be called the M300 option but only for the 2sp. It can handle anything a Duramax can through at it.

    Update on Diesel Buggy!

    The tires have a PVC insert that goes inside the tire before the two piece rim is bolted togerther which is known as a double bead lock. The tire can not come off the rim since it is clamped from the inside out... I have 20 PSI in them.

    steering? There is a joy stick just to the left of the steering wheel. If the steering wheel is held still and the stick is moved right the back end turns left to push the front end to the right. If both the steering and the joy stick go right you will make a very tight circle. Being left...

    AC pump conversion to air pump

    mobile air compressor question I all else fails and the GM Ac unit does not work out I may take a serious look at the new Warn VTC V-twin portable unit. I saw one at the SEMA Show last fall. It is 8 cfm @ 90 psi. But, that is a last resort. Without the AC unit in place I end up with belt...

    AC pump conversion to air pump

    fried compressor.. I agree that without an oil injection it will not last long. Rather that re-invent the wheel, I am hoping someone has or knows of an injection system before I start designing one at the expense of a couple of compressors before I get it right.

    AC pump conversion to air pump

    Space? I am already running dual alternators with due to all of the extra stuff on my buggy. Space is the problem with the big York units that I have seen. Can York convert a standard AC pump? The dual alternator setup limits the belts available to just one which creats a problem changing...

    AC pump conversion to air pump

    Has anyone converted an A/C compressor to a typical air supply compressor using the current style unit found on the new Duramax. I am building a buggy that will not use the AC so rather than try to switch to the older York models I am planning to use the stock compressor to fill a small air...
