I am totally up for putting a shitload of miles on a soon-to-be-certified-pre-owned C-class. Hell, if we're going to Mexico, there's probably a class in NORRA it would do okay in.Frank Dillinger posted:On the upside, you’re putting miles on a car that isn’t yours for a while, right? Weird that the ETA for the pump is so far off, should be like 3-4 weeks max unless there aren’t any available world wide for some reason. My dad nuked a brake master cylinder on a week-old hybrid Pathfinder (during the brief window where Nissan sold that car); they had to not only order one from Japan but apparently commission one specially from the tiny-rear end factory that made them. Took almost two months.

Someone's trying a lazy flip on cop tahoes. https://www.gcsurplus.ca/mn-eng.cfm?snc=wfsav&sc=ach-shop&vndsld=1&srchtype=&lci=&sr=1&str=21<nf=1&lcn=482487&lct=L&sf=ferm-clos https://www.rbauction.com/2014-chevrolet-tahoe-sport-utility-vehicle?invId=11324037&id=ci&auction=edmonton-ab-2019133 https://www.gcsurplus.ca/mn-eng.cfm?snc=wfsav&sc=ach-shop&vndsld=1&srchtype=&lci=&sr=1&str=31<nf=1&lcn=482407&lct=L&sf=ferm-clos https://www.rbauction.com/2014-chevrolet-tahoe-sport-utility-vehicle?invId=11324038&id=ci&auction=edmonton-ab-2019133 If they succeed, i would imagine it's the end of cheap tahoes. It'll turn into a dollar auction.

That's new oil every ~3500km. Makes me want one even more now to rip the lovely body off an put a cadillac eldo body on. If these jerks drive prices up i'll be mildly upset. e: They went for $5500 a piece. Even if they knew a salesman and could get the 10% rate, that's $4950 a piece paid out and they paid $4,888.80 a piece after taxes from the gov auction. they would have had to get a registration in their name to put it in the ritchie bros auction at 85 bucks a piece, so they lost at least $20 each for all their efforts. Spending a couple hundred on a console and some door panels probably would have earned them a couple grand more. They lost at least $40, but it's all worth it because seeing the carfaxes on them makes me want one even more. e: They lost at least 5 grand on a charger too. https://www.gcsurplus.ca/mn-eng.cfm?snc=wfsav&sc=ach-shop&vndsld=1&srchtype=&lci=&sr=1&str=1<nf=1&lcn=481343&lct=L&sf=ferm-clos https://www.rbauction.com/2012-dodge-charger-automobile?invId=11325571&id=ci&auction=edmonton-ab-2019133 not the exact same car like the yukons up there, but that gen of charger rarely goes under $10k on gcsurplus.

ooooooooh, that gives me dirty ideas. Did you put a breaker bar on it and see if she spins? Also, I'm looking for, ideally, 2 GM LFX 3.6s, so if you spot one let me know. Row52 showed an impala in Edmonton, but it wasn't there when i went. I might end up settling for 2 3.6 pentastars, because caravans seem to be more common in those yards.

Chain couplers or a solid rigid coupler is going to give you biggest bang for the buck. I wouldn't bother with a clutching mechanism to split them. You're just adding complexity and your $$ - high torque clutches are expensive. If you don't need the power the motor(s) will hardly be working anyhow. https://www.rexnord.com/products-services/process-motion-control/pt-drive-components/clutches/bsd-pressure-operated-clutches

I was thinking a guibo style coupler to avoid any weird vibration transfer or bearing loading form imperfect alignment. The clutch thing is probably out the window because if i've got a switch that says 300hp and 600hp, i'm probably never gonna touch it.

Yes, that would be fine. Alignment for anything like that is super, super critical. Even if a coupler allows for some misalignment, any misalignment significantly reduces the life expectancy. Take absolute care that it's as dead nuts on as humanly possible.

I feel like an over center clutch would be just about ideal if you did want the option, but you would need a lot of reduction in whatever linkage you built because they take one hell of a pull to snap in or out.

A 6.0 would have to be drat near free for me to gently caress with it.

The engines are actually reliable if you catch them early. I need a flat deck truck, don't want to pay Cummins prices and just generally don't like the Dodge trucks.

It's shocking how long it took me to realize those last gen top kicks are just a stubby Savannavan body on a heavier frame. The flip forward hood disguises it really well.
