    1993 Typhoon For Sale

    Re: 1993 Typhoon For Sale It's the ATR battery relo kit, but it has been improved with remote charging terminals (easily accessible from the engine compartment), better wiring, and a beefed up support system to keep the battery from shifting around in it's niche in the fenderwell.

    1993 Typhoon For Sale

    Re: 1993 Typhoon For Sale The handling and ride are a lot better than stock - much less body roll and bouncing around, much more control especially when going over bumps or through turns while accelerating or moving rapidly. The steering is noticeably quicker although I don't really like the...

    Re: 1993 Typhoon For Sale Hey Keith Good to talk to you. :) Yeah, I'm still around. I've just been very busy with a bunch of stuff. The Syclone is 95% done - just waiting to put the motor back together. How about you and yours?

    1993 Typhoon For Sale

    Re: 1993 Typhoon For Sale Thanks! There are some pictures of the front suspension Here and the rear suspension Here. These pictures were actually taken during the process of prototyping the suspension for my Syclone, but the Typhoon front setup is identical and the Typhoon rear is substantially...

    PEP Suspension Problems

    You definitely need to speak to both Dennis and Bilstein about this. I believe that when you send back the shocks for the rebuild Bilstein tries to determine the cause of failure - did they tell you anything? Is there any indication of what the shock could be rubbing on (whatever it is must be...

    Al Dustan/DPT-who's been screwed?

    I wouldn't be so sure there is no recourse if fraud can be demonstrated.

    Al Dustan/DPT-who's been screwed?

    Re: Al Dustan/DPT-who's been screwed? Was that the funky looking tube chassis shown in the DPT photos on Sportmachines? If so, you were screwed the minute he started making it - it was not a proper design, at least ATD when I showed him the pictures. As for the workmanship...

    Doc Hoover in the 9s???

    I *believe* the truck was set up (before the PEP front kit install) so that on heavy acceleration, the front would lift and the rear would settle, promoting weight transfer from front to back. This is kinda like you might do for 2WD vehicles - the added weight on the rear improves traction. Of...

    PEP front coil over kit - frame bracing necessary?

    Hey Adam - I encourage you to try the recommended setup first, to evaluate the difference going from stock to PEP components *and* as a baseline to compare the "normal" PEP install to the configuration you're talking about. Let us know what you think. BTW, Dennis would be happy to do a...

    PEP front coil over kit - frame bracing necessary?

    Rollcages - now we're talking about a different kettle of fish. Yes, a *proper* rollcage, which on a Syclone would need to go down to the frame, both through the floorboards *and* through the rear of the cab, would stiffen the frame, mostly in the center and rear of the truck. Above, we were...

    PEP front coil over kit - frame bracing necessary?

    rockvillespeed - please try to maintain your composure. I didn't take your post as a flame, and neiither was mine meant to be one. I'm trying to point out that your opinion on this matter seems more based on speculation than a true engineering analysis. You said "i have no idea actually how...

    PEP front coil over kit - frame bracing necessary?

    Your response is one big contradiction. You say you "have no idea actually how strong they are", then you go on to make statements about their load handling capacity and the need for bracing. What "fact" are you stating? What training or experience are you basing your opinions on. Dennis...

    PEP front coil over kit - frame bracing necessary?

    Re: PEP front coil over kit - frame bracing necessary? OK, ATD: -The stock shock towers are well designed and solidly built. They are much stronger than they look. -These trucks were designed as 4X4's for offroad use and the frame is built strong to handle torsional stress - it's fully...

    Stiffest Shocks?

    For a long time the Bilstein Sports were considered to be the stiffest - more than one person who put them on ended up taking them off due to extreme stiffness. Haven't heard anyone talking about them for a long time now though.

    JS Design Coil over Suspension

    I agree. I've done business with you before, and would again. I respect your knowledge and your opinions. As far as the shipping costs on the kits, those details were not handled through me but directly with PEP. I agree it sounds like a lot of $$, but Dennis swears thats what it cost to...
