TECH CORNER: TOP FIVE 5.9 CUMMINS MODS AND WHY THEY WORK Hence why swapping the intake and exhaust manifolds is next on our list of worthy 5.9 Cummins mods. This upgrade, paired with a better fuel system will be key to supporting big power builds. aFe Power, ATS, and BD Diesel Performance are just a few great names to turn to for durable diesel intake and exhaust manifolds. ADJUSTING THAT REAR END: GET TRACTION UNDER CONTROL The first time you hit the track, you may run into some issues with getting the rear end to hook up just right. Axle wrap, wheel hop, and poor shock/spring selection are serious killers of traction, and if you can’t seem to get a grip, these are often the cause of the issue. These can manifest as wheel spin, wheel hop, sluggish 60-foottimes
4-LINKS OR RADIUS ARMS: WHAT'S BETTER? 4-Links. A 4-link setup on the other hand, attaches to an axle at two separate points and then to the chassis. The bottom two links locate the axle for back and forth movement, while the upper two links keep the axle from rotating freely. But there are two different styles of THE DEBATE RAGES ON: AIR LOCKERS OR E Often, e-lockers are used as factory equipment on many vehicles. (Toyota, Ford, GM, and Chrysler all sell models that come stock with this style of locking differential.) In the debate of air lockers or e-lockers, this tends to add fuel to fire. It gives the sense that because manufacturers rely on e-lockers, so should the aftermarket. BATTLE OF THE LIFTERS: FLAT TAPPET VS ROLLER, SOLID VS With solid lifters, valve lash will need to be set and adjusted from time to time. (Valve lash is the clearance between the rocker arm and the tip of the valvestem.) This is a crucial setting, as it will determine the performance and lifespan of the valvetrain and will keep valve duration and lift on key with the cam’s specs. FORD FX4 OFF-ROAD PACKAGE: IS IT WORTH IT? Since the F-150 is bulkier than the Ranger, and therefore a little less nimble off-road, its FX4 package isn’t quite as robust. Additionally, it cannot be paired with the 3.3L Ti-VCT engine option. That said, those who opt for the upgrade gain the expected electronic-locking rear diff, Hill Descent Control, and Rancho shocks,plus skid plates
JEEP LS SWAP: WRANGLING MORE POWER WITH A V8 Frankly, this is extremely surprising considering how popular V8 swaps are for JK and JL Wranglers. Just turn to this past SEMA show, where Maximum Elevation, Freedom Fabworks, and Bruiser Conversions all showed off some impressive V8 Jeep builds.

BASIC DO'S AND DON'T'S WHEN BUILDING A Don’t: Wait on ordering the axles. Having axles on hand, before building the frame, can save time by helping you decide the width of the trailer up front. If you build the frame before ordering, or at least know exactly what axles you will be using, one of two things will happen. Either the frame will get the death wheel or the axleswill

These engines are already turning out well over 300 hp so if that’s good enough for the time being, all that’s left to be concerned with is getting it into place. BREAKING DOWN CARBURETED LS VS EFI Is a Carbureted LS Worth the Trouble? Keep in mind, you already have EFI. Making this swap is going to cost as much as an upgraded EFI system and, honestly, you’ll be spending more time tuning and dialing the system in—as it is a routine process with a carburetor. 4-LINKS OR RADIUS ARMS: WHAT'S BETTER? For a better understanding and a second opinion, we reached out to Jeremy Naugle of Apple Hill 4X4 Auto & Collision LLC, a division of A&A Auto Stores in Muncy, PA.“Radius arms or 4-links are basically just the way the front diff or rear diff is held into the vehicle,”explains Naugle.
THE ULTIMATE AMERICAN ROAD TRIP: LINCOLN HIGHWAY Welcome back, friends! We hope you enjoyed your extended pit stop in the riveting town of Lowden, Iowa–home of prairie flowers and rural peace.But it’s time to make like Kerouac and hit the open road again on our great American road trip. THE BEST NEW DIESEL TRUCKS MONEY CAN BUY The newest Power Stroke that stokes the F-150, specifically, is a 3.0 liter V-6, making 250 horsepower and 440 lb-ft of torque. Initially developed in a partnership with PSA Peugeot Citroen, it came to be known as the “Lion Engine,” and is used in some Land Rover models. CAMPER VAN BUILDS TO MAKE YOU WANNA HIT THE ROAD The prom queen of camper van builds, the Mercedes Sprinter takes the crown among many vanlifers as the most adaptable to conversion efforts. This 1999 model began as a courier van, then a gardener’s work vehicle, until it was eventually picked up by quirky English campers David and Lindsay. Sporting a king size bed, cab bunk, andhanging crib
TECH CORNER: TOP FIVE 5.9 CUMMINS MODS AND WHY THEY WORK Hence why swapping the intake and exhaust manifolds is next on our list of worthy 5.9 Cummins mods. This upgrade, paired with a better fuel system will be key to supporting big power builds. aFe Power, ATS, and BD Diesel Performance are just a few great names to turn to for durable diesel intake and exhaust manifolds. TECH CORNER: FABRICATING YOUR OWN EXHAUST BATTLE OF THE LIFTERS: FLAT TAPPET VS ROLLER, SOLID VS With solid lifters, valve lash will need to be set and adjusted from time to time. (Valve lash is the clearance between the rocker arm and the tip of the valvestem.) This is a crucial setting, as it will determine the performance and lifespan of the valvetrain and will keep valve duration and lift on key with the cam’s specs. JEEP LS SWAP: WRANGLING MORE POWER WITH A V8 Frankly, this is extremely surprising considering how popular V8 swaps are for JK and JL Wranglers. Just turn to this past SEMA show, where Maximum Elevation, Freedom Fabworks, and Bruiser Conversions all showed off some impressive V8 Jeep builds. Though, you’ll notice that there is a disturbing lack of Chrysler power under the hood. THE DEBATE RAGES ON: AIR LOCKERS OR E Often, e-lockers are used as factory equipment on many vehicles. (Toyota, Ford, GM, and Chrysler all sell models that come stock with this style of locking differential.) In the debate of air lockers or e-lockers, this tends to add fuel to fire. It gives the sense that because manufacturers rely on e-lockers, so should the aftermarket. 4-LINKS OR RADIUS ARMS: WHAT'S BETTER? 4-Links. A 4-link setup on the other hand, attaches to an axle at two separate points and then to the chassis. The bottom two links locate the axle for back and forth movement, while the upper two links keep the axle from rotating freely. But there are two different styles of BREAKING DOWN CARBURETED LS VS EFI The 1,100- to 1,300-cfm dual carbs are good only over a narrow range, about 1,500 rpm at most. EFI performs well over 2,000 rpm or more. On average, if optimized, both systems perform about the same as far as how fast you get down the track. However, the EFI system is much easier to tune than a FORD FX4 OFF-ROAD PACKAGE: IS IT WORTH IT? Since the F-150 is bulkier than the Ranger, and therefore a little less nimble off-road, its FX4 package isn’t quite as robust. Additionally, it cannot be paired with the 3.3L Ti-VCT engine option. That said, those who opt for the upgrade gain the expected electronic-locking rear diff, Hill Descent Control, and Rancho shocks,plus skid plates

Having axles on hand, before building the frame, can save time by helping you decide the width of the trailer up front.

CAN I TOW THAT? CALCULATING YOUR VEHICLE’S TOWING CAPACITY Something many hopeful towers often don’t consider is the role that road quality, elevation changes, and weather can play on towing capacity. “Gas motors lose power as elevation rises,” says Camper Report. “According to the 2016 Ford towing guide, gas engines lose 3-4% of their power for every 1,000 feet above sea level.
