For vehicles that are driven daily, the PowerTrax ® No-Slip Traction System is the latest design in quiet, traction-adding differential technology. It combines the automatic, street-friendly, smooth operation of a limited-slip differential with the traction performance of a locking differential. The No-Slip Traction System features a patented, precise synchronization mechanism that eliminates the ratcheting sounds that are typical of other automatic locking differentials. Special gear and spring designs reduce the backlash, and therefore driveline windup. The heavy-duty construction is crafted using only 9310 ultra-strength material, which is stronger than titanium. The installation is easy because no ring and pinion set-up is required, and no special tools or oils are needed. Step-by-step instructions are included with every kit, making installation even more simple.

Features:

  • Application specific design available for 2WD/4WD vehicles
  • Gives 2WD vehicles the traction power of a 4×4
  • Delivers ultimate traction & smooth, quiet operation
  • Precision synchronization control makes friction clutches obsolete
  • State-of-the-art engineering & design for maximum power transfer
  • Space-age Zytanium® construction for highest strength & durability
  • Installs inside open, limited-slip & locking differential cases
  • 2-year or 1,000-mile warranty

This 2” Drop Spindle Set by Belltech is specifically designed for any 2015-2020 Ford F-150 two-wheel drive truck. This Drop Spindle Set improves handling while maintaining factory ride quality. By relocating the spindle pin (or hub) higher on the spindle casting, Belltech engineers can provide a 2” drop without negatively impacting the front-end suspension or the steering geometry… even the shock absorber remains unharmed! Because these spindles maintain critical suspension geometry, they also eliminate excessive ball joint, shock, and tire wear that is common to other methods of lowering. Each spindle is crafted from powder-coated, CNC-machined, high-strength, ductile-iron castings to provide structural integrity that meets and exceeds all factory specifications and requirements.

Features:

  • For `15-`20 Ford F-150 2WD trucks

Flex-A-Lite (316300): Direct-Fit Extruded Tube Core Radiator for `67-`79 Ford Trucks

David Ayers Leave a comment
Use This Post Clip for Email

The Flex-A-Lite Direct-Fit Extruded Tube Core Radiator is the future of performance radiators, replacing multi-core radiators with a new advanced design. It increases the contact area between the coolant and the aluminum tubes, increasing heat rejection and cooling efficiency. This radiator has a flat surface to braze cooling fins, which also maximizes the contact between the tubes and the fins — once again increasing heat rejection and efficient cooling. The cooling fins have been designed with louver patterns cut into them to direct airflow; Just like most features of this cutting-edge radiator, this also improves heat rejection and cooling. Wind-tunnel testing has proven that the Extruded Tube Core technology is significantly more efficient at cooling than standard tube radiators. They are also significantly stronger, with a 100-psi burst rating. This radiator also features a corner subhead, reinforcing the cooling tube to header connection because that area is prone to cracking and leaking in other aluminum-radiator brands. No cutting or drilling is required for installation, and this radiator mounts in the factory location using the original fastener points on the core support. For a stronger radiator that is built-to-last and outperforms other radiators, this radiator boasts an aluminum construction for a stronger, more durable design with light weight proficiency.

Features:

  • For `67-`79 Ford trucks: F-100, F-150, F-250, & F350
  • Direct fit in the factory location
  • Lightweight aluminum construction
  • Strong 100 psi burst rating
  • Superior heat rejection & cooling
  • Extruded Tube Core Technology
  • More contact between coolant & tubes
  • Louver patterns cut into cooling fins
  • Flat surface to braze cooling fins
  • Corner subhead aids cooling tube to header connection
  • Passenger-side inlet side
  • Installation requires no cutting or drilling
  • Uses original fastener points on core support
  • Exclusive transferable 2-year warranty
