Permanent Locking PowerIf you have a full-time four-wheel-drive rig and want total locking security, check out the new Perm-Lok from 4x4 Posi-Lok for your Dodge or Jeep vehicle. The Perm-Lok permanently engages the central axle disconnect (CAD) system and couples both front axles permanently. Once installed, the front axles will not pull until the transfer case is in engaged. The #1100 kit includes a new cast-aluminum housing with gasket kit and a new machined inner pushrod to lock the central axle disconnect in an engaged position.

Biodegradable Oxide RemoverIn the past, cleaning and restoring oxidized aluminum required use of a media blaster, grinder, or other destructive tool that could damage a valuable or irreplaceable alloy part. Now you can make oxidized aluminum shine like new with Alumina, the latest innovation from the cleaning experts at Orison Marketing. Alumina is an aluminum oxide remover and cleaning agent that contains no fluorides, acids, caustics, or solvents.

Competition CompromisesIn competition, a fraction of a second means the difference between a podium finish and a lonely walk through the pits. The carburetion experts at Quick Fuel Technology have released their new throttle shaft conversion kit. The kit includes Teflon-coated throttle shafts, Teflon bearing ribbons, and three different linkage rods that control when the secondary venturis open. The result is reduced throttle effort, easier pedal modulation, and smoother acceleration. The Teflon bearings are a benefit in high-dirt environments since the Teflon acts as a sacrificial wear component and preserves hard parts over time.
