Learn everything there is to know about how to install a versatile and capable air ride system! Air suspension used to be expensive, difficult to install, and complex to understand. However, that was years ago. Today, thanks to kits made for virtually every make and model of car and truck, plus the popularization of automatic levelling kits, it's easier than ever to take a vehicle and put it on the ground. With properly installed air ride suspension, you can set the height wherever you like, lay your ride on the asphalt when you want, and even tear through the corners like you're driving a slot car. However, here's the most important part: it's just cool. Having an air-bagged vehicle isn't restricted to one vehicle class or another. While it originally became popular with mini trucks, it soon caught on with street rods, cars, and motorcycles—and even traditional lowriders have embraced the scene. That's because where previous adjustable suspensions had their problems, air ride setups are quite often cleaner and easier to maintain. It all depends on how it's installed and how you manage it. In "How to Install Air Ride Suspension Systems" from SA Design and CarTech, air ride veteran Kevin Whipps walks you through everything you need to know about installing an air suspension onto pretty much anything. After going through the basics of each component, he explains how they all work in harmony in easy-to-understand terms that make it simple for even the mechanically challenged to grasp. By the end of it all, you'll know more about air suspension than you thought was possible and have a clear understanding of what you need to do to bag your ride. This 144-page paperback includes 398 color photos.

Onboard diagnostics (OBD) systems have been an integral part of vehicle design for decades, as OBD-II became mandatory in 1996 for all cars manufactured in the United States. SA Design OBD-I & OBD-II: A Complete Guide to Diagnosis, Repair, & Emissions Compliance is an insider's guide to modern original equipment manufacturer (OEM) diagnostics systems. As a former diagnostics and performance calibration engineer, Greg Banish guides you through critical electronic control unit (ECU) functions that ultimately lead to why the "check engine" light on the dash is lit. Strategies are provided for how to begin looking for a solution when problems are detected. Listing every imaginable repair is impossible, but this book provides a solid foundation from which to work by explaining the ECU's logic in plain English. Practical examples from the author's experience highlight important lessons that will save hours of frustration and confusion. In addition to repair tips, sound advice is given for those looking to modify their vehicles while maintaining the full functionality of the emissions and diagnostics systems. Modern diagnostics systems can be a blessing or a curse, depending on your level of understanding. Whether you want to repair the vehicle yourself, improve performance without compromise to the environment or enforcement agencies, or simply want to possess an understanding of how these systems work while dealing with service professionals, this book is the guide for you.

Learn the step-by-step procedures for tearing down, rebuilding, and improving the most popular Jeep transfer cases by using this comprehensive manual, "Jeep Transfer Cases: How to Rebuild," written with the do-it-yourselfer in mind. The transfer case is arguably the heart of any Jeep. It's the key component that splits power to the front and rear axles and ultimately provides the traction that has allowed Jeep to maintain its legendary off-road status for nearly 80 years. Jeep used several different transfer cases in its various vehicle models, many of which have an excellent reputation and remain sought after today. But even the best mechanical components can wear over time and need periodic service to ensure decades of reliable service. While transfer cases may seem complicated on the surface, they can be successfully rebuilt by a competent weekend mechanic with surprisingly few specialized tools. "Jeep Transfer Cases: How to Rebuild" covers rebuilding the most popular and widely used transfer cases found in dozens of Jeep models for decades, including the Dana 18, Dana 20, Dana 300, and the NP231. The entire rebuild process is shown from beginning to end while providing valuable pointers, complete specifications, and a list of the specialized tools that are required. Also included are tips for upgrading these cases for better strength and off-road performance, including deeper low-range gearsets, slip-yoke eliminator (SYE) kits, and much more. Author Trenton McGee has written hundreds of technical articles on virtually every component on 4x4 vehicles for off-road magazines. McGee takes a layman's approach to tackling complex tasks while avoiding complex technical jargon. This book will help you better understand your transfer case and determine if rebuilding your transfer case is for you or your local 4x4 repair shop
