EMS/Dynatrac kit

Has anyone up here installed one? If so, how was your experience?

Going through front axle u-joints ... again ... this last one has wrecked the stub axle, I think I like the manual hub idea. Plus it is supposed to increased fuel economy notably. Sounds solid to me.

Shipping? I'm afraid to end up spending another 50% of the kit price on just getting the thing here. Would anyone be interested in a group buy/shipment of some kind?

Dodger Bomber has that on his truck, think its a Dyna Trac, could be EMS though. Either way, send him a PM, he could probably fill you in on it.

There is a few people running the EMS kit. Do a search and it will yield some good results.

Did you have any issues with it, the install, quality? It seems like a pretty decent kit, so I can't imagine a whole tonne.

How did you get it to Alberta, and how much did shipping cost?

Thanks!

I have the entire dynatrac kit with a detroit in the front. the whole setup took me 5 hours everything went together perfect and the machine work was very good quality I am averaging about 1.6 mpg increase over the stock setup and the truck is quiter with less road noise from all the rotating parts all of the time. I don't know about the ems kit but the dyna kit uses superior axle shafts inside and out Timken bearings and spicer joints.

So ya, i was out workin on the old dodge today and was lookin closer at WHY the heck my hubs were so loose. Well it came down to a phone call and we got it all figured out. One little snap ring later and im back in bussiness. So now everything looks way better and im not worried about it any more. A big thanks goes to Eric at EMS for the help.

I would love to see one of these kits as well, just for the fuel savings I think it would be worth it. I have been thinking about the dynatrac though because I heard they have a new shorty hub out now.
