Axles

The obvious choice for us are the DANA 60 and DANA 44 type from Currie Enterprises: these new axles are the standard of reference in the axles’ market for both their sturdiness and their reliability.

TRANSFER CASE

For the VIGILANTE line, we chose to maintain the four-wheel-drive mode of operation. That’s why, to best distribute the high power of the HEMI engine, we selected an Advance Adapters Atlas-II type of reinforced transfer case.

A/C Controller Calibration

A person holding a coffee mug and using a laptop in a cozy indoor setting.

When installing the senesors to retrofit this AC system using the original controls, we calibrate the “throw” of 3 control panel sensors so the system knows the upper limit and lower limits of the original switches. If you experience odd behavior from the A/C unit. Where the function is reversed, you will want to recalibrate the unit.

The Calibration function is controlled with a magnetic sensor located in the middle left wall of the glove box. Using the supplied magnet or a magnet of your own, follow this procedure to calibrate your AC controls
