New Inverter Delivers 75 Watts From Vehicle Lighter
Socket
Portable electronic equipment, such as computers and cellular
phones, often have limited battery capacity. This im-poses time
constraints on using these devices while away from home. A compact
new inverter offers convenient AC electricity for situations that
require more power.
The NOTEpower 75 inverter form Statpower delivers 75 watts of
AC power from any 12 volt battery source, including a vehicle
or boat cigarette lighter socket. It is a convenient way to operate
or recharge notebook computers, camcorders, cellular phones or
small TVs.
The inverter yields a 90% conversion efficiency rate, so almost
all battery power is converted to useful AC power. Built-in safety
features are designed to shut down the inverter if the unit overheats
or overloads. It measures 5" long x 3" wide x 1"
high and weighs less than a pound. Suggested retail is $79 U.S.
and $99 Canadian.

GM 4L80E Upgrade from TransGo
TransGo, the only manufacturer of performance shift kits for today's
electronically controlled transmissions, can greatly improve the
shifting of the 4L80E transmission found in gas and diesel powered
Subur-ban and Chevy/GMC trucks.
The TransGo 4L80E Performance Shift Kit contains a boost pressure
valve that prevents case, drum and piston breakage caused by high
line pressure. It also reduces direct clutch failure caused by
worn center support lugs. If you're towing or carrying heavy loads,
this kit is a must for transmission dependability. The kit can
be installed with normal hand tools without removing the transmission,
and comes with a step-by-step color installation video.

SD Air Springs for '94 - '96 Dodge
Air Lift announces the availability of its "SD" series
air springs to fit the highly popular '94 - '96 Dodge Ram line
of full-sized pickups. The new Dodge Ram SD system, p/n 57227,
offers owners of these trucks unmatch-ed load-leveling capacity
(up to 5,000 lbs.).
The heart of the Air Lift SD-series air springs are a pair of
bellows, constructed of heavy-duty, 2-ply neoprene. Owners hauling
heavy loads, carrying slide-in truck campers or heavy towing will
maintain a level vehicle attitude, by adjusting the air pressure
(between 5 and 100 psi) in the air springs. A level vehicle attitude
provides improved ride and handling qualities, with less sway.
Additionally, air springs enhance braking effectiveness by retaining
the proper front-rear weight balance, which may also extend tire
life.

MI 48908. Phone 800-248-0892, fax 517-322-0240
