Staged, waiting for a response from SHELL USA in Alaska on a lease agreement for spill response on the North Slope in Barrow or Wainwright. I receive a positive response from a Mr. Howard Hill at Shell in Anchorage, so hopefully they will get back to me this summer.

So probably NO FIX.

Or are there spring upgrades that will ensure that when my rear wheels slip that the front axles get engaged?

I have a bobbed 5 ton that does not engage the front axle in forward gear. So, is there a way to permanently lock it up for permanent 4X4? This truck will only be an off-road vehicle up here in the Arctic, we plan to use it in the oil fields. Is there another T-Case that will work in place of...

Thanks John. So is there a fix, maybe a different transfer case or can I get it locked in permanently? Thanks guys.

Thanks RangerBob. Yes beautiful and deadly and it keeps getting better the farther north you go! It sure is nice to be a member here and to have such a valuable resource and all of you living encyclopedias with thousands of hours of experience to draw upon! It will be a good truck to learn on...

sigo, Brother! Thank you! haha. Yes indeed no place like home! People have no idea how beautiful the place is! I wish that everyone could come up and enjoy Alaska, ALASKA! The fishing on countless creeks and lakes, I am actually kind of glad that I didn't get all of the way to Barrow on the ice...

Same problem here in Alaska. I had to back my truck up Atigun Pass on the Dalton Hwy. north of the Arctic Circle and believe me it was not fun. Several other hills also. We found the valve on the tranny feeding the t-case solenoid, but, nothing we could do to engage the front in forward.

It runs great, but, all of the controls do not work. I had it delivered from Seattle to Anchorage via Alaska Marine Lines and the Alaska West told me that they had to pull it off of the train car and that they had tried to jump it with 12V. Maybe something got burnt in the control box. I just...

I bought the truck with the idea of leasing it to SHELL or CONOCO PHILLIPS as an oil spill response truck and it represents ALL of the money we have in the world so yea, I'm kinda frustrated. I only could afford the **** thing because we got a settlement from my daughters' drowning accident so...

I didn't get many pics with the cell phone. The first one is at Hilltop Sourdough just outside of Fox, AK. I blew the right rear tire 30 miles from there and walked it about a mile up the hill to Wickersham Dome Trailhead. Found a used spare at Giant Tire in Fbks. Phil charged me $400 and they...

It only has about 56 hours now on the reman and I don't remember if it always knocked like that, but, it does knock pretty loud. Power is good and it only smokes when I get into it, so maybe just how it's supposed to sound? I did run it hot that first night between Anchorage and Fairbanks until...

Richard Hutchinson, Barrow Alaska. Just finished bringing this bobbed 5 ton up from Anchorage. Bought it from C&C Equipment. Not what I expected it to be. No four wheel in forward, no heat, the horn didn't work, a fuel line rattled loose between Anchorage and Fairbanks, blew the right rear tire...
