Ok here is a quick fix, I had to do this to mine.... take an old bicycle tire tube or any tire tube cut out a piece to fit the top, poke a hole in it so the bolt will go thru this with the copper washer and you should be leak free. The piece of rubber should over lap the outside of the...

The 5 ton fits side to side pretty close compared to the cover that originally came off my truck(going down the road at 50 mph) my old cover was pretty beat.

I put a 5 ton cover on my deuce, It works well, you just need to put approx 2 feet more towards the front. I picked it up on ebay for $300 new in crate with bows and end covers. Just check out ebay, once in a while there on there. I personaly think $1350 is steep.

I could not find the bearings anyway, I went to a couple of large truck parts places and they said they had to order them.....I guess I will just wait and get them from boyce too. I do have a new question: How do you get the inner seal off? I'm a little green on this so I figured i would...

I am gettting ready to do the front axle wheel bearings and seals, I found bt searching the messages that I can use TIMKEN 392 inner bearing and TIMKEN 3994 outer bearing does anyone know what the seal numbers are? I know its kinda late so I will check back in the morning to see if anyone might...

Maybe drainage?

I like the exhaust brake idea, but more than likely I will not have enough time to gather the parts & install. Thanks for the mountain info on the way these beasts run.

I have a Question about going down hill on mountains, I have driven 18 wheelers and know how it feels to go over the top and being in a few gears lower while gently pressing the brakes to maintain a slow but steady descend. How does the m35 react going down mountains? does the engine hold her...

We are getting hammered right now with the down pours lightning and of course THUNDER.

I take it that the lift requires 6" slab right? if so here is an idea when you get the lift or before if you can get the measurements where the posts will be square out and chislediamond saw the floor, over dig the dirt underneth make sure you remove dirt a few inches off the sides under the...

My driveway is maybe 3 inches at best and I have been driving on itparking on it for a couple of months with no cracks. I would imagine if your dirtstone was compacted you shouln't have a problem

I hear ya Kenny, I once lived in the panhandle about 10 years ago in Mariana Fla in Jackson county. I remember rain everyday at around 1 or 2 in the afternoon and the humidity.....I dont miss that and I dont miss the fire ants either :yeah: Kenny, Did you get the envelope I sent?

Ok guys, I'll let you know what happens when I get a little time to work on her( more than likley this weekend) going to work really cuts down on my quality time with my truck :smile: not to mention the weather here went from nice 65-70 deg to well into the 90's. My job has me outside all day...

I forgot to mention something you will think is funny.......when I hooked up the wire I wanted to see if the pump worked or not before I installed it. I needed to groung the unit since it was a one wire pump, when I rubbed it on the frame I had a nice jolt of electric through my hand. I...

Well I got my external fuel pump from SS and installed it today, I did notice better starting(the old one never worked since I've had the truck) and it seems to run smoother down the road. I haven't run it to much today because I was working out another glitch with the brakes:banghead: . So...
