As I am in the crane repair business, I have seen that unless you are a commercial or resale customer MI (or most bearings suppliers) tends to stick it to the retail customer. I ended up y a NOS transfer case for my deuce when I had my issues in TX. but due to shipping costs it would have cost...

I would check and see what they have them for up at the rebuild depot in Utah. I can't recall the name at the moment.

Oddly enough, I checked everything prior to the trip and it all looked better than my 2004 Dodge looks most of the time (just a couple of leaks here and there) greased everything and all the fluids looked pristine. I ran it fairly hard over the Tehachapi pass going up into the high desert and I...

I thought I read somewhere that GL-5 is Mil-L- 2105-D or something like that, man this stuff is confusing, I spoke with someone at Boyce Equipment and I thought he said to use 80/90, when I asked him if it was GL-1 or GL-5 he just kept saying we have been using 80/90 for 50 years...

I guess what I am comparing it to was when we were forced away from leaded fuel to unleaded and the affect it had on our engines due to the loss of the lubricating and other properties of the additive. I know it wreaked havoc on our small engines when I was in the Corps, very similar to the...

For GL-1 head over to tractor supply 17.00 for 2 gallon jug, I am still concerned about using the newer lubes in the older transmissions and transfer cases, as they were designed for the old mineral oils. Any help or black and white research on the subject would be greatly appreciated

I flew out to Sacramento, CA on the 22nd to pick up my first deuce and drive it back to middle Tennessee. I was really surprised at just how well this truck drove, it tracked very well and did not cause much if any driver fatigue. Even though I looked things over pretty well prior to the trip, I...

I had the exact same bearings go out on my recent trip from California to Tennessee with my newly acquired 66' Am-Gen, I luckily stopped mine in Amarillo after feeling a vibration and checking the temperature of the case and drained the oil and found the bearing cage pieces stuck to the magnet...

I am new to the M35a2 scene, I just purchased a 1966 Am-General, when you are referring to the OD transmission are you referring to the 5 speed or is there another transmission with an additional overdrive? I just attempted to drive mine from California to Tennessee, had a transfer case issue...
