Thanks guys I was just curious, and no this post was definitely not intended to be any sort of advertisement. I run this stuff in a few of my old tractor transmissions and it's really taken some of the rattley noises away. I recently serviced my transmission and T case and read that GL-5 gear...

Hey everyone, I'm going to bring up some old topics that may irritate a few people but curiosity is getting the best of me. I have read all the forms on how 80w-90 GL-5 is bad to run UNLESS it's marked MT-1. Others argue that MT-1 is high in sulfur and will destroy the "yellow metal" parts. I am...

Thanks buddy! What I finally ended up doing was digging around in an old bucket of bolts I got and found that a 14mm bolt head fits perfectly in the plug. I guess I got one of the "English" type transmissions that takes the Hex head. Anyway I put two nuts on the bolt and tightened them against...

Hopefully I figure out most of my issue, I drained and re filled my trans with fresh oil and I was two quarters low and the crap that came out of it was blacker then the motor oil out of my ol 12 valve cummins. It also had a slight milky color so I'm assuming it got some water in it some how...

Hey everyone so I finally got my rig out for the first time this year, been working on restoration and much needed maintenance over the last 8 months from when I purchased it. I recently had to replace the transmission tower because the linkage on my old one broke causing the truck to get stuck...

Yeah, that's what people told me it was on Facebook, they just didn't tell me what could be wrong. I'll see about replacing it and hope that takes care of the issue

Hey everyone, I have found one of my air leaks under the dash. It is coming out of this component on the driver side way up on the fire wall. I thought a screw was missing where the red arrow is pointing but after posting on Facebook and getting a few responses people said that there is no screw...

Thanks for the info everyone, unfortunately every tire is dry rotted like that. I'll have to see what I can find

Hey everyone, first post here. I just purchased a new to me deuce and a half with super singles. I have searched the web and can't find where to purchase a spare wheel and tire. I could be wrong but I believe these are not your standard deuce wheels? Im also wondering if this dry rot along the...
