That looks pretty awesome with those tires on there!

Not the same truck, but here is a pic of a 10-ton next to a deuce for a size comparison.

I've got those as well, I like them. I second the problem with them falling down driving down the road, but the difference between them and the stock wipers as far as wiping ability is well worth it.

Oh well. I'll still go and look at it and see what's up. If it is in fact a 5-tonner, who wants one?

Well, crap. I guess I'll still go look at it and see what shape it's in. If indeed it is a 5 ton trans, would it be usable in a deuce?

I do know the petcock on top turns counterclockwise to bleed the air out of the heater core. The screws are the same all the way around the box, you could take one out and go to a hardware store and pick up some replacements.

It will be interesting to see the results of the "autopsy"!

I agree with Santa, most all large trucks (that I've been around anyway) still run drum brakes. More surface area per brake than a disc, unless those are some huge calipers. One thing I still don't understand, is why everyone is always saying the deuce brakes are so bad? Mine are good enough...

searching for the number in the second pic, with out the "k" in front, came back with this page. 2520-00-627-5978, 2333T2, 30-16-36, 7529023, 7859X, 914147 Looks like you were correct Doghead, that is the top cover. I am assuming that it was universal between the 2.5 and 5-ton transmissions?

That was my thought also. I'm going to look at mine tomorrow when it is more light and less cold outside and see if they are the same. EDIT: here is a link I found on Google searching the number in the first pic. http://www.dtic.mil/cgi-bin/GetTRDoc?AD=AD770501&Location=U2&doc=GetTRDoc.pdf

I'm looking at buying a trans from a guy that says it is from a 2.5 ton. He says that there is a spec of a tag on it, but it doesn't have any numbers on it. All he can give me is casting numbers, and I was wondering if someone can tell me if it is a deuce trans from those? Here are a couple of...

Cool video! You've got more smoke than I do. :-D

I would think that the car wash idea would possibly cause rust issues. Brake cleaner does a great job of removing oil, I would just stick with that.

230? Wow, not as bad as I thought. The transfer might be a pain though.. lol

Anybody know the weight of a tranny and transfer case? I may be going to buy one tomorrow, and would be nice to know how many people I need to take with me. lol

I was going to suggest that very thing..

Wow. Those tail lights make a huge difference...

That's an awesome looking truck! Great ideas on your mods!

Hey, at least he was good enough to call and let you know what he did, and send you pics instead of trying to pass it off on somebody else.

Cool project, sent you a pm.
