    Transfer Case Issues

    I had my first opportunity to get my deuce in the mud. My friend got stuck and I went to pull him out. At first it seemed like the front axle was engaging and then my buddy said it was not. After I returned home I looked up and read a lot of threads on sprag transfer cases. I tried to adjust...

    I live in North Fort Worth and just had my M35A2 registered. I had to get a weight ticket so I purchased a temporary tag. I went to state farm insurance and they hooked me up with no problems. Went to the DMV and had to explain exactly what it was and got it done. I registered as antique due to...

    6v92ta with 13 spd engine swap

    You can tell it's a 6v-92 due to the large snap ring on the water pump cover. The 71 series has bolts that hold it on and the 53 series is not even close.

    Here are some pictures if they help. You need a 1/4 npt and a 1/8 npt plug. Watch the you tube vid, search by pass FDC and you will find it.

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Well my Deuce seemed sluggish. I changed fuel filters and there was a small improvement so I researched turning up the fuel. I read about how by passing the FDC would make a difference so I tried it. Easy enough to change back if it did not work. Wow it helped significantly. I now have some...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    That's the one. It's an early truck, the front diff is always in and the transfer has just high and low. It's a 1962 Studabaker. John was a pleasure to deal with and made my first experience buying a deuce a good one.

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    I spent the day removing a bunch of wires not needed. I started changing windshield frames, the old ones were rusted out. I worked on the horn and the air switch is bad. Ordered a new one. Fixed the left turn signal. The isolator was broken in the center and shorted out.
