Anyone find additional information on these? Looks like a viable option for a camper conversion... Pointman

A friend with the Wellington, Nevada EMS Volunteers sent this to me earlier this week. I drive an M1078, so not truly familiar with older MV's. The story was this... Some folks returning from Burning Man in a 5-Ton, detoured over a local pass to avoid Hwy 395 which was closed due to a wild...

Cost? Cost of the project... The gears were worth every penny. Time? Several days, including the stuff I had to do over. It'll go faster next time and I hope there is not a next time... Parts? I'd guess a couple of hundred in seals and cleaning supplies, RTV, etc. Pointman

Our SD here also has a Caiman. Supposedly for SWAT, but mostly seen in parades. (In county of 50,000 people). Guess they couldn't resist the temptation of getting a large MV to replace the aging Bradley they had. My NAPA guy says they are in there all the time looking for parts. "Never...

Meritor makes a -'S' part that is only $41.00. The last time I ordered they were out of stock and the regular number is around $50.00 Pointman

It is in the TM's under the -24 section. Look for the Brake repair chapter, and have a magnifying glass handy.. seriously. I printed it out, but it would be worthless to scan a copy to you. I looked this up to make sure I had my lines for the front brake actuators going to the right...

Agree with Floridianson. This is where I got mine as well. I bought 4 sets before my gear project as I suspected I would be doing the rears before too long. I needed to add .20+-, to my fronts to tighten them up. Now, tight and quiet! Pointman

AECOM? I have AECOM tin stickers on both my axle housings from depot work done at FT. Polk, LA... Pointman

Epilog, Monday Sept 3, 2018 Although some trees here in Northwestern Nevada have begun turning, today was hot. After consistent highs of high 80's, low 90's all last month, I filled the front diff, got the wheels on and the beast off the jacks early this morning. By afternoon things had cooled...

Thanks CoachGeo. I reattached them and they should all be good now, thanks. Pointman

The Home Stretch. Although I have enjoyed this project somewhat, its time to get back on the road. This would end up being a fairly productive day and always begins with this.. Starting with the spindles having been installed the next steps are hubs and shimming! Again after a first...

My setup uses a Sony unit that is ceiling mounted and set up to pull music from my iPhone via Bluetooth. Speakers are Pyle, in round abs housings that are ceiling mounted. Plenty of power and nice to have tunes on board. Pointman

Eureka! Swami magic works!! Feeling kinda dumb, but relieved the project is now again moving forward. After taking the previous evening off to rest my brain, I found the problem this afternoon. It involves the 'double' seal that is the A-1205-D-2344. I recall reading that this is actually a...

Thank you to everyone who provided ideas on how to reassemble the front universal joints and spindle. I tried a method sent to me by Steve6x6x6 as he has just put a new axle back together. This involved using guide bolts as noted in the TM, but tapping the edge of the spindle with a 15# hammer...

Well... Last evenings attempt at inserting the front half shafts into the axle housing did not go well. It appears that the half shafts are not fully inserted in the axle housing, which makes it impossible to install the spindles in the knuckles. At this point I am looking for ideas on how to...

As I am now getting close to installing the spindles and then hubs, I decided to take one last close look at everything before the major load bearing bits go back together. That is when I found this.. A very close look revealed one of the inner bearing rollers had severe pitting. I then...

As I suspected... Thanks to Steve6x6x6 for clearing this up for me. Figure 132 of the TM is ambiguous in regards to the Stub Axle Seal that faces the brake backing plate. Steve confirmed that it is the same as the seal in the end of the axle #1205-D-2344. The newer one ends in an S and I...

This measures 4.25" across, if that helps.. Pointman

Spindle seal help! In putting everything back together, I am at the point where the front half shafts are installed and I am ready to install the spindles and the brake backing plates. I recall when I pulled the spindles there was a seal on the back that faced the brake backing plate. In...
