Great looking job there Ernie! Thanks for sharing. As somebody else who has done the regear and locker bit... I'll toss in that Charles Talbert at M-Series Rebuild does a great job at setting them up as well as Bob Stahl (whom you mentioned). Charles is a couple hours southwest of me in...

Putting the bearings on the top as well as the bottom is a good thing to do. Eeasier steering and less wear on the components in general. Well worth the effort, especially if you are already tearing down the front axle... Detailed info on knuckle rebuilding including the conversion to a top...

To quote one of the technical papers I have here at work (from one of the lubrication suppliers...): "The Allison C-3 Specification was developed in 1977 to replace the C-2 Specification because available fluids did not provide adequate friction retention with graphitic clutch plates commonly...

Re: RE: VA 5 ton You have to look at closed auctions now... It no longer is live.

The photo that I wish I had taken... My M37 parked between the GOER and one of the M123's where I left it while riding up to get the M817... I don't think that any of Brandon's neighbors ever knew that I had parked my little truck in his yard...

And another one since the cat adds a certain scale for those who aren't sure how big the M816 is...

A couple from my collection...

A couple more of Brandon's so you can get a better idea of the scale...

Gee thanks.... Just make my day... :(

RE: lube trailer in SC on GSA auction The Mack is a civilian model. I hate when folks post about GSA auctions that are going on... I think I just saw the price on a couple things that I was going to bid on go up...

BigwheelBob had no problems with the flex on his bob'ed duece last year in the Uwharrie during a trail ride the the full size Jeep crowd hosted (M715Zone). He had some problems with his Sprage not wanting to engage, but that's a different matter... The shots I took durring the trip really...

There is a M36 near me that is just sitting in a field... Guy that purchased it has plans for the axles, but not for the rest of the truck. I've pulled a bunch of parts (mostly engine related) off of it, but the bed is just sitting there... Want me to call him and have him paint your name on...

If you do hit them with a pressure washer, use one with a lower pressure rating or stand a bit further back... You can damage the sidewall with excessive force from a pressure washer that may not be obvious till you have been on the road for a while... There is a warning about this both in...

For the price of a new u-joint, I'd go with the replacement even if the old one came apart nice and easy and everything looked good... However, especially if this shaft can be disengaged so that it is not rotating all the time, if everything looked great, you could reasemble the unit and keep on...

I'll chime in and add that I've purchased from Pvt Jarhead as well and have been pleased with each transaction (mulitple PRC77's...). I bounce between using a headset with a boom mike (noise canceling) and the handset. Depends on if I am mobile at the time or just sitting in a parking lot...

Download the Spicer catalog from thier website and go looking for a part number... They have the entire product line listed by dimension and type... Once you have the number, a new u-joint is just a phone call away from any shop that handles Spicer parts (or cross references to whatever they...

I've got photos of Brandon's GOER on my home computer... I'll post them tonight when I get home from work...

Nothing like having the guy who does this kind of thing for a living have a go at it... :) Glad to hear that it is appart... Now, go find something else on the truck to wrench upon... :) (Meanwhile, I am headed out to work on the M817's exhaust...).

Re: RE: Colors? Most of the trucks that I have seen locally (NC) that have been over to the "big sandbox" have come back with a green interior even though the exterior was solid tan (sand) or desert camo... Most of them have been solid sand exterior with 383 green interior and have had hard...

Re: RE: wrecker I was impressed by how much room was left over in my yard when I got the tipper down the driveway (easier to navigate than with my duece, love that power steering)... Purchase them both Frank, tell your bride that they are both mine, and when I pick up one, just tell her...
