    Rear main seal?

    If you overfilled the engine it will leak, too.

    M35 dogbone bushing options

    Yes, and to avoid that we'd need a "Davy" joint...;-)

    M35 dogbone bushing options

    It should be doable and I think it's a good idea - to at least give it a try. But first you will have to machine what you call "ball" to actually become one; that is, having a perfectly spherical shape.

    M35 dogbone bushing options

    I'm afraid that PU bushings cannot be glued or "hot-vulcanized" and then have it stick to steel like rubber does. And that regular PU as used in suspension bushings is not resilient enough in this case, for the joint to be able to twist enough when the suspension is articulating up to its...

    Deuce Dump Truck Conversion

    Well, here are my arguments: First of all, welds on the frame should be avoided. Not only because the frame does flex. I would never rely on anything only welded there, even if it was the best welder who did it! 2nd, if all you want to pull with it is a 3/4-ton trailer, your setup should hold...

    Deuce Dump Truck Conversion

    o_O...... So no strut bars - and them bolted (not welded!) to the frame? That looks dangerous to me, as it is....

    Front Axle swap (Claw and Ball to UJoint)

    The retainers are different. Read this post, even if the real issue there was something else.

    You prob meant to say driveshafts (or better propeller shafts)...?

    Official 2020 Georgia Military Vehicle Rally (20GMVR) information thread

    Ha-ha... yes, just let me find out if they allow shipping of a 220 # live (animal), and what it would cost... BTW, cargo air planes like A753AN are flying directly, every 2 days - but that doesn't help much.

    Official 2020 Georgia Military Vehicle Rally (20GMVR) information thread

    Probably yes, but not this year... What used to be a 9h direct flight MVD - MIA is now a 26h journey, and I'm not up to wearing a stupid face mask, all that time and everywhere......😷

    Tyre replacement with runflat

    In this case it seems to be the earlier style two-piece rubber runflat. The separate band portion should have an arrow that indicates which side faces the tire bead.

    has anyone taken injectors apart on this forum?

    Not a problem to do so. I know you are referring to this discussion from two years ago, at the Dieselplace. Specifically posts #17 to #23 get to show that there is no Bible with a straight answer to this.... Read...

    Armadillo Palace: yes, Tinwoodsman and me. We shared that one, for many years. (https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/official-2016-georgia-rally-multimedia-gmvr16-thread.159708/post-1968681) It's the one closest to the bike shop, so eventually a bit louder than the other cabins. (... and...

    M35a2 automatic transmission swap?

    That has been studied already and is not so easy... At the very least you would need a new T25 gear, fitted to the output shaft.
