    Oil & lubrication

    Multi grade oil has additives that make the viscosity thicker as the temperature warms up, not thinner. as it cools down, it becomes thinner. Thats why its actually better for climates that have extreme temperature swings. In the old days, we had to change the oil and viscosity each season.

    Spicer 6453 to 12 valve?

    there must be a reason that nobody seems to have done it. Have you checked the input shaft on both transmissions? maybe one is shorter or the pilot is different. That would be a good place for You to start.

    New rust repair project

    A harbor freight sand blaster will be a good investment for that. its all about exposing it, cut, grind and weld in angle iron.

    M35A2 engine flush

    when ever I do a engine oil flush, I use 5/1 Oil to ATF. usually to free up hydraulic lifters that get sticky. But we dont have them.

    M35A2 C-Turbo

    I have a D turbo on my 1987 air force deuce. People have commented on the whistle it makes. Its not as loud as the C turbo posted, but there still is a whistle. Some commercial trucks have a slight whistle too. I would bet it has something to do with the length of the exhaust as far as volume goes.

    jumping out of fifth gear

    Money is short everywhere now. Prices on building materials have increased 200% in the last 6 months, so I imagine other things like parts and food are also increasing. Going slow is still moving forward. Keep it up.

    jumping out of fifth gear

    Thats odd........everyone seems to be getting their Military vehicles serviced and running all of a sudden. People are posting about bug out vehicles etc...I live remote, and no TV....Am I missing something other than a large rifle primer shortage?

    Lock out hub damage - opinions

    Possibly the spindle nut and lock tab backed off allowing the axle to move outbound? You'll never know until you take a peek.

    Which military truck is the most capable? Good survival vehicle?

    JD 4020 should fit. Local farm supply.

    Which military truck is the most capable? Good survival vehicle?

    Hahahaha...your (mine too) 5mpg Deuce will run out of gas long before a 15mpg toyota will. Short wheel base, big tires, winch, and good gas milage is all you need for a bugout vehicle. But as I learned decades ago in a far away place....Be there to get there.....because traveling through...

    MF in-tank pump for gasoline?

    prime it until the carb is full, then its primed. Carbs dont like high pressure fuel. you may force gas past the float/s and into the intake. But I guess since most trucks have a fire extinguisher, you'll be fine.

    MF in-tank pump for gasoline?

    Either I, or both of you miss read his question. He has a Gasser Truck, with a Gas engine, and wants to use a Deuce internal tank Fuel Pump to prime/run the Carburated Gas engine, instead of the mechanical Gas engine fuel pump mounted on the block, or as a booster to it.

    MF in-tank pump for gasoline?

    He doesn't have a multi fuel engine. He has a gasoline, carb engine. "gasser motor".

    MF in-tank pump for gasoline?

    Probably produce too high of fuel pressure for a carburetor. A fuel regulator cost more than a in line electric fuel pump for gas. Summit Racing on line had both 12 and 24vdc pumps last year for about 45$. Old carbs prefer around 3-4 psi. even the new demon carbs are under 8psi.
