We ran a Cummins on our 'mix' but it was very much slower than already slow!. And it was fitted with a 6 speed gearbox.

Bit silent on this...So, I would recommend that you join a local enthusiasts club and they surely will arrange to inspect and apply a current (typical) market value to it for you.

Welcome to the site, hobby, friendships, And now you have a 'tough' looking truck, (good acquisition)..Future Events to come, and so...enjoy. And I do sort'a like the look of your domain...

Does not look like it. But it does look like a 'tough' trailer.

Welcome to the hobby, and site. Those would be an interesting acquisition for you to start and get into the hobby with. Somewhat unusual as well.

THAT...is one 'mammoth' trip...And here's me blinking at 150 mile trips..but..that comes with (the lack of confidence in) old(er) age. Your truck looks a real deal...very impressive..and it sure looks like it would easily take you to the end of the world. (pun). Good luck on your journey and...

Nice unit, and very useful. Good purchase. (Now..'drive' it..*home*!)

LO 9-2320-209-12 states the requirement for the (TRANSMISSION(which is the gearbox)) (And which is NOT the Axles) is G.O. That's it. One oil for all. And that oil (G.O.) Is (as I use, OEP 220) And U.S. Military use 90 weight oil (and to clarify for you see below. AND do some research (google)...

IHe basically was on his knees, picked the wheel up and put in on axle and balanced it on his thighs. BOOM, it went right on. I tried it and it works great. do not understand this one..So what if you are not a weight lifter? and, When Kneeling,(impossible contortion) You can not place a...

I have used oep220 military oil in gearbox transfer case and rear axles. For ever, No problems at all. However, ALL (the, and any) running components are treated with 'molyslip'.

When I worked for the forces, I saw (and heard!) at least three tires blow off the rings in a safety inflation cage. Scary. The young personnel fitting then were deaf for an age!. Luckily, nothing more...It was always the wheels from the 40-50 foot fifth wheel trailers that blew as I recall. I...

The quick answer is yes.

As mentioned above. Compression gasses are escaping in to the cooling system. If they get bad enough (and you should already observe) The hoses 'swelling up' when the engine runs. Some "sealers2 purport to 'fix' any leak anywhere. But surely just a stop gap. Let us know when you carry out...

The inner works of automatic transmissions have close tolerances and run hot. A.T.F. is required and used for that purpose. There are no contaminants in it. I have used one quart to a full tank for many years, and all my trucks are coming up to 14 years of heavy use. Many heavy truckers use...

Very welcome to the site..And Pleased you are 'stirred' (motivated) about purchasing a 'deuce'..Especially not a (dest..oops (Bobbed one!)). Post up the pictures of your truck when you obtain it. As said previously, There is plenty of help and encouragement from this site for you.

No car or van I ever owned, (old or new vintage or classic ) does that. ALL my U.S. Army Trucks do it. Humph! (And) The 432 and the jeeps Do not. I was thinking of placing some silica gel crystals in them.

I cut the rod (of the door retainer) and re-weld it to suit not hitting anything. (As 'just adjusting the mirrors(depending on type)) is not a remedy.

Welcome to the site and hobby. Post up some pictures and the progress of your work as it proceeds.

Odd question..The brake lights should only come on when the brake pedal is depressed. Some vehicles have the brake lights illuminate when the handbrake is on. When a black out switch is on, then no 'bright lights' illuminate. Check your switching. If correct, then there is a short to ground in...

You can, Take a spark plug out. Remove the distributor cap and rotor arm. Turn on the ignition, Place the rotor arm in the distributor cap with the brass top contact pressing on the carbon contact, while "pointing/aiming" the end of the rotor arm at the contact from which the wire goes to the...
