On reflection. Unlikely the gearbox. ((UNLESS a "burred shaft" overmuch endfload???) Is it possible for you to take this truck on a long private road? and, with ALL clutch operating items disconnected AND checking absalute thrust release bearing clearences...see if you get "top gears slip"...

cause and effect have to agree with 73819..There IS a CAUSE. Stressing everything up is "masking" the (orriginal) problem. As previously stated there ARE many many other heavy applications deuces are used for. With old worn whatever, but no problem clutches. I ran my deuce 300 miles towing and...

Axle Allighnment Suprised you haven't had the (huge?) "BUMP" ("What HAVE I hit??" ( jumps out in panick , looks..sees nothing!))when you turn/backup tight..makes you really jump if you aren't aware of whats going on!.. The rear axles "allighning themselves". Lube prevents this. But scary if not...

Winching instruction Error? Film Shows Release tensioner Lock IN ( DOWN) winching OUT. The Cable Tensioner should be in the RELEASE (UP) position to winch out. For a training film it is rather ambiguouse, as The "review" at the end does NOT make it clear if the the proceedure is the winch...

Whell fitting Simply replace to fronts as is, and also put the rears on as is minus the inners. Use the square wheel "nuts" to fasten them on. I did my deuce this way. Having them as inners retained gives a Really skinny stance. This is ok up 1400x 20, I wonder if 1600s might stick out...

just a word...with the registration number With the local patrolman, (bieng a local vehicle as you said) would (have) avert (ed) a bad Potential misshap with that dangerouse set up. that's what I would have done at the least...Just my 1/2 pence worth.

WS>>> Why the 100s of bucks to fit an over the top alternator?, Do you have machine shop/ 30 radios in back? no?..ok, well if not..chuck ANY 24 volt Single wire (to charge the batteries ONLY! ) Alternator ( from ye'r LOCAL scrap yard!) On your truck. I have single wire 24 volt alternators on...
