this thread ALMOST fits the decription of a "cat fight" doesnt it? :lol:

lol's...actually i did. I know my opinion is irrelevant...it always is. Because im American and have the right to voice my opinion, it doesnt mean anyone has to listen to it or agree, but i can still say it :beer: as for what kept the A3's from running? I've no idea..i was never a...

ever notice how the guys that dont have them (not always) have nothing but bad things to say about something, and vis versa, the guys who do have them (not always) have nothing but good to say....either way, My opinion of the A3 as a former Army 88m, i dont care for A3's at all. they were a...

yes you can....I used 4 camper jacks to remove my van body....took off the outer duals and rolled out from under it...then rolled it up on a trailer. Worked real good. If i had the MHE to do it, i woulda used the lifting points your talking about...

besides re-assembling my transmission, i been busy with some rattle cans....when she rolls out the garage tomorrow afternoon, it will be to the song "Back in Black" lol ...before and after...

After rebuilding my transmission, i noticed that no matter what i used to clean the inside of the gearbox, there was still metal flake stuck in the rough surface of the cast iron. Since my input shaft bearing let go, there was a lot of metal in there so i decided that a magnet would be a good...

Im by no means a master mechanic, and probably not nearly qualified to reply to this, BUT in my opinion (just my opinion) it kinda sounds like you might have air in your lines somewhere thats hiding, gets pushed down when you use the brakes, still feeling good, then creeps back or gets stuck...

I dont know about Rotella, BUT when i was driving Semi's we used only Chevron Delo 400 as advised by the previous owner. Worked great. Got the oil changed at a deal that shall remain nameless, and asked specifically for Delo 400..they assured me they put it in there....my Cat 3406E would have...

Thats horrible...the NAPA out here in my town is great. Never had aproblem with them...if they dont have it, they order it. When i told the manager what kind of truck i was getting, he said bring some parts by (filters, lugs, brake shoes, etc. ) and if they dont have the numbers, he would...

Looking good! [thumbzup]

I got my new bearing yesterday morning. Took me all of 40 minutes to re-assemble the trans. It is now ready to be put back in and buttoned down. Ill get 'er in there on friday (day off). I should have both front hubs done by then as well so hopefully friday afternoon or saturday morning, ill...

Seriously...why am i not suprized to see a Wal-Mart sign in this picture? LMAO! When i was in Germany assinged to the Great 28th Trans, we had a mail run that went to Grafenwoehr (we just called it Graf) and there were 2 routes that took you thee from the Autobahn. One of them you could...

<----------JEALOUS! P-51D mustang's have been my favorite Airplane since i was about 10 yrs old...

HOLY COW!!!! lol..if mine looked like that i probably woulda just sold the truck and bought another one. Ill have some more pic's posted tomorrow, the trans. is all back together now, and ready to be installed. The bearing came this morning and it took me about 45 minutes to re-assemble the...

Ok so thanks to WillWagner, i have a replacement Trans. Adapter, its been cleaned, inspected, lightly coated with copper RTV spray, and installed. This time i made sure the ground strap was no where near the opening...had light in there, and tapped the adapter in gently with a rubber mallet...

a bone headed mistake...when putting it back, there wasnt any light and i didnt see that the grounding strap got under the lip and it cracked it as i was tightening it down. sad thing is i was only using a small 3/8 drive ratchet....aluminum is weird when you torque it a way it was supposed to...

So i find myself in need of a Transmission Adapter. I broke mine yesterday. So i thought id check in here first before calling all the Deuce suppliers, and see if any one here has a parts truck that still has a Trans. Adap. they could pull off and sell me. If so please PM me with your number...

Well $#*%*!!!!!!!! I done broke the transmission adapter while tightening it down....The chassis ground strap got up under the lip and when i tightened it up, it cracked 2 big chunks off the adapter....which is made of aluminum-for what reason i will never understand. Anyhow, this was a...

Are you planning on bobbing the truck? If not i dont think the 53's will fit...the tandems are too close together i think. I was gonna run 46's on my 109 but since changed my mind. When i did have the tires, it looked like id only have about an inch or so clearance between the two...
