I hope so also. Where did the pieces end up? So aaron379, it looks like you removed the radiator and everything going back. Is the bare shaft the crank? i see the gear in the oil pan. Did you have to drop the pan also? I am still trying to find information.
Really? Did yours look like this also? I started looking thru the TM's but i am not finding much on this. How in-depth was the tear-down? What kind of seal is it?
Napa is good, Not knowing to much about what I have to do to fix this is not.
I got some seal questions unfortunately. I think i just lost my front seal on my deuce less than one hr ago. Almost home (about one mile) and I smelled oil. I didn't see anything from the cab when I parked so I let the motor run for a few like supposed to to cool the turbo.
When I got...
I just saw this is In the cucv. Sorry about that. I did a search on seals and just read it but didn't look to closely.
I will remove this and but it in "the deuce"
I have always loved trucks. I have always loved big trucks. I have always loved military equipment (trucks, tanks, helicopters, jets, rockets, explosives, machine guns).
I was born in 72, my Kaiser is a 72. Seemed like it was destiny.
My 1500 looks puny next to it.
Are you saying don't start in second low also? Everybody says the major issue is with the woodruff key on the second high gear.
If your not supposed to split, your saying that empty should be high range only and loaded should be low?
So if do a mechanical, are we talking about so aftermarket type like at auto-zone? Just run a line up to the gauge?
btw... At least my typing skills are improving. :whistle:
I noticed today that my gauge was barley over 0 today. After scratching my head for a second and tapping the gauge face, I shut off the power to see what the needle did. It dropped well below 0, turn on the power and back to where it was just above 0.
Maybe I just need to change the oil and...
I had mine out for a ride tonight and my oil pressure was reading just above zero. I haven't had the truck long enough to have all the gauges memorized yet when operating (as i am trying to not crush cars on the road) not to mention that all the gauges have a lot of over-spray on them making it...
You guessed right. 16r20's just look insane! I would have never been able to afford to build this truck like this. I was lucky to have followed it for 5 years and 2 previous owners before the stars lined up correctly for me.
Well today I tried the splitting gears and it was a breeze. I had no problem what so ever. I liked starting in 2nd low. The truck moved along surprising quickly like this. I also had no problem splitting down either.
:)
I am going to put my monster on the scales tomorrow. I am guessing 15k with the 6-53's I know each one is around 337 lbs without the rim.
Should be interesting.
