I am going to be pulling the trans in the next couple of days and taking it apart. I have the TM. Who do ya'll recomend to get a rebuild kit for it from? I need this old girl to be reliable again. Thanks.
Today I went and drove through a bunch of snow trying to get to my buddies cabin staying in1st, 2nd and 3rd all day. I used the winch a few times. About half wayback down the mountain the trans started to sound a bit off in 3rd. So when I got off the mountain I checked the oil level it was a bit...
I bought three sets of full hydro steering with pumps rams and orbital valves for a smokin deal the other day so I am going to use one set for this truck. John Fisher has dibs on another set so there is an extra laying around for another project down the road.
I installed a 4 inch magnaflow. I cut the pipe just below and above the clamp the welded the clamp below the muffler so I can easily remove the muffler if I need to. It is alot quieter now. Still loud but much more tolerable.. I also am using a Ford Aerostar seat. So much more comfortable.
I have almost completed my Deuce. It is done enough to now be my daily driver since my other trucks are either broken or undergoing an eng swap. There are alot of people that have made it possible to get to this point. John Fisher, Jess "high Angle Driveline" , Mark "100dollarman" , Chuck, Walt...
I just won this today and am curious about it. I assume it is a troop carrier mod. Are the sides and troop seats easily removable? I can't wait to pick it up.
Redneck truck Yep
I drive my Bobbed Deuce and a standard Deuce around Lancaster Ca and Edwards Air Force base. I have been called a redneck for many years by the way I dress and act. So I'm not sure if it's the truck that makes me a redneck or me that makes the truck a redneck. When I get to...
I drained the oil tonight and put in Rotella 15W40. Sounds normal again all the little noises I heard are gone. Glad I didn't drive on the other oil. Although with changing the oil filters twice in three days my wife is looking at me like I've got a third eyeball. It should be really clean for a...
I haven't gotten around to changing the oil yet. But I will before I drive it again. My buddy has been using it in his F350 PSD For three years now. I understand that the Deuce is a bit different than your new trucks. On those grounds and on the fact that I want my Deuce to live a long and...
Rogo. I put it in on the advice of one of the guys I work with who's been running it in his power stroke for a few years. I'll dump it tonight and put in rotella.
It's MIL-PRF-23699F type C/1 full synthetic. work got busted by base HAZMAT hording it and it had to go. I got the nod to get rid of it all. So I brought it home along with about 45 gallons of synthetic transmision fluid too.
I finally got around to changing my oil today. I went with 30 wt synthetic oil. Now I can hear alot more noises from my eng. Nothing really loud just alot more taps and stuff. The pressure sits at 30 when warm and about 60 when cold. It is at the right level. Is this normal when switching to...
17 years active with the Marine Corps. I am deploying again in Jan of next year. This will be my first West Pac float. I've done 3 Med floats and 2 tours in Iraq.
I have a couple of left over M105 trailer axles from previous projects. I have a 1969 Zeiman trailer with a bent axle. I would like to use the M105 axles to replace the Zeiman axles. Do ya'll think the hub extension on the M105 can be redrilled to an 8 lug pattern. The width is almost right...
Mine is an SAE#3 bell housing on the Allison. And here is a link to a company that makes the adapter that I need.
