sounds to me like a ring and pinion/ axle shaft issue.. My guess is pinion bearing is bad.. But hey what do I know.. I don't think its a wheel bearing because they both locked up.. Sounds like the differential locked up and then something broke maybe one shaft "betting the long side" and that is...
Here is the wrecker motor I mentioned earlier.. I took the best pictures I could it's kind of hard to get at in that old bugger. I did grab the fan and it rocked back and forth so its not froze up. The trans is a straight 5 not overdrive with a split axle.
I crawled under it and swear the block...
It's hard to make money with them.. They are slow and eat fuel... Any loggers in your area? They might need some help from time to time.. That truck is very clean! What was he asking? All I can think of is helping a farmer to pull grain wagons out of them clay fields down there or pulling out...
Ahhhhh I have awoken the Mopar gods! YES! I have a 60's Dodge wrecker real close to me with a 440 and 5 speed in it.. I will see about the crankshaft bolt pattern maybe he will do that for me..Do you need measurements or will a picture do? So the manifolds off that 440 will probably work? If I...
Nothing personal Sarge.. Your not dumb.. It just gets exhausting to weed through stuff sometimes when you need answers.. But one good thing about SS is you eventually get what you need.. Your definately right about clinto and I wish the chat was back up and running. What's the deal with that...
Yes I think the site is great.. I just long for the old days from time to time when we could talk freely and the group was small enough you knew everyone and who was full of crap and who was not.. "But that's all I got to say about thattttt.."
So now back to this motor for a M887 swap.. Come on...
I could tell you but would have to kill you.. A friend of a friend has it.. 361 Chrysler our out of a APC if I had to guess.. Supposedly rebuilt. All waterproof military application.. I will need new manifolds, switch the oil pan around, and the usual stuff but it should have no trouble pushing...
I might have solved my problem..I will need to change some stuff but should be able to make it work. **** maybe even a NV4500?? But also wonder why I even subject myself to the doo doo that can flow out of this site these days. Again if I was going to replace the entire driveline I would just...
The LDS 465 1A which is the motor that should be in that truck is valuable. If it runs good.. The tractor shares the same wheelbase as the dump truck so you could put a dump on it? Without seeing it and listening to the motor I can't make a judgment on if you could make money on or with it. The...
:shock::shock:I am very shocked! I did not even know he was sick! Oh man this upsets me! He will be greatly missed by me and many others in and out of the hobby.. Truly one of the last of a very special breed... He would send me parts and I pay him later! Now who does that these days...
You know! The stuff Wonder Woman has ! I have a huge scar on my buttock that she left.. Crazy star wearing, invisible jet flying, nympho ! But that's a camp fire trail ride story..:oops:
Most of the differences, ups and downs of each have been covered. A good way to help your decision is to find someone with both, park them next to each other and look them over. You will definitely appreciate the difference between a 5 ton and 2.5 ton right away. Now crawl under each and take a...
I was thinking the same thing Stretch.. How old is the intake filter? It might just have started to clog up or a mouse made a home over the weekend.. How long has in been since the top end has been done on your motor gymp? Might have some valve timing issues??
