Since you said it was rusted, I would say that the best bet it to disassemble it and then sand the rusty spots with 250 grit wet or dry and then grease it down.

Knowing some knuckleheads in the Army, they would use the dumper to unload crates of mortars.aua

Does the truck have a PTO winch? The hard shifting could caused by not enough gear lash between the PTO and tranny. Get some extra gaskets or cut one from gasket material and shim it a bit. As for the transfer case, it sounds as though you have a bearing going bad.

Yea, it went down in the middle of the freaking night when hardly anyone bids so they extend it for a day. Screw 'em. I put an opening bid on some trucks, but I'll be damned if I buy them now.

You are doing it the hard way. Get two 6" timbers about 2 feet longer than the diameter of the wheel and chain it to the holes in the rim. Then just drive out.

Just make sure that none of us bid on any of the items they extended. They can go eff themselves.

It is a cheap ploy by GL to grab more money.

What do you mean, "not straight"? Is it bent? Then bend it back!:roll:

Poorly adjusted brake pedal switch.

As far as gear lash goes, I would shim it so that you can just barely feel the pinion gear bump against the ring gear as you rotate it one way and then the other.

I just took one off. It is 7/16" and a socket might not take them off. Bring a combination wrench, too, and a pry bar to get the U-joint off. Also, when you take the drive shaft out of the transmission it will probably pour tranny fluid out all over. Bring something to catch it in. As a...

I dub thee "Tiny".:wink: Now seriously. Get a box seat and lower it all the way. Or go to a junk yard and get a seat that sits closer to the floor. I'm 6'2" and I can easily push the pedals.

Well, if you won't shorten your legs, then you have to lengthen the cab. Hey, it's only money, right?

I would check the junkyards for a good 6.5L GMC to drop in it.

I just learned recently that you NEVER fax them anything after closing time or on weekends. If the fax machine runs out of paper, then your fax goes into the great bit bucket in the sky. So don't assume that because you got an "OK" on your fax machine (or in my case from Free Fax • Free...

Can you not drill and tap the center of the wiper post?

Looks like you will want a 5 ton. The easy way is to buy am M817 dump. A tougher but cheaper way to go is to buy a M813 or M811 and put a dump kit on it.

Get the owner to do the cranking. That way if it blows, it's his vehicle and you owe nothing.

Nice looking truck. I was there last week for a pre-pickup inspection and saw some nice ones and some not so nice ones.

Do you mean that the starter spins without cranking the engine? Then you have a bad starter. When you turn the ignition switch to Start, it applies 12 to the coil of the relay. The relay then pull the contacts together ans switches 24 vdc to the starter.
