    Oil Leaks

    Holy Crap :shock: I don't pretend to be a expert on this stuff but with the correct filters and the spring and cup installed correctly how can you do this to the filters just by over tightening the bolt without crushing the cans first ?

    Working on the Deuce

    Three things come to mind. A bent adjuster (7), something causing the mounting pin(10) to bind in the slot in the shoe not letting it retract completely or the cup in the brake cylinder not moving deep enough in the bore.

    Choosing the Right MV for the Job - Need Ideas, Experience, & Opinions from MV Users

    You could also go the bobber route. They are multifuel, manual transmission and with the larger tires they cruise pretty good.

    Making this truck a daily driver

    I have had several vehicles with 700R4's in them and have not had any problems. The last was in a 89 V1500 jimmy that I used as a daily driver and hauled my 28' 7800# rv trailer. Had over 350K on the clock when I sold it and the original engine and transmission was going strong. Transmission...

    Choosing the Right MV for the Job - Need Ideas, Experience, & Opinions from MV Users

    I tend to agree with midcounty. If I was looking for a everyday driver, snowplow. trash hauler and medium trailer puller I would be looking at a M1008 or M1028. You could also get a 1031 and change the bed. Nice thing is they use mostly off the shelf GM pickup parts.

    Leaking axle... and not the good kind

    I did the same as Scott above. I purchased a couple packages of mixed gasket material at the local NAPA. Cut my own wedges and installed them with a liberal amount of RTV just for a little extra insurance.

    Hole in axle ends? What for?

    If you mean item "P" in the diagram it was to be able to add grease in the nuckle to keep the older style birfield open ball joints lubed. Note 11 in LO 9-2320-209-12 says to fill with grease to the plug hole 1 a year or every 12K miles to keep the joint lubed.

    Working on the Deuce

    Not really to bad a job to adjust. I made sure my bottom anchor pins would turn before I put the hub/drum assembly back on. Also remember to make the adjustment before you install the axle.

    Front axle seals and boots stepXstep

    :ditto: what Countryboy21 said. That was the hardest part to get off of the entire process when I did the bushings, bearings, brakes and seals. Hitting like it said in the TM didn't even budge mine. Liberal application of penetrating oil and working the cones out with a small chisel was the ticket.
