I understand less tire wear 4less tires, but the "walking beam axle" makes the duece a sooth ride. I of also send most of my day in those " R" Macks. I also can understand there are about as meny was to respring a Bob Duece as there are people.
I havn't had a problem with mine, but I'm not at those debths. I would think seal the zipper well and should be no problem. I aslo had considered taking the axle vents and going with a 1/4 npt street L with a hose barb and run that up into the frame, also a wise mil machanic told me that check...
There are probably serveral threads on this. I have done both the 2 1/2, and the 5T. I had to have help with the outside ring. I have had no problems w/ the zipper boots just coat the zipper w/ sealcan well. Also invest in a TM, good reading. Make sure to clean the old grease and water out that...
Foam filled tires will be out of bal. The truck was built for bias tires. Always do a once around looking for problems. Most likley a low tire. Best, newest tires should be up frt.

Power Take Off. It is how power is transmitted via a shaft to a winch or a hydraulic pump for a lift off of the transmision or transfercase. Farm tractors have them above the hitch for driving augers, saw mills and anything else to connect to, very dangerious. To answer the latter thread...
I also bought a air gauge w/ air chuck and quick disconects to go back and forth with a air gun. I like to blow out the pocket that holds water above trunnion bearing between the two rear axles.
I had a friend tell me when he was station in the artic they put duals on the frt. to get around in the snow better. They had no problem going where they wanted to, he said.
