Well, you DID type "manual gear box".:wink: And they ARE manual. But yes, they are oddly different. Hence my not trying to muddy the waters. In fact i'm trying to make sure we clear them as much as possible. The Transfer box on the dingo DOES use bevel gears (can't recall if they're helical or...

As the pumpkin heats up, sure it can. Have you actually checked the axle flange bolts for tightness? I've had that happen three or four times from axle flanges bolts working loose after having serviced an axle. It's an easy to fix. Could also be the gasket is damaged, but that's an easy fix as...

I figured I'd chime in and say I rebuilt my airpak last week with help from the content of this thread. All went well and everything went together well with only a minor leak on the front giant plug. More tightening on that and it sealed up nicely. The bleeder method with a sprayer is a VERY...

Do you have tools? Is this your only truck or is it a second vehicle? If you can take things apart and work on it, I would strongly suggest you do the work yourself and consult folks here along the way. 1. You're young, these skills are useful. 2. you'll learn more about your truck and...

Not to muddy the waters here but I have owned two vehicles that use engine oil in the manual gear boxes. The Daimler Dingo uses SAE 30 (OE HD30) in the gear box. A wilson pre-selector manual transmission. The Transfer case uses SAE 50 (OE HD50). That's a differentiual and forwards/reverse...

I've been rolling around the idea of a replacement brake fluid reservoir for my truck. I'm finally fixing the air pack which has been spitting BFS out of the vent line on the firewall and I've been pondering this idea again. The idea I have is this: 1. Metal reservoir, fits on the firewall in...

Your sink setup is rather sneaky. Nicely done.

Is that a 383 green powder coat?

My M813A1 had a bit of plastic from a sprite bottle floating around in the tank that would cause fuel starvation. I found it when I did a clean on the fuel tank and pulled the pump. Bloody thing had been partly sucked up the fuel pickup.

Does the cover of the light bar open when the lights are turned on?

The two trips I took to Pa and back, hauling a trailer with another mv on it, the DOT guys never batted an eye at me. Usually I got waves.

When I went down the rabbit hole to figure out what was needed for running my then owned 5 ton, what I found was that IFTA and IRP stickers/tags were for trucks in commerce. IFTA is filed quarterly. IRP is too. The key components on those was not weight/size of vehicle but the "in commerce"...

Do you have a 5 year old handy? (I know, not helping)

Who didn't start off knowing very little about these trucks? Very few of us were raised with them and were turning wrenches on them before we could walk (aside from folks like Joe that is..).

Odd thing, I seem to recall a PM task for my '43 Humber Armoured car that calls for precisely doing so. There are shocks though so perhaps the damping effect is undesired in this instance.

I'd think that'd depend on the amount of damping force your were trying to exert and what the shocks could handle.

I honestly don't recall. The one's I'm running are slightly too long but the very end bumping the windshield seal seems to be a low order issue.
