    Transfer case mount problem

    May be in wrong forum. Please advise if so. Both my deuces have broken studs on right side of xfer case. Is this common ? I had to jackleg drill and tap on my 67 with xfer still on truck. Not fun but I don't have a xmission jack and can't afford a new one big enough to handle it. Today the studs...

    wind

    I understand the turbo only adds about 5hp. It was used primarily to clean up the exhaust. Anyone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. I have 1 W/turbo, 1 W/O turbo. Can't tell any difference except the cloud I leave behind.2cents

    The Dead Rekoning, my M35A2.

    YOU are your chief mechanic. roadside fixes are common. Don't let it spook you. take your time , study the TMs and have at it. There's always someone HERE if you get stuck and need an answer. I don't know what I'd do without this forum.[thumbzup]

    The Dead Rekoning, my M35A2.

    Thanks Davey8943 for the attachment. Guess who had not realized the keyway needed sealed. Now I know why my outer bearings always are washed free of grease.aua

    The Dead Rekoning, my M35A2.

    Yes get the seals also. Gear oil may also migrate to the brake shoes - not good either

    If the FDC leaks fuel into the engine...

    Uncle Sam removed my FDC. I am running a near 100% oil mix (WMO & surplus new oil of varying viscosities) with no noticable difference from diesel

    The Dead Rekoning, my M35A2.

    Sharp Deuce !! Looks like brake fluid to me also. I've been fighting the leaks since I got the truck. Get a couple new wheel cylinders and at least 4 shoes. Worn brake shoes will let the wheel cyl. over extend and dump fluid. ( learned the hard way in traffic ). Go over your brake system end to...

Left me and the wife stranded 25mi from home. took a day off work and drove to Clarks Truck Parts.relatively expensive...

    Filter NEW motor oil ??

    I have received access to aproximately 500 gallons of new motor oil of different viscosities. 15wt to 50wt. No it's not hot. Oil became disposable due to a brand change in a large backup generator. Knowing the oil is not contaminated, would it be safe to pump straight into my deuce tank??

    cost of ownership (the real cost of a deuce)

    Started out just under 4k from a indivdual in SC. Foolishly drove it home to WV. NO PROBLEMS !! I had never driven or turned a wrench on one. God looks after drunks and fools, I don't drink.
