Video title is offensive and false, no view revenue from me.

Probably the first 15 minutes of driving the top speed is around 40. Yeah grades will kill your speed, welcome to 1950's power to weight ratios. You are probably right though, carb ignition timing etc has to be pretty close to perfect to get the raging 130 hp.

On mine, until the gear cases are hot, I can't get full governed speed either. The cold viscous gear oil sucks up a lot of power.

The plastic box? Part of the fording system. Unless you plan on driving though 4 feet of water, you can leave it off.

As far as “boggy”, the 302 doesn’t have a lot of azz under 2500 rpm. You can force high rpm shifts by using “hilly”. The 302 is ok with 3400 rpm all day, she’s screaming but that’s how uncle ran her back in the day.

Looks like 42 nd Infantry Division (New York National Guard), 2nd Battalion, 108th Infantry Regiment, Headquarters company, 85th truck assigned to company. Very storied history to this day. TP45 is of course tire pressure.

Whoo- hoo! What great news! I knew you’d get it loose.

Maybe try this, drive the truck up against an immovable object like a tree, put in high range, engine a little over idle, and crawl under the truck and beat on the reduction unit with a sledgehammer. If you get killed doing this, sorry in advance.

How fast were you going when you did the "shift to high" trick? When it lets loose it will be a deafening bang. Removing and taking the transmission apart to fix this is no fun.

Joe do you think this truck has been restored in the past or is this still paint from military service? I suspect someone repainted it after leaving service as usually there are stars etc..

There were two versions of the Caiman, the first was based on the FMTV M1083 and has the C7. Then BAE came up with the (awful) Caiman II which has the C9 along with independent suspension.

You are sure no air is coming out of the dryer sneeze valve when the engine is running?

Can you hear any leaking after you turn the engine off?

Get H1 Alpha geared hubs with helical cut gears, that fixed the issue.

Should be finger tight when you re-tighten it. The part is plastic so go easy on it if you use tools to loosen it

Where is the cover plate? Rain will enter without it. Sounds like the pump is stalled.

Out of curiosity, what are your plans for these? Jay Leno already has one …

Are you sure??? your wiki reads: "Green Valley is an unincorporated retirement community composed of 59 Homeowner Associations. " Hate to be a party pooper but this HOA nightmare comes up a lot on this board.

Whoa, if your HOA won’t go for a 6x6 deuce, they SURELY won’t go for a 4x4! They will consider it a commercial vehicle and make your life a living hell. Each letter they send they will bill you $75 or some such stupidity.

They have to go motor freight. I would guess stairs and pallet at 100 lbs.
