C&C, thanks, any parts you might have would be very helpful at this point. The central support bracket worries me, but I'll tear into that on Saturday. Off to San Fransisco for two days for work. :cry: There were quite a few nice looking trucks up there, got to keep an eye on those auctions I...

I poked around a bit, looks like they are referred to as the 1710 series, good to know that there might be other stuff out there! From pirates4x4 board: U-joint - Rockwell #15NIF Flange - Rockwell #18N204C Weld on yoke - Rockwell #16N73MFB Slip yoke - Rockwell #16N188C I believe I'm after...

Thanks, Dave, I'll let you know.

Will do thanks!

I've always thought the 109A3 was rather short, and a third axle would have a hard time fitting anywhere. Surely you don't want to put even more in the back of it do you? As it is, on the highway they are rated for 10k, and that might be somewhat conservative from a axle load standpoint. Brakes...

I think with the 105 behind it it was nearly 43'. It was quite long, but actually less stressful to drive than the Deuce for some reason. The Cummins seems more peaceful somehow. Perhaps it was the subconscious confidence in the FWD system I was exploiting.

Yeah, it's going to need some work though, any one have any leads on where I can find the broken parts for the rear drive line? I'm thinking the driveshafts aren't too common, only the xlwb trucks would have this setup, so I need to use most of what I have, but the two U joints, and the two...

It's sounding like they think it was injecting too much fuel, not to little if I'm understanding this correctly.

The bed is 20'. Once the driveshaft issue is corrected it will be time to prep the body work and a new coat of paint is in order I think!

See my new post, it has all kinds of info :-)

My buddy and I are engineers by schooling, which doesn't mean too much, he's a mechanical and I'm and electrical. He does alot with materials now that were out, for the past 5 years or so. His guess on the how goes something like this. The rear wheels were free spinning some how when suddenly...

2nd set :razz:

First set of photos. :-D

So I loaded up the SUV over the past few days with all the needed items I could think of and what I had found suggested here for recovering a 5-ton. This was a M814 listed in Drexel, no start, so I assumed dead batteries and took along a pair. Morning started out not too early, 6:30am from...

Those tires are huge!

Glad you made it back safely Bill.

I'm off to recover mine at Drexel tomorrow morning. I think I've got everything needed loaded in the SUV. Would take the M109, but the only guy I could find to drive the trip with me probably shouldn't be trusted in something so large! :-D

:popcorn:

not the best, more tomorrow though

I'll try to take some pictures of my M814 tomorrow.
