Many use DEX III but in any case all the same fluid is never a bad idea, there is a procedure for getting the air out of the system, I have never done it I just wait for it to work itself out, it is rather normal for the Cadillac valve to be noisy, even more so when there is air in the system...
Went down to Port A this morning for breakfast and a little beach cruising, not many people there today, I figure everyone is waiting until next weekend.
I can only make the beach Saturday and Monday on Labor day weekend because the old family church has a big social event every year the day...
Your oil pressure is just fine, I do not understand why so many obsess about oil pressure, no body has 80 PSI unless they have a defective gauge.
BESIDES there is absolutely nothing you can do about the oil pressure anyway short of rebuilding or swapping engines and even then you will be right...
I ordered enough stock to make a ton of them, you need to be able to tighten that nut while holding the key, tight enough that it will not get loose.
I sent you a PM
Actually after thinking about it, I would replace that fork, it is just as important to pull the bendix back as it is to push it forward and any wear limits the overall travel.
Then of course you have "automatic" 4WD or 6WD like the M35, it uses a rather ingenious setup, the front diff has a slightly different gear ratio than the rear diffs. so under normal operation (on pavement for example) the front driveshaft is turning slightly faster than the rear driveshaft, the...
The HMMWV has "full time FWD" in H it is driving both axles through a DIFFERENTIAL in the transfer case meaning in H you could jack up ether end and not go anywhere, similar to an open differential in a rear end, if you jack up one wheel it will not go anywhere but in "normal" operation it is...
Also pay close attention to the shims, there is usually an insulated shim directly against the commutator and then there may be bronze shims between the insulated one and the rear bushing and there is a bronze shim between the collar and the nose piece.
Do not use emery cloth on the commutator...
You will not be able to simply push the collar down as in the video as the collar is locked in place by the spring clip.
You will have to stand the armature on its end and use a socket to drive the collar towards the bendix.
Then remove the spring clip and collar to be able to slip the bendix...
That is why I wanted to get one on the bench, that collar looks much thicker than it needs to be but my spare is the same, there is a wire spring that rides in a groove on the shaft and holds that collar in place.
