Fully Built and will beat 90% of whats driving today is one **** of a claim. I have seen some great feats of engineering that truly impressed me and a Cummins powered Dodge pickup was not on the list.
Seals are lips that are designed to keep oil and grease in the housing be means of the vee shape of the sealing lip, pressure from the inside pushes the seal tight against the rotating shaft, But there not to good at keeping pressurized anything out. This is just my take on it so don't take it...
My first duece would not go into first without grinding and the trans was a rebuilt piece installed by the military upon futher inspection ,ie pulling trans I discovered the last mechanic forgot to install a pilot bearing. When I pushed the clutch I suppose the main shaft would drag the hole in...

I think I might like to air out my 5 ton and drive the 125 miles to Findlay. I have been to a few swap meets in my personal pick up but never driven MV to a show. What registration do I have to do if any, and what if any other advice for a first timer. Thanks for the help.
