I've learned that you sometimes need to be going slower than the recomended road speed in order to downshift into fourth. Some transmissions have there own personality depending on the weight of the oil, previous use/abuse, and outside temperature.

Ok so Here is the progress so far: All of the tunnel pieces have been removed and so has the shifter. My HiLift jack is my overhead 'gantry' I went out to my local general store and bought a generic 1 ton chain hoist for $30.00 Also got two 2' lengths of industrial grade chain and one screw...

Hey mckeeranger, would you happen to know the dimensions of those self locking nuts as well as the best place to get them?

Yes just the transmission is being replaced, So there is no need for clutch alignment in this case? So the clutch and pressure plate stay where they are upon trans removal?

Ok so I have opted out of replacing just my main shaft with the trans in the truck (refer to thread http://www.steelsoldiers.com/deuce/58936-transmission-problem.html) Yesterday I was lucky enough to buy a good used 3053A for $150.00 BUCKS!! (thank you craigslist ;)) It does however need a...

Just a quick question, does anyone know if the main shaft and the main gears can be removed with the transmission in the truck??

Ok so I found a good main shaft with all the gears, but I'm worried it will be difficult to remove the old one, with second/third fused to the shaft I wonder how much of a pain in the ass this will be. Could anyone refer me a removal/installation guide? I don't even know what TM to look in...

This afternoon I was pulling out onto a busy road when I found I was unable to shift out of second, I quickly pulled my deuce over and attempted to force it out of gear. I was able to pull the shifter back to Neutral but then found I was unable to shift INTO second or third!!!!!! :doh: So after...

The Vet said it was INTENDED to be used that way, not you COULD use it that way. :cookoo: I'm beginning to think he was talking about another type of winch. Whatever the case I hope I never find myself in a situation where I have to winch alone. :beer:

Welcome to the hobby! Just bought mine in April, I was 19 at the time!! Saved up for a year to buy it! (My mother just loves it :lol:) Good luck with the E-brake cable, not a fun job... aua

Anyone ever thought of rigging up some kinda handle to operate the pedal clutch from the front bumper? Like an old deuce parking brake handle with a cable to the pedal? You could lock it in either position AND adjust the ammount of tension, just a thought.

Thanks Stretch44875! Before I opeated my winch for the first time I watched this video on youtube just to make sure I was doing it right...small world! :beer:

So if I'm understanding you right it WILL engage but it WON'T disengage unless the load is relieved?

I recently had a discussion with my neighbor who is a Korean war vet, he worked on a 5 ton wrecker (what specifically I'm not sure). I was talking to him about needing two people to perform a safe and successful winching operation weather you are pulling stumps or pulling the truck. I was always...

Up here in New Hampshire the colors are dull but the cold is starting to set in. I love the smell of apple cider, burning woodstoves, pumpkin pie, and diesel exhaust! Planning on taking the Deuce on a road trip through some covered bridges. :driver:

Thanks for the video! I think I'm gonna chain them. To be honest I dont even want to attempt altering the tire tread, unless I have a sufficent ammount of spares incase I screw up... :roll:

Does anybody know a good alternative for the NDCC's??

What would you recomend for a running psi??
