Out of curiosity, when you say put "more" money into her, what did you already get fixed? You are getting good advice here already. Says the guy who drove his new acquisition home about 900 miles after a 3 day basic lube, grease and cleanup service. All six axle seals leaked...had no spares...

The advice I received when doing my clutch during an engine swap was "don't even worry about it ". I think you did a good step there; no harm in having a balanced assembly. The holes are of course to lighten the wheel at specific places. They will not affect functionality. Sent from my...

That F600 is actually an awesome find. You need to know your steel soldiers to recognize what this is. Very cool. Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk

The axle shafts themselves and the differential gears are not moving side to side, it is the whole axle assembly. So, no, this would not affect a locker. The mechanical lockers simply lock up when power is applied to the driveline and unlock for coasting. People that have mechanical lockers...

Montaillou, your mechanic is wrong! :-) No severe off roading needed. All you need to do is pull over on a highway and sink all three wheels on the passenger side into soft ground, over the hubs . 3 spinning, 3 stopped. Truck leaning over to the passenger side. Game over. Will air lockers save...

W/w truck? If yes, it should have two extra leafs. They did not always add them when a truck received a winch later in life. If it was me, I would jack up the front, remove both spring packs and have them repaired and re-arched at a truck/spring shop. I can't tell from the pics with all the...

If you look into the exhaust manifold you will see that there is a middle divider. If you drill dead center that is what you hit. Look at the turbo gasket...it also shows that divider. Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk

Example: https://midwestmilitaryequipment.com/compressor-wrench-set-m35a2-multi-fuel-m54-adjust-belt-military/ You can do it without...a pipe wrench or adjustable wrench can also work...but easiest is the wrench set. As for the procedure...the pulley on the air compressor is two halves. The...

Drill and tap off centre above turbo. Easy to do and most useful readings. Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk

FWIW, I am so happy that Tom made this kit and made me believe that I could actually install it (and I could!). One of the best mods ever for my truck. I put this ahead of power steering and expensive tire upgrades, personally. The quality is outstanding and the driveability is greatly improved.

Before we tear shreds off each other, perhaps it is worth asking whether there even exists the one right answer to the question asked about which gear oil is best for the Spicer 3053A transmission. It may well be that there are several options that are not easily distinguished being "better" or...

Perhaps this helps: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?99130-Starter-Relay-help You could just get a heavy duty start button from a tractor supply store and hook that up until you get a proper replacement. You can start the truck by shorting the wires but remember that, although the...

Yes, jhoot1970, the shop van has the same multifuel engine as the regular M35A2, so the same parts will work. You also get a gold star for resurrecting a long-dead thread! 2012...not bad!

Not with the stock inner seals, you won't. They are not designed to keep oil in (that is why gear oil that leaks past the outer seal runs down on the inside of the rims after a shortcut through the brake drums. The inner seals keep dirt out and grease in, that's about it. If it was as simple as...

If anyone needs a PTO for a 5ton 809 series, I know where one is! :-) Good price, too!

Simp, anyone?

It is easy to go a bit overboard, especially when one is somewhat detail oriented. How hot is "hot"? Here is my suggestion: If you go for a high speed drive, about 30-45 min, (highway is best so you are not on the brakes all the time) and then check the hubs and you can leave your bare hand on...

SgtC, Toby - would you mind putting up a sketch with dimensions? That would be helpful for people that want to do similar things!

Counted teeth. 21 on the coarse big wheel 26 on the finer big wheel Does that help in identifying whether it will fit onto a Spicer? Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk

Thanks, simp! Maybe it's for the M35A3 Allison? I will count teeth. Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk
