I did see the pics on GP. The question is, did you ABSOLUTELY want an ECV? If so, even with a $3000 engine, you got one at the going rate which seems to be $15K.

Typical on the ones that are missing the rain cap on the air cleaner. These trucks have sat for years open to the elements. See the water stains inside the air hose.

You got it cheap like that because the engine is full of rain. Add an engine to your costs.

Nice! Are you going to build it back into a AN/GRC-142 ratt shack? Your has (had) the A/C unit, wish mine had that.

No I was trying to INSTALL the runflat. Pulling them out using the redneck pickup truck method is simple and easy.

The ebay runflat compressor with the boat winch is absolute garbage. So I tried the youtube method with the hydraulic jack. Had about 6 tons of pressure on the jack making the runflat oval, when suddenly the runflat changed shape and launched the 4x4 timber spacer I was using out and it hit me...

Oh heck yeah, use that 215 to haul it to the shredder. Wish I could find a 215.

Nice, is that a CDN? Lucky to have the REB powershift.

Automatic Transmission Fluid is 10 wt oil with red dye, anti foam, and friction modifiers added.

Which liner exploded this time?

On FMTVs the slip joint spines are so course that you can eyeball the driveshaft and tell if it’s off.

You have confused driveshaft phasing and driveshaft hinge test.

Do you have that very thick fiber spacer that goes under the carb? It is like 5/16 thick.

I hate to say it but the chance of ANY repair shop knowing how to set up the wheel end spiders is ZERO. The trained Army mechanics for the most part don't know how. Most shops don't even understand driveshaft phasing. My advise to you is find the threads on Steelsoldiers that explain these...

Check your driveshaft phasing and the set up in the spider gears in your wheel end hubs.

The OP was talking about a World War II GMC. You are talking about a Reo. The drive train on the Reo can handle 200 hp all day. I agree if I had a worn out OA331 I would not rebuild it, they are gutless. Problem with the Reo is the steering column is INSIDE the frame rail, right where the...

Oh now I understand, when you say “wheel” you are talking about the wheel that the wedge engages, not the tire/wheel. You used “wheel” right after “jacked up to check wheel bearing play” and that confused me.

Can you reread what you wrote and edit it please. Does not make sense to me. Pinion? Wheel wobbles with spring brake applied?

I would remove the serp and check all the accessories for shaft wobble and pulley alignment.
