I drove my deuce on base and was going to get waved on with no checks but I stopped and said this is no longer military they said ooooo you need to pull in over there and get a pass.
The Tm's call for 10w oil
Allison says rotella t6 ( off road )
Dex ( Highway )
I would recommend taking to someone to change so they can get all oil or dex out of converter and oil cooler.
Dex has a lower boiling point so would not be good for heavy off road use.
When you get it, get rid of vents on axels, run tubes up to intake .
Check hub bolts on rear axels for tightness.
Check all fluids diffs,transfer case, tranny,engine
OK this is what I read on Allison web and a couple other places .
Dex is find for hi way use
Oil is for off road use (heavy ) due to dex has a lower boil off point.
Allison recommended rotella t 6 for off road use.
I would suspect in oil cooler and trans pan pull oil filter at trans cooler and take inside pour oil out in container and let warm up correct me if wrong if water is in oil would it not seperate.
