Actually a lot of shops use the back lot to do there quick jobs. I once had to use a 4' X 8' sheet of plywood to remove a 6 speed MT series Allison transmission from a garbage truck. It was an extremely hot day in Phoenix AZ. and the maggots where dropping on me.

The NP205 is suppose to have gear oil period. The only NP205 that used ATF was the "Shift on the Fly" one that had a synchro shift on the front output shaft (1984 to 1986) . They where so bad and caused so much trouble that GM dropped them like a hot potato ! It was GM's idea in the first place...

Thank you Tommy. I need to set-up an area where I can use gasoline and diesel without stinking up the whole house. To calibrate the Fuel Density Compensator you need to run it with both gas and diesel fuel.

I am just going to add this one last note. As it has been mentioned earlier, if you don't turn the drums and rotors your only doing half a brake job. I will bet you money that your drums are not round nor perpendicular (tapered) . I have never seen any drum with more then a thousand miles that...

Have you ever pulled a major maintenance on this truck ? From the looks of the bearings and axle shaft, it looks like it has not seen any maintenance in years. So I would change the name of this truck to "Endurance" as it has performed above and beyond the call of duty !

You realize that in a shop you would have been expected to remove and replace that clutch assembly and reinstall the transmission in one day. With two people the shop foreman would expect it to be done in 4 hours. Even as an apprentice I was replacing double disc clutch assemblies on a 13 speed...

OK, just to be clear. You had the drums turned correct ? I don't care if they "Look" good they can still be warped. So did you have them turned ? Since you "adjusted" the brakes that means they are closer to the drums then they where. So if the drums are warped they can lock-up that wheel. Also...

I have always loved that quote. "Give me a lever long enough and a fulcrum on which to place it, and I shall move the world" , Archimedes.

There are a few odd and ends yet to be installed, like the hub and such. I plan on using "Nord-Locks for almost all the bolts in this pump so I will be going back and installing them and torqueing everything. The last item to rebuild is the "FDC" or Fuel Density Compensator . I don't know if...

After you finish tying off the safety wire you can install the cover with the fuel shutoff rod (which you should have taken apart and cleaned and installed a new 'O' ring) picture 3 .

When installing the safety wires there are several ways to do it. This is the way I prefer. I take a length of wire and feed it through the first bolt or screws wire hole until it is about half and half through (pic 1 ) . Then I tightly twist the wire ends together by hand and finish off with a...

Now that the fuel control rod is installed (pic 1 ) , you need to make sure the pin is in the sleeve slot. So gently turn the control lever (pic 2 ) forward until you feel it engage the slot and then the control rod will fully seat. To test and make sure you have the pin in the slot, move the...

OK, I'll try this again but with fewer pictures. It's time to install the fuel control rod, so in picture 2 I'm making sure the plunger sleeve is in the full downward position. Picture 3 shows the control rod with the 'O' ring installed. The 'O' ring is a "2-013 V75" . There is a difference in...

Now it's time to install the fuel control rod. In picture 2 I'm making sure the plunger sleeve is in the full downward position. In picture 3 I'm making sure the plunger sleeve pin is in the downward position In picture 4 I'm installing the fuel control rod assembly. In pictures 5 and 6 I'm...

Now it's time to install the previously rebuilt fuel booster pump.

Had to go to Hawaii for my father in-laws funeral.

Yes. The input shaft is always turning except when the clutch is pushed in. So the turning shaft will turn the countershaft and unless the output shaft is being held by something it too will spin just by friction.

How true !

Now that is an interesting question. I've wondered what the material was that the military used on the "Artic" cargo covers. I'm pretty sure it was not canvas.

Thank you Frank. I appreciate your support !
