I see a major problem here. Your hitch should be over or just ahead of the differential, not behind. This is going to cause stability issues as your truck will start "see-sawing" from front to rear. If it was me I would cut off some more frame and put the hitch just in front of the differential...

Yes, check the governor. It probably has gunk built up inside. I would just buy a new one. There real cheap about $25.00 .

OK, I haven't looked at my manuals yet so I might just be stepping in the pooh here but I believe the only NP205's that used the long shaft in the 1980's where behind the SM465 4 speed manual transmission. There is no difference between Military and Civilian drivetrains in these trucks. The...

There are a lot of 4X4 IHC's down here in Washington due to the logging industry. For the most part 2 wheel drive Medium duty IHC's did come with 2 speed differentials. By the way, do you think I have a "God" complex like porkysplace thinks ? I think I just don't like BS when it comes to trucks...

That's correct to a point. All TH400's use the short shaft on the figure 8 NP205 . There is no intermediate shaft in a NP205. It is the input gear itself which mates up to the transmission output shaft.

Good find ! Those wrenches are quite rare !

That's a good one !

The GMC "TopKick" 4X4 would be a good choice. I'm just partial to Internationals myself.

A fellow member here asked me if I had any pictures of my 12 volt alternator installation. So I found these. Hope these help.

Thanks guys. I'll check out this movie. About Tapatalk. Is it an App ?

Probably had a bunch of Gas engines still setting around.

My wife calls mine "the money pit" ! I call her " My precious " !!! Just like the ring !

Get yourself a half dozen cans of brake clean and hose the whole area down real good ! Then start up the truck and see where the drips come from.

Yes the Hercules 855 cid was a very common truck engine in the day. You just need to find a parts place that has competent workers who can actually look up something on their own. You can also just take your old starter in and get it fixed. They can even rewire it for you, and install new magnets.

OK, what does this mean Zombie land ? and what is Tapatalk ? I know I'm getting old but I never heard of this before .

I know ! Ain't it great !!! My wife has a fit when I bring the Ding-Dongs and Ho-Ho's though. She keeps saying I'm going to die from a heart-attack from all the junk food and then who's going to take care of her and the boy ! Of course that doesn't stop her from stealing and eating my stash !

Go with the "WIX" filters. I need to look up the numbers though.

Who's talking about 5 tons here ? I was referring to the capability of the deuce. I was asking what you did for your company so I could determine if what you said had any validity. If your where the mechanic who actually maintained these Ford F550's then what you said would carry some weight as...

Where do you work ? You use the Ford F550 as a dump truck ? As far as the mechanics at work, almost all are ASE certified and a lot like me are Master certified. When I applied there where 600 applicants. Three where hired. I was number one. That is normal for all the rest of the mechanics at...

Yes Facts are Facts except when it comes to the actual REAL world. The Ford people along with GMC and Chrysler would have you believe their trucks can tow Trains and Planes and Automobiles all day long. Well that is just not true. What is the actual frame size on the F 550 ? How does it compare...
