    Slip yoke question

    As a bobbed truck uses front springs in a rear Hotchkiss suspension, axle travel is usually less than as with tandems. Size the driveshaft to give about 1/2" free space upon full bottoming. Just make sure you have enough in there when unloaded and bouncing around so as not to have it come out!

    ...room. If things go well, I plan on painting a few green items in the next few weeks. Also next to the bumper braces is a rebuilt front driveshaft. I am not taking any chances with this lateral play issue I discovered while pulling myself under the truck on a creeper. When I greased it, the...

    M1009 Little Red Riding Hood.

    ...must store and walk around. Pictures to be posted later. Quick question if anyone knows. How much lateral play is acceptable in the front driveshaft at the slip joint? I noticed a small amount and greased the joint and it had gone away. I need to locate a slip joint cap seal. This slip joint...

    Grease fitting size?

    ...locks up. Check it out. This happened at 65 MPH on I 81 bad lockouts and ungreased CV joint. I had to beat the lock outs out of the front hubs. They were never releasing and turned the front driveshaft until it blew apart and broke everything including the flange on the rear of the transmission.

    Oil Pressure "LOW" ? 6.5L non-turbo

    The bfg baja tires are a civilian tread and far superior to goodyear in my opinion. Have you checked air pressure, tire balance?, shocks. Front end? Ujoints. Driveshaft? Thumping is not normal and I suspect not a tire issue

    LMTV M1078 Transmission oil confusion...please help!

    Only holds 7.5gallons total. The torque converter is still full of fluid. This is why there are multiple drains and refills to transfer from motor oil to atf.

    LMTV M1078 Transmission oil confusion...please help!

    ...after draining all of the oil from all locations, I only had about 5 gallons. This is only about half of what it should have. The rear driveshaft is missing, but I don't know how that would matter. Either way, I'll fill it and stop thinking about it. If it shows full, it's full. Thanks again...

    CUCV M1008 wobbling. Help needed

    ...have a 2015 GMC 2500 with 267K miles on it and it just keeps going. I the beginning when we bought it brand new I had my doubts. The front driveshaft broke off and punched a home in the floor during a big snow storm. But I never encountered any of the issues I continue to have with CUCV's and...

    What transfer case do I have?

    ...the front diff has a slightly different gear ratio than the rear diffs. so under normal operation (on pavement for example) the front driveshaft is turning slightly faster than the rear driveshaft, the front output in the transfer case has an overrunning clutch (sprag) so under normal...

    Manual transmission LMTV?

    if you are saying an allison is better, stronger, more reliable than an eaton fuller 10 or 13 speed in a similar application then you must be making a joke right? You wouldn't want to run the T138 it's a sprag unit. Not a good choice you will have to put air to it for forward select or rear...

    Manual transmission LMTV?

    ...need to be hydraulic. Shifter, I'm thinking Kenworth K100e cable set-up might work. With the 13 or 18 speed trans low would be 12:1 or lower, then low in the transfer case, where is the week link? I like that I could creep along at idle. But even that could twist a driveshaft or blow a rear.

    Advice Please: Planning 4L80 Conversion

    ...I was told I can use the existing shift linkage from the TH350, and gear box to the new 4 speed shifter I have. I would have to get one driveshaft shortened and the other lengthen locally myself. They recommend getting a GPS Style speedometer elsewhere. Was over $6200 shipped with taxes...
