Have had issue with starter/solenoid for 2 years. I believe my solenoid is dead. I have removed multiple times, cleaned, bent tested and always works great for few weeks after reinstalling. this time it is not even a click or anything. Can I just replace the solenoid with one from Napa? If...

Broken driver side front axle (long side) on the spline. chunk still in the Yukon locker. removed stub and will eventually get the other piece out. Maybe I will upgrade to the Ouverson shafts/hubs on the front since that is what does 70% of the work off-road. I was barely even moving, in the...

I replaced all my torque rod bushings 2 years ago. I drive my truck pretty dang hard off road. Most of my busing are pretty toast. I tested the play with a crow bar today and lots of rubber separation and movement. Question 1: Is it worth buying the steel press in ball joint looking ones...

I tried pulling a 40' connex with the winch yesterday. Prior to hooking the big winch up I used my 8k warn electric. The 8k warn did a better job. I remember someone else complaining about no power with the front winch on these big trucks. Thinking about redoing the valves as well. Not very...

Last year my truck lost some power. I can't really get the RPMS up to go into 5th gear. Not sure if it was combination of 395 tires and camper but it all seemed to happen about the same time and I really noticed it when I added the camper. Although it catches lots of wind it is not very...

I scored a 12v manual donor truck this weekend. It even starts and drives. this will be a first project of this kind for me, but there is lots of information out there so I think I will survive. Maybe slow and painful, but I look forward to learning something new on the rebuild and m35...

Well, I have had the deuce for little over a year now. Very enjoyable. One issue is that my front lugs and hub bolts keep coming loose. It has got to the point I check them with a tool ALMOST everytime I come out of the backcountry. I got the truck with one broken hub bolt. I took it on a...

Few items I have adapted for the deuce, new paint (not great but it was fun) added rear receiver for winch, 40a 24-12v converter, lights, chargers, camper, wood stove, roof top lookout for spotting (13' to top of roof), easy to load up and remove when done

Hello folks! At first I thought I was seeing things now I am sure.. each time I park my 6x the rear axles are always a good 4 inches to the drivers side. al hard to tell when I am driving if I changes. Normal? No big deal? Any thoughts? I have had a few friends behind me while on the road...

Got parts home this weekend for power steering. Power steering pump, steering box and arms off a 5ton. See what happens. I currently have a homemade power assist on my truck from previous owner with a gmc power steering belt pump ( not hooked up). I am not sure what the plan was or why it...

I received a pump today in the mail I purchased. The housing is binding as I try to tighten bolts and the gasket is torn. How much force is needed to install the housing ? I just bought this part and have never taken one apart or put together but I feel like it is a much tighter fit than...

I scored a 5ton with about 600 miles on it. An older gentleman that stores his boat at my place said I could have it for trade out. I am excited. He got it new drove it on construction project for a few months drove it to the lot. Next day went to start it and it didn't start. No fuel...

got one! 165 mile trip home. coolant leak, one rear flat tire, everything else ran great. All way up to 58ish. fuel consumption was not to shabby either. time to start learning.

Hello. I just hauled a CCKW to my yard (free) and washed 40 years of moss and leaves off. Anyhow, my plan is to turn it into a hunting truck here in AK. Any reason to not use this platform with 42'' tires? I like the lighter weight compared to a M35a2 that I was contemplating building off...
