    First M35A2c road trip!

    Just a suggestion but take hwy 71 and not interstate 49. When you first go south. There’s only a couple hills this way and less of a chance of getting ran over. Whatever gear it takes to climb you need to be at least that gear going down or one lower. It will be a lot slower that way but if you...

    First M35A2c road trip!

    I’m curious is the truck in question yellow? Other than that you have everything down. If you have problems reach out I’m nearby fortsmith. I have a gooseneck if you’re in a bind. If you don’t have dot5 orellys is the only place around here that has it in stock.

    MK48 LVS Need Hydraulics Help - Motion Control Valve

    Few things to check. Make sure the aux hydraulics selector valve is pushed in. Either the brakes have to be release or put in drive to actuate yaw steering. Or start the truck and turn off the power/ ignition switch. It takes power to turn the steering off. You can try driving it and turning...

    T138 jumping out of gear - fixed

    Where in the east coast? The shaft I worked on didn’t require a preload. From what big mikes told me you rarely have to change the shim pack. I still ordered shims just cause you never know. I still don’t have confidence in my build just because I’ve never done it before. It I’m just gonna keep...

    T138 jumping out of gear - fixed

    Made some progress finally drove it and pulled a trailer the following day. I’ve determined for mine the high range gear and synchro were worn. I could have maybe just changed the synchro and been fine but I decided to fix anything that didn’t look right. The Input shaft os the only shaft not...

    MPG vs HP Compromise

    For the most part I drive 45, going up hills I just let the transmission do the work. The first time I drove mine on a trip I was driving 60-65 and got about 4mpg. After that I stopped driving on the floor and went off rpm’s and tried to stay around 1600-1800. If I’m on the interstate I drive...

    T138 jumping out of gear - fixed

    So far from all the info I’ve gotten is the synchro and high range gear need replacing. I found one bearing on the hi range gear that feels different than the others so I’m going to just replace the pair with that gear. Havnt looked at the other shafts, might as well since their out. Gonna pull...

    T138 jumping out of gear - fixed

    Everything’s original on it. But it would move as I added more torque going down the road. If I let off quick it would pop out. But it would go to neutral it was between neutral and in gear. I’d have to shift to neutral and back to high if rolling down the road. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    The fork is wearing because I’ve had to hold the selector in high. I’m just trying to figure out why it won’t stay. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    T138 jumping out of gear - fixed

    My Tcase has been popping out of gear on a hard acceleration/ deceleration or hitting a pretty good bump. It’s slightly not resistant to this when it warms up. I was told the synchro was going bad and needing changed. I got the tcase split but I don’t really know what I’m looking for since I...

    If you have an engine out the last thing you want to do is increase drag. You have to have the gear down that also creates drag. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
