Thank you. I read the thread. The part in question was the piston in picture #16. The link was perfect. I had forgotten which direction the seal went in.

Can you share some of those links that have information on rebuilding the short air pack?

I have a short air pack (new style) and can't find a diagram. I have a seal thatI am not sure which way it goes back in. I have the TM that shows the rebuild of the long style air pack. Just can't find any instructions for the short air pack.

Really???? You going to go there? No one has provided any rational explanation to what is going on. I guess you too are going to point the finger at the something without ever giving a logical explanation of how it can make the driveline jerk under load. How about this? How many times have you...

For the record, my truck has no springs, shackles or dogbones. I have a 4 link rear and a 3 link front with airbags. 18" vertical travel on the suspension. Shocks are custom built 19.5" stroke and set on an angle to gain additional travel. Each wheel can travel over 2 feet in articulation...

Many, many years ago I was at a tire shop that did work on tractors, forklifts, etc. They had a tire that was literally cut all the way from the tread to the bead. Inside was solid foam. The foam was a very dense rubber-like foam material. It definitely was not like the expanding foam insulation...

Can I get a count of how many times you guys have rebuilt a Spicer 3035 transmission?

Update, I was driving the truck on Friday and out of the blue, the truck suddenly doesn’t want to shift to 3rd. To get to third, I have to wind out 2nd before shifting. I can’t get it into 3rd on downshift. The truck does not slip out of 3rd. Also there is a loud squeak when allowing the truck...

Rusty... If you are so smart, explain to me why there is a pop and a surge in the drive line only under power when the drive shaft is completely removed...

Let me clarify... I pulled one axle shaft to see if the locker was making the popping noise. With one axle shaft removed, the locker will not ratchet (make a noise), and remain locked. The noise was still there. I then completely removed the rear drive shaft. Drove the truck with front axle...

If one forgets to turn the air off to the transfer case, how are they going to remember to disengage the air locker? With the added stress of a locker, there is a good chance to break axle shafts and u-joints. Without hub locks, there is no way to drive the truck with a broken u-joint. With the...

That is correct. Problem appeared after installing the rear locker and shafts. I had a detroit locker and stock shafts until i broke one of the stock shafts. I upgraded to the Ouverson 2" shafts which included a new locker.

I cleaned and checked the rear driveshaft splines and they look like new. I've even taken out the rear driveshaft and drove the truck using the front axle and problem still there.

Transmission and transfer case was completely dissasembled. Everything cleaned and inspected. All bearings that weren't replaced were cleaned, inspected and oiled before install. Checked the transfer case after 900 miles and transmission after 300 miles. No metal at all on the magnets.

I did that and can not duplicate the noise with no load. Parking brake is good & adjusted correctly.

I was hoping someone has had this problem before. I don't expect that there are any teeth missing since I've rebuilt everything except the engine, and there is no metal on the magnets. I think I'll take a bunch of vacuum hose and run it to various places and try to listen for the pops. Maybe I...

I run front & rear lockers in a Deuce that is converted to 4x4 but stock length. I run 53 inch tires and full hydro steering. I can't say if you will have steering problems as I can't notice any with my steering. I've forgotten to unlock my hubs before and driven quite a ways on the street and...

I can completely disengage the front driveline by unlocking my hubs and shutting off the air to the transfer case. This way nothing moves in the front driveline. The popping is still there. I also took the hubs off and inspected the bearings and brakes. tried the person walking/running next to...

There are no dogbones in this one. I have a single rear axle. The forum would have saved me a bunch of hassle, but I was in the dunes when I changed out the transmission seal and clutch. I did not have access to the internet. Thanks, I fixed the state.

I have a M35A2 that has been modified with one axle removed. I have been running it this way for a few years with no problem. Now there is a strange noise. There is a pop sound with a simultaneous jerk in the drive train. It happened about every 8 seconds at highway speed and under load. I have...
