You still picking it up tomorrow?

So I think the center section is ok, I see a slight bit of movement in the driver's side axle shaft as it takes up whatever slack is on that side when turning the input. Passenger side, as stated previously, spins freely so the problem is from that u-joint outboard.

I'll be in town the 18th if there's anything I can do. I can also offer a place to leave it if it ends up needing to sit at some point.

I'll be stopping by there later today and will see what I can do.

People think they are gold up here. It's rare to see one listed for under $10k (I say rare but I don't recall ever seeing a 939 that cheap). $15k-$20k is pretty normal so it's not even that much of an outlier.

I don't see the price listed anywhere, but I'll say that 5 tons in Alaska go for crazy money. I bought one in WA state when govliq still did it and after barging it up to AK and driving it home it was still less than half the cost of a beat up and ragged out one would go for up here. It's...

The gov planet rep does say that in normal drive (without selecting mode), the front t-case output is what's spinning. He's worried the front diff might be bad is why that front shaft is out of it though.

I didn't look at the stuff in question before, but I glanced over the truck before and IIRC it looked clean enough I could believe the mileage.

The gov planet guy really is a nice guy, and he should be the one that did that listing too. I'm actually poking around the LMTV side because he wants to make sure this truck is ready for XCRV and was asking me what I knew about it. I'm going to steal a little thunder from XCRV here and...

Thank you, much appreciated.

Does anyone know what the lug pattern is on the M720 Shelter Dolly? I didn't come up with anything in a search. They look like they're 5x5 or 5x5.5 but I haven't been able to measure one to see.

I haven't dealt with Gov Planet in places that don't, but GL I was able to ask and find out. The Gov Planet really helpful to me so far so I imagine if you inquired about the bases you were looking to purchase from they would find out for you.

You can get #1 diesel still, but it wouldn't surprise me at all if stations in that area tried to skimp out becuase it costs more and they can get more profit by charging #1 price for treated #2. The labled #1 we get in AK won't gel untreated at -50F. I did a little experiment and filled a...

Diesel engines don't really run lean. Or more precisely, they are always running as lean as they can since airflow isn't regulated, only fuel flow.

Presence of fuel might not neccessarily indicate enough of it to run. I don't suppose you opened the hood and put your hand near the motor to see exactly how hot the motor felt? With electric temperature guages it could still potentially be an electrical reason that you saw the high reading.

He mentions around 3:45 along the lines of they think they broke something in the transfercase trying to get it out earlier.

If one drum was incredibly hot, that would indicate the sticking one in my mind. Just saying... Even if another one is sticking some, that one difinately is.

Dead ahead is when the tires are pointing directly towards the front, as in going straight.

It says when the steering is dead ahead and turning the steering wheel would make it not be dead ahead, right? I'm not near my truck to look at the adjustment on the ram to give a better response right now.
