Can you PM me details on them, etc.? Everything is tied up in my other truck at the moment, but I can plan ahead on yours if it works for me to buy them from you in the future.

I really like those videos.....It's like we're there! If you could only see my stupid grin when you throttled up and she responded like a snapping turtle. Lucky truck!

Thanks guys. I hope to finish up my other truck this summer and then start on this truck. Time for me to learn about these transmissions now.

I think you should. If you have never driven one, they are a different animal. I'm probably 6'3" tall and these are by far the most comfortable trucks for me to fit in.

Well I'm 6'4" so I can use all the room I can get.

Then you know what I am talking about. My knees hit the steering wheel when shifting an M35, M54, M813,etc. I just sit back and enjoy the ride in the G749 series.
I'm not sure why the military designed most of their vehicles for short guys.

I found that the rear main seal is the usual culprit when the starter is full oil if you take the plug out of the flywheel cover that helps. good luck I just pull the engine to change the rear main seal in mine so far so good.

Neat! Can you post pictures of replacing that seal? Sounds like I am going to need to do it in the near future.

I took a look but I didn't take any pictures of that step of the project I did follow the directions to a T and talk with a 82 yr old engine builder that's still has his machine shop he had some good tips.
