All fluid Levels

[MilitaryRestoration]

Where can I find where it gives all the fluid levels for the deuce...ie differential, xsfer case, transmission
According to GL they drained everything out of my truck in French Camp.

on the dash plate........

The LO is exactly what you need.

 

[MilitaryRestoration]

That wont give me what the differentials take and what not though does it....and also what type do they all take as well...

What is 'LO'

 

[gimpyrobb]

Lubrication Order. I don't know for sure but, 5 gal oil, 5 gal coolant, and for trans+Tcase+axles close to 10gal gear oil. I'm sure someone will give you exact measurements soon, but this is close.

 

[MilitaryRestoration]

Awesome thats what i needed...an idea...exact would be nice too and what type of tcase, transmission, and diff oil as well....Thank You Gimpyrobb

 

[MilitaryRestoration]

Wow never mind on exacts, i completely read over the "Lo's" in the TM section. Just need to know if all the 'types' will be understood by someone say at Napa etc...

 

[gimpyrobb]

Lets see if I got this right,
Crancase 22qts
Transmission(with pto) 8.5 pts
Power divider(Tcase?) 3.5 qts
Differential 6qts each
Bfs (brake fluid silicone) I'd say bring a gallon, couldn't find spec.
Radiator I couldn't find
This is just what I could find, that does not mean I am correct. Your milage may vary.

The radiator is about 5 gallons and the engine about 3, for a total of about 8 gallons. When filling the radiator, open one of the pipe plugs near the thermostat on the engine side to vent air.
I use distilled water, glycol and 2 pints of additive... Do a search on this particular subject if you have any further questions, lots of hits....

All gear boxes,GL-1 Rated 90W oil.Do not use GL5 unless it is yellow metal safe.Napa has GL-1 and even cost a little less than GL5.

Engine 15W40 oil

Brakes Dot 5 silly-cone(Do not buy Dot 5.1 not the same)

Coolant.6-8 gallons of 50/50 mix water coolant.Make sure the coolant is Mack rated.Do not use "Car" stuff.Buy the big rig coolant.Plus Test strips and a couple bottles of SCA/DCA Anti-cavitation junk.

 

[FreightTrain]

oh yea,You will need 2-5 gallon buckets of gear oil.....5.5gallons of 15W40,Several bottles(Think I used 4 or 5 CHA CHING!Ouch) of brake fluid(if your gonna flush it),4 gallon jugs of big rig coolant,4 gallons of distilled water and 2 bottles of DCA/SCA additive.

 

[Manstein]

What is the difference on the "Mack" rated coolant vs car stuff?

 

[emmado22]

8 pints for the tranny? I think not...

 

[jasonjc]

Diesel coolant has/needs diferant additive than a gas eng coolant. If you do a search it is cover real well by cranetruck and how to test the additives , a must read.

Get your self a hand pump for the 5 gal buckets of grear lube. They are like $20 and well woth it. Almost a must have. You can do it with out but you will not like it.

 

[FreightTrain]

Diesels cavitate due to high compression where the toy engines don't.The Cylinder walls actually bow out into the coolant jacket and snap back to normal size.when this happens a vaccumn bubble forms on teh outside and colapses.The sudden pressure change creates a shock wave and the coolant jackhammers it's way though the wall over time.Old IHC/Ford 7.3L IDI engines were BAD about this.most usually died at 100K but some have passed on after 20-30K and some less.

 

[OD_Coyote]

FWIW - I have read some bad things about the new CJ-4 rated low emissions diesel motor oil related excessive wear on engines with flat tappets, so you may want to use an oil additive like ZDDP+, SFR 100 or D-SOL or see if you can find the coveted CI-4 rated oil.

 

[MilitaryRestoration]

According to the 'Lo' I am supposed to put 15w-40 into the transmission....that is not correct is it?
