I'm just happy it's not the motor. I'm going to look for the link referring to the flywheel bolts. Thanks again for your help.

I'm just happy it's not the motor. I'm going to look for the link referring to the flywheel bolts. Thanks again for your help.
The biggest question now is; “what caused those bolts to shear off”?so the mechanic pretty much took everything apart here and notice the shared bolts off the flywheel they feel that fixing this will get the truck started and it's worth a shot what do you guys think and thank you so much for all the help this has been a fun nightmare.
Exactly!The biggest question now is; “what caused those bolts to shear off”?
all those questions are valid and you know what I really do not know as I do not know the history on this vehicle when it was told here it came on a pretty large flatbed but the problem is it came to my Construction company and it was offloaded without me even seeing it. I'm just crossing my fingers that it can be fixed without the cost going up too much I really need this vehicle for my farm in Jamaica.The biggest question now is; “what caused those bolts to shear off”?
Have you flat towed the truck with the brakes cages? I’m wondering if there’s a problem in the transmission or drive train that caused this? Did some knucklehead try to recover this vehicle and cause this damage through improper procedure?

Once you get those old bolts out make sure the inside diameter & threads were not compromised.all those questions are valid and you know what I really do not know as I do not know the history on this vehicle when it was told here it came on a pretty large flatbed but the problem is it came to my Construction company and it was offloaded without me even seeing it.

I’m curious, if you know, Once loose, what causes all the bolts to shear at the same time? Initial torque on start up? Sudden acceleration? I can’t imagine that these bolts will all back out, or loosen, to a certain point and then shear. Interesting.Been a common problem for years.
They were not torqued properly and no loctite was used. The trucks have vibrations anyway due to the hubs and driveshaft problems.
Loose Flex Plate Bolts
So from now on all LMTV's that come through my shop will get the flex plate bolts replaced torqued and lock-tighted. The US army must not own torque wrenches as this has happened with great frequency.www.steelsoldiers.com
Most automatic transmission trucks with vibrations they tend to walk back the bellhousing bolts causing the bellhousing to crack or fall off the engine.
Hopefully that is the end of your major repairs!Guess what guys. The 6x6 is alive..
I hope so I'm just trying to find the glass for the doors and all the locking mechanism and it should be good to go.Hopefully that is the end of your major repairs!
