Running good but leaking gear oil from trans!

Overfilled?????

Here's the link to the Lube Order for the Deuce. This .pdf includes the type of lubricant (80/90 weight gear oil for the transmission, for instance), the capacity, and the fill location for everything on the truck.

Still getting gear oil from the fording plug!!

That may mean engine oil.........the fording plug is ahead of the transmission. Could be rear main seal........keep an eye on it. If the clutch starts slipping you may have to spray brake cleaner up in there to keep the clutch operating until you get home.

Color of oil? Hang in there.

[Capt.Marion]

Nice job getting her home! Probably the smoothest recovery I've seen in a while. The blow-by-blow updates from your phone were a nice touch, too. Enjoy your truck, and thanks to WM for facilitating this gentleman's entree into the hobby, too!
