I did an oil change today. The new GP Module is working great and thanks Antennaclimber for all the extra assistance!
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Watch that bugger! If it's the driveshaft, you can trash your transfer case pretty quickly. I wrecked a transmission that way a couple of years ago.The truck ran fine but has a wicked driveline vibration from 40-45. I have to deal with that because it is pretty bad.
Look into the copper-nickel alloy stuff. More flexible than steel, and more corrosion resistant than stainless. I plan to do mine in the near future.I looked underneath and discovered the hard brake line from the coupler at the middle of the vehicle back to the rear axle valve had ruptured due to rust. I;m stranded here till my sister in law gets back in the morning, then it's off to the parts store for some bulk hard line.
I think my vibration has to do with the fact three of the bolts that hold the trans to the engine fell out and the other three snapped off. That is why I had the engine out, and to fix a bunch of other stuff. I think it warped the flex plate. I should have replaced it but I plan to install a 700R4 later and didn't want to buy 1 now and then have to buy the R4 flex plate later. Oh well, live and learn. Guess I will have to pull the trans and replace it after all.Watch that bugger! If it's the driveshaft, you can trash your transfer case pretty quickly.

I had the same thing happen a few weeks ago. I noticed the brakes felt weak and the pedal was closer to the floor than I remembered- popped the cover and…hey, where did all the brake fluid go? I’m watching it right now.I traveled 240 miles in the 1031 SECM over the weekend for an MVPA event. Several things that happened include losing almost all the DOT 5 from the front of the master cylinder (unresolved)...
Replaced the wood liner on the tailgate of the contact truck. The original wood had been dry rotted, carriage bolts could not be tightened as the holes were rounded out. No more sag. But need to replace the chains as they are rusted and causing the tailgate to dip to the left. All new hardware too as the bolts were quite rusty. The aluminum shell needed some slight work too.[/
What did you use, regular plywood? Need to replace mine too and I'm thinking of using a composite product because of the exposure to the elements. Plywood cracks, develops splinters, and compresses under the weight of the vise.
