Was it targeted because it was military, or just a random act? :-x

Is there really a problem with dust when spraying water?

There was so much steel in the pumpkin, it plugged the drain hole when I first took the plug out. . .

Here's one more pic of the old axle, we found this after we slid the axle out from under the truck

some pic of the gears:

Thanks G, after we looked at the gears we figured they would work but we had a heck of a time figuring how to support the truck, until we remembered our jig from our cam repair last year, it seems to be a universal jig/jack for everything!!! :razz:

Question: I have a Deuce with a bad front differential will the third member from a rear axle work in the front axle location? or is it reverse rotation like in a standard 4x4? Searching for "third member" didn't work as did other combo's Thanks, Ed
