A 2 foot 1/2" extension with a FLEX socket should get you close , I forget if I added another short extension on that , and you can drop the back of the tranny a bit . Be careful of the transmission ears ,they are not all that strong . Make sure the transmission is square to the back of the...
Great looking truck , looks to have all the big parts . That truck should have the later model trans , which is good . How is the electrical system , still 24 Volt ? You need to go thru the truck , axle seals , and bearings a must , brakes , only a single circuit master , very important . The...
Good catch , that could have got REAL ugly , I would check all of ends at this point . Not a bad job , just big , once you get the DB off , press out the old joint press in a new one . Some disassembly required .
In my state a HMMWV , if over 25 yrs. old would be registered and titled as a HX vehicle , all states have different rules , check your state DMV website too start , when it comes to DMV and MV's all bets are off when they look at your paperwork and get the deer in the headlight look .
NEVER by a vehicle WITHOUT proper ownership , it depends on your state , in my current state vehicles over 25 yrs. old are considered antique and get the cheap plate . They do require a title , again in this state anything 1973 and newer is titled , prior is just a registration. As far as having...
Get a temp.tag from the local DMV that the trailer is in . Show them your paperwork and bill of sale and any insurance documents if needed and away you go , AFTER you PM the trailer . You can tow the 105 with a pick up , just need a hitch extension for the pintle height and a set of magnetic...
Ya ,I got a trans jack from Harbor Freight , works great , I would recommend a good jack due to the off balance trans/tranfer case , or split the unit on the truck as Rich said . Just a word of caution , MAKE SURE you get the converter all the way on the splines on the front pump !!!! if it...
What vehicle are we talking about ? if it's a CUCV , don't think they have a removable floor plate . Anything else , mostly . If it is a CUCV (400 trans) from the bottom with a tranny jack , on the ground or do you have a Lift ? I have done it both ways , up in the air IS much easier ...
Aberdeen Pic's
Some pictures from Aberdeen , scored some good stuff , (nice medium tow bar) I think weather reports kept some dealers away . Picked up a set of tires for the Mule , I was look for Dave K for some mule parts but he was a no show . Good time was had by all , Arrived Wednesday and...
Charles Talbert ,of M series Rebuilds has been doing the 4BT repower for years , might want to give him a call . IMHO , If I were doing the repower I would go with the Cummings .
Wreckerman , ya I do agree with you when REALITY sets in , LOTS of TLC on that bad boy , and a 20 TON money pit , BTW ,have you been talking to my wife ? LOL
You really need to get your MV to somebody who KNOWS what they are LOOKING at . Lotsa stuff to look at under there and it is difficult to for us on SS to offer a diagnosis without looking at the vehicle . BTW , that would be a NO GO on skipping a tooth on your steering gear box , power steering...
I agree , man o man , you know I offered to check his vehicle out , got a open bay in the barn , get his hands dirty , I would explain what PM's and TM's are , he needs to make the first move . bob k
Reservation Land , Well that explains a LOT , Tribal lands , sovereign nation , most state and federal rules do not apply , ask me how I know . That's why NO DOT check . The tribal police have jurisdiction.
