Montaillou, your mechanic is wrong! :-) No severe off roading needed. All you need to do is pull over on a highway and sink all three wheels on the passenger side into soft ground, over the hubs . 3 spinning, 3 stopped. Truck leaning over to the passenger side. Game over.
Will air lockers save...
W/w truck? If yes, it should have two extra leafs. They did not always add them when a truck received a winch later in life.
If it was me, I would jack up the front, remove both spring packs and have them repaired and re-arched at a truck/spring shop. I can't tell from the pics with all the...
If you look into the exhaust manifold you will see that there is a middle divider. If you drill dead center that is what you hit. Look at the turbo gasket...it also shows that divider.

You can do it without...a pipe wrench or adjustable wrench can also work...but easiest is the wrench set.
As for the procedure...the pulley on the air compressor is two halves. The...
FWIW, I am so happy that Tom made this kit and made me believe that I could actually install it (and I could!). One of the best mods ever for my truck. I put this ahead of power steering and expensive tire upgrades, personally. The quality is outstanding and the driveability is greatly improved.
Before we tear shreds off each other, perhaps it is worth asking whether there even exists the one right answer to the question asked about which gear oil is best for the Spicer 3053A transmission. It may well be that there are several options that are not easily distinguished being "better" or...
Perhaps this helps: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?99130-Starter-Relay-help
You could just get a heavy duty start button from a tractor supply store and hook that up until you get a proper replacement. You can start the truck by shorting the wires but remember that, although the...
Yes, jhoot1970, the shop van has the same multifuel engine as the regular M35A2, so the same parts will work. You also get a gold star for resurrecting a long-dead thread! 2012...not bad!
Not with the stock inner seals, you won't. They are not designed to keep oil in (that is why gear oil that leaks past the outer seal runs down on the inside of the rims after a shortcut through the brake drums. The inner seals keep dirt out and grease in, that's about it. If it was as simple as...
It is easy to go a bit overboard, especially when one is somewhat detail oriented. How hot is "hot"?
Here is my suggestion: If you go for a high speed drive, about 30-45 min, (highway is best so you are not on the brakes all the time) and then check the hubs and you can leave your bare hand on...
Counted teeth.
21 on the coarse big wheel
26 on the finer big wheel
Does that help in identifying whether it will fit onto a Spicer?

Thank you. Well, the person I bought it from appears knowledgeable and said it was a rear facing Deuce PTO. When I saw it, I was not so sure, and looking at pictures did not really help me.
I got what I think is a rear facing transfer case PTO for the deuce. It's a Chelsea/Parker.
Can somebody identify/verify?

The issue:
You have a cool headlight but it has the dark IR glass lens. You do not really drive with IR goggles on, so the feature is useless. You want a clear light instead.
This is the dual lamp version. See the dark IR lens on the left:
(Picture not mine; thanks, interweb)
The lens is...
