I don't stop at them. I am not performing commercial work and my GVWR is not over 26K lbs. So I really don't think it is an issue. I blew right by them from Atlanta to Dallas on I-20 and didn't even raise an eyebrow. Heck I wouldn't know what to do if I did stop at one. I'd feel awful goofy...

I got my deuce there. They are in pretty good shape. Mine ran and runs good but it DID have a hole in the t-case. Other than that it was in great shape. The guy at the site told me that all those trucks run when I called to check on them before I bid on mine. Some of them look kind of rough...

Sorry to hear about Sarafan. Guess I got the last of the good out of them. The first time I needed them they were awesome. I think the last time I needed them they were... well, not so much. Guess Mike is getting out of the business. Memphis has been pretty good but I think a shade...

Kenny, I actually took the wheel cylinders off and checked them out. They looked brand new. So they went back together and will go back on the truck with a new flex break hose/line. The retaining ring is up inside the axle housing. It holds a seal that separates the gear oil in the axle from...

I was almost to the place in the movie where I would go down the path Bjorn mentioned in his article. However, the boys down at NAPA talked me into the slide hammer. Theirs was $70 instead of the Pep Boy $100 special. Besides it's cooler to have NAPA on the case than Pep Boys. Anyway within...

SLIDE HAMMER GOOD!!!!!

I bought the slide hammer. Wish me luck.

I have begun the Front Axle Service. I have all all torn apart now and the old seal pushed back into the axle. It's been a whale of a morning. NOW I can't get the DANG retaining ring out. I used a six inch gear puller with the grabber fingers turnd out and leveraged it against a peice of 1"...

OK Guys. I have a mess of parts on the way from Memphis. Cone Bearings, Cups, Seals, Gaskets, Break Shoes, Wheel Cylinder rebuild kit. I even ordered the ball kit for the CV joint type axles. That's what they showed in the Memphis Equipment catalog. Yes you guessed it I had not read Bjorns...

I wrote all this before I realized how old this thread was. However, since I wrote it all I’m posting it dangit….. I am from Huntsville, Madison and Decatur. Grew up there until I was 23 and live in Texas now. Alabama is home. So I am familiar with your logistics situation. Everything you...

Thanks Gerhard, Ken and Bjorn, This is all a very big help and is easing my anxiety. Uhhh some. At least I am now anxious to get into it. Just have to get the flag stone laid for the wife so I can get back to the truck. You know the old "points" system. This is great information and I'll...

Negative. Didn't back up on dry ground loaded in 6X6. But based on your note I'll take it that this would be bad and never do it in the future. I was just looking at a blow up of the front axle in my Memphis Equipment Parts Manual. This is going to suck. The parts manual doesn't show if I...

Thanks Gerhard, I was working at nearly maximum angle when I heard the noise but I have the air shift T-case. The noise was just a quick one when the front end (at nearly max angle) transitioned from the road in to the driveway which had and uphill angle from the road. I went out a few...

Friday I used the deuce to actually do some work. Drove it about 80 miles round trip to acquire some flagstone for around the house. Why go 80 Miles for flagstone?..... Cause it was free and gave me a great excuse to work/drive the deuce. Also that much flagstone would have squashed my...

That's a good looking truck. How fast does it go with those big tires? I've been relutant to change out my NDT's but those look good and all indications are that they increase your top speed some. Congratulations on your new truck! Feels great don't it!!!

Thanks DG. Figured it would be something semi simple but your help is just what I needed. I'll go out and futz with it in a bit and send back a report.

I went in to drop my Pickup off at the shop where I keep the deuce to have the rear axle seals replaced just a minute ago. But that's not what I came to talk about..... When I started the deuce to drive it home since I left the pickup at the shop and needed a way home.... The air pressure...

About 3 hours and 41 minutes south of you in North Miami Beach there is an outfit called Sarafan Equipment. I havn't priced a whole truck there but they are good on parts prices. Check em out. SHould be waaayyy less than Clark or Memphis Equipment. There are still a few listed on the...

Check with Sarafan in South Florida. Very fair deals and willing to talk through the situation with you. Saved me a bunch on a transfercase over Memphis Equipment. I still use Memphis for seals and hard to find stuff but for bigger things that I need to save on these guys are great...

Mine had a hole in the front of the of the T-case when I got it. I haven't really run it in 6X6 except to test in a parking lot. Seemed to work OK. I have had the front end up before and tested the case engagement making sure the wheels rotated in opposite directions when engaged. So I know...
