    203 transfer case questions

    Swapping out 203's! Those cases are HEAVY! The capacity is listed in the TM's (which can be downloaded from this site. 2 or 3 quarts should get you there. In 78 Dodge started specifiing 10w30w for the 203's. IIRC, I have read that 10w30 was a better choice, performance wise. I have only used...

    too much bandwidth required

    1st 3 already listed in the screen shot speedtest download results consistent with above stated 256k DSL and all those items are irrelevant to the issue of it being related to this particular web site. Yes I know my computers are old & slow with poor visibility just like my Deuces. I just don't...

    too much bandwidth required

    Ummm, I listed two others forums with ads and lots of content that load 3 times faster than SS and show correctly on a little old monitor. But it's my system that makes SS take 3 times as long, with everything stacked on top of everything because there is no side to side scroll bar...

    too much bandwidth required

    It typically takes at least 30 seconds to load a page here. While over at G503.com pages take 8 to 10 seconds to load same PC, same ISP connection, two browser windows open (not tabs). Funny thing is g503 opens up and is actually viewable with a standard crt monitor and resolution settings that...

    too much bandwidth required

    my internet connection is only an issue with websites that cram too many ads and other crap, causing some users to experience excessive waits. Then say, "it's your problem, you should upgrade" I can still view most web sites without the slowness issue of places like this who think everyone has...

    Thunder Over Michigan, August 10-11, 2013

    Understandable, The Wings Over Gaylord Show doesn't have the attendance numbers required to get the Thunderbirds. Although the Michigan MVPA is already committed to participating and co-ordinating Historic Military Vehicles for the Gaylord show. The Yankee B-25 and/or B-17 will be missed in...

    problem with all lights

    A M886 I had would drain the battery after a few days, never did figure that out. (Although I never really tried) I just always disconnected the battery. Need to check connections, power wire rubbing on metal with bad insulation is a possibility. I have several of these trucks and found over...

    Anybody got M880 restoration tips?

    If you are pulling the body from the frame for a restoration, why wouldn't you pull the front clip apart anyway?

    Xm889

    While checking out the extended cab "It's Not a M880" I thought it could be called a XM889, so I googled it first and found this NSN created in March of 1979 2320-01-073-7897 ( XM889, W300, 01-073-7897 ) I'm still searching for a pic of this beast. The M880 series were only 1976 & 1977 model...

    DOT3 or DOT5?

    It's a 77 Dodge pickup, no air pack, rebuilt wheel & master cylinders are generally cheaper than the rebuild kits at the autoparts store.
