There is an open source app called PDFTK that allows you to get one page. Imagemagik is also an open source package that can convert the PDF file to jpg, png, tiff etc.
Saturn and Colmans are probably the highest priced for parts. Diesel is just under $4 a gallon so I would shop around for best prices if you want to keep it fed.
Your truck could spin a bearing, shoot a rod or snap a crank tomorrow. Colemans warranty covers that?
If funds are not a issue...
So you paid $1600 more than a GL deuce, it needs a new temp gauge, pioneer rack, j-pipe and no title, no cold weather starting unit (do you live in pa?) Deduct $300 for no cargo bows.
Plus it 'fired up real fast' becuase they spent the entire morning trying to get it to start. I would have...
I entered the SF-97 info, but should I get a receipt? A notice that it was submitted? I can check my CC... but is there anything that says I submitted for an SF-97 and they are processing it???
Never mind.. and THANKS!!!
Found the VIN stamping on the *LEFT* side 0225 14770.
Although I did find this:

"Tom, if you would like to PM me with the numbers you've found, I can tell you which (if any) are the VIN. I can...
Thats the one.
Should I be worried that 0225-14770 is not stamped anywhere?
I had the State Police out last time to verify the vin on my CCKW and he would not accept a data plate, he needed a frame number.
I don't want to put down a vin that I can't have 'validated' if PASP looks for it.
I already submitted what i could to CARNAC, but seeing that I have a a somewhat original 66 the other VIN threads are not matching exactly...
So, just in front of the left shock mount (some numbers are actually covered by the bracket I see:
36-19-R
XX-29-66 I read XX as a '10'.. I can...
Buuutttt...
These ARE NOT Meritor built trannys!
They are Rockwell units that originally used GL-1, then GL-5. The only reason Meritor lists them is because they got them via acquisition. Even the Manual (MM3.pdf) that they refer to in the 2010 MM1.pdf is a straight up Rockwell document...
It is a convoluted mess.
Please re-read pages 176-179 and see what I mean.
Within those 3 pages it says:
Meritor does not approve petroleum-based and multiviscosity
oil.
Use only SAE Grade 50W synthetic oil in the transfer case.
* Do not use multi-viscosity (i.e., 80/90W) GL-5 gear oil...
GL-1 does not exist. Napa et al is selling an oil that cannot by GL-1 becuase the NGLI does not recognize it as such. In order to be called a certain specification, it has to be tested by an authorized testing center. The NGLI web says says that GL-1 cannot be tested because the machines that...

Here is the 1987 Rockwell (logos and all) transfer case disassembly guide.
For lube type, it references Rockwell Field Maintenance Manual #1.
Who has FMM1 or are you going to say that http://www.meritorhvs.com/MeritorHVS_Documents/MM1.PDF...
So my 76 parts manual lists the transfer case as a Rockwell. That clears that up, the site has some older information (maybe get an update?).
So, Meritor buys Rockwell. Whats the Meritor PN for the Rockwell T-136 transfer case?
PLUS if you reread the MM1 pdf it CLEARLY shows the that the 'no...
I did find this:
1997
Rockwell International spins off its automotive business, creating Meritor Automotive.
Then
2011
ArvinMeritor completes the divestiture of its light vehicle business in January 2011 and officially changes the name of the company back to Meritor - signifying a...
Ok, Page 176 is the chapter header. Page 179 (that people are saying is proof to not use GL-5 does not specify in any way the T136 transfer case.
Meritor != TImken. Part numbers are not matching up. What is the Meritor TC number of the case installed in my 66?
Again, how are you guy...
Because improper information is being put out.
The original transfer cases were Timken T136-21 Sprag Type; Timken T136-27 Air shift
The original transfer cases, since the mid 80's have run GL5 with absolutely no problem.
Now everyone is reverting to PRE-1980's GL-1, or even more funny...
But you are using Manufacturer 'B's instructions for Manufacturer 'A's gear.
On top of that, the M35 transfer case does not get 250F+ to warrant synthetic oil.
PLUS you are not realizing the history of 20+ years of GL-5 oil in 300,000+ trucks.
You are not ignoring anything, you simple have it...
You post a random scrap of paper and yell "EUREKA!".
First, this is NOT an ARMY LUBE ORDER. I don't think the Army is going to dump every gallon of GL5 they have over your random scrap of paper.
SECOND, please read page 176, or for those that missed itL:
Most Meritor transfer cases can...
