    What is better (oil or trans fluid)

    It would be nice if there was a way to flush the tranny. When I change the fluid on my civy trucks I take them to a local 4x4 shop and they hook it up to a machine that circulates the old fluid out, then runs a cleaner through, then the new tranny fluid. I would have to imagine that that process...

    I think they are saying the same thing, battery switch is shut off last.

    Baffled by Brakes

    Well I am thoroughly impressed, I rigged up a power bleeder and it worked after the first try! All my life I have been able to bleed brakes either by gravity or with another person pressing the pedal but this truck ended that streak. The power bleeder is the way to go!

    Baffled by Brakes

    I have read a bunch of threads about the deuce brake system but my situation is rather odd. I have a deuce that had perfectly working brakes but the brake lights didn't work. I replaced the sensor that activates the brakes (it's the type that screws into the front of the air pack) and in doing...

    Mn guys dmv ****.... Help

    I would just tell them you decided to sell the truck and demand all your paperwork back (sf-97) and take it to the White Bear DMV. I would also pay the extra $20 and 'fasttrack" it and you will have a title in 2-3 days.

    395/85/20 do they rub

    I think it depends which rims you use also, if you go with stock deuce rims they will rub on the steering drag link at full right turns. I have mine on modified HEMTT rims and have not got them to rub anywhere. I think A3 rims work just as good also.

    Ouverson axle shaft but no thrust washer?

    I ran the stock replacements in my mud truck the first year and just put them in as is, no need to add a washer. IIRC the yoke portion is a little longer so it ends where the washer would be on a stock shaft.

    FYI the transfer case engages automatically to drive the front axle on these 5 tons, you probably wouldn't even have noticed it if it is working properly.

    Fuel line seems to have an air gap.

    I think a few bubbles is normal, I see it in mine all the time.

    Michigan to Austin Minnesota

    That sounds like a better idea than trying to get that trailer to hook onto a deuce. Good luck with your recovery.

    5 Ton GL Title?

    Do they send you an actual title or an SF-97 form? I know some states are different.

    Stupid question

    Nope, no need to drain oil, even sitting overnight will drain the oil back to the pan. It should be a fairly simple swap.
