Thanks HDN, after posting this I went on the hunt to find the culprit. Damn wasp had plugged the breather line

Ah! Checked the oil in the 1545 transmission and fluid came shooting out! It wasn't overfilled before, after driving it, the fluid became pressurized

Ahhhhhh! Got my deuce back, everything seemed fine. About an hour drive home, during the drive it had a bit of a hard shift into 4th. Kind of made a bit of a clunk sound.. When I got home I checked the transmission fluid and it came out with enough force it hit me in the face! What's going on...

I do know that after reconnecting it, I hear a rattle from the one way baffle that is inside of it. A slight pinging sound, I had to investigate.. and it was a little metal flap. Not a fan of the rattling sound, but I do like having things hooked upto where they are supposed to be.

Thanks for the pic and the info. There are grease zerks on the both the top and bottom guards. I had a suspicion that they were studs and not bolts. Are these axles not quite the same as a regular 2.5t Rockwell axle? Are the studs only used on where the steering arm is connected?

So.. I contacted Western Canadian Rockwell. I asked them about their guards fitting on the deuce. They mentioned the steering arm on the drivers side, and that it would need a custom part made. If that was something I was interested in, they would go ahead and figure out a cost and time frame...

Longer bolts shouldn't be hard to find.. I am going to see what the mechanic says tomorrow when I bring it in. Hopefully he can just wave his magic wand and get them put on for me.

I doubt I will ever technically need them.. but to be honest, I would bullet proof the entire truck if I could. Better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it I figure. Guys on here suggested being that the truck is new to me, that I go with the HD boots and have the front...

Any of you know what this upper arm is for? I have boot guards from Western Canadian Rockwell, and the upper boot guard mounts onto these 4 bolts. Not sure if it is a steering arm, or what.. it is connected to output part of the steering. It is not flat ontop, but it is underneath. If...

I have no extra nuts to put the front shields on. Back shields are held on with what looks like lug nuts.

Anyone have 4 spare nuts and a ctis cover they want to sell me?

First one was a bit hack, it was bent to begin with. This other one is much cleaner, I will likely find another shield to match this one.

Well I think they are acceptable. I need to find some lug nuts to secure them on now.

I live in the mountains more or less, I don't plan on taking it into the bush. But at the same time I know it will end up there, sooner or later. I will post pics of how I make out. Luckily the shields are cheap, if I mangle one. They may end up only being held on by the outer bolts, but I...

I have working ctis and lockout hubs.

Parade went well, the deuce was liked by all. Outdoor temps were nearing 90⁰f and the truck had no problems. Other than the boot seals on the front axle, in the hot weather they leaked out some grease. It has an appointment with a mechanic to have the front bearings checked, and the boots...

Got the floor mats put back in and the wheel weights moved into the correct spots I'm ready for the Canada day parade

I do have a spare lug nut I found in the toolbox. This one needs moved up a lug.. If I don't remove the existing clamp ring nut the weight will sit proud would it not?

Wheel weight showed up.. I admit I don't know my way around the TM's very well. From what I understand you let the air out of the tire, remove the lug, install the weight, and retorque down the lug. Torque spec is around the 400lb mark?

Thanks I new it was there but had trouble finding it.
