Just a quick check on eghey shows me several options fro the 20, Spartan, Lokrite and Detroit Locker .
I didn't dig into ratio selection on the Detroit, but stuff is out there for sure .
Seems like maybe rigging up cutting brakes (poor mans locker) for the rear would me quicker/simpler for...
I had a 52 XM211, it was in mint condition, but that Cadillac transmission and the bizarre way GM set that truck up killed it for me,
I can't even see the engine in yours, got more pics ?
Still have the Caddy trans ?
Okay I'll play ...
M50A2 Deuce 1/2:
Fuel kill is always pushed back in after I stop engine .
Transmission is NEVER left in gear, I often even pull the T-case into neutral, my park brake works excellent .
All that is needed is to spin the starter, not too difficult .
M931A2 5 ton...
Hello
Not sure how trash could get into a T-case, maybe just old Army gear goo ?
Things I personally would try before removal and disassembly of said case:
1- drain trash/goo From case and fill with ATF which has detergent in it, and run the truck around and clean the case out, and it will...
Hey nice looking truck, looks uber clean .
So it drives fine forward in high ?
If so personally I would start beating it down the road and getting heat in the trans and making things come back to life, I find these things develops issues sitting around, I know mine has .
Some things will fix...
Cool truck, I like that winch on the back and the roller, nice that your saving and repairing the old building too, hardly anyone does anymore they just smash and put up new .
🇺🇸
What else did you do when you "climbed aboard" ?
I doubt that just getting in the truck would cause a problem, but, if the gauge is pegging over it's because is receiving a full ground signal, so somewhere that signal wire is getting to ground like it's maybe rubbed through somewhere, or your...
Here's a couple pics of some different fenders that I have, I'm on the West coast so they won't by do you any good, but just for ideas, run a couple pieces of pipe straight out from the top of the upright section below the curvature of your tank, hang em high for the articulation these trucks...
An M931A2 only has 11.5 feet of frame rail behind the cab, and 2 feet of that is unusable unless you remove the spare tire, exhaust etc.
So there's barely enough room for a camper, you could always get one of those models that came with an aluminum box on the back and trick it out, thats what...
Okay, so I did more stuff (M931A2)
I put that angle iron cross piece back on behind the cab that holds the metal covers over the fuel tanks and spare tire junk .
I had taken it off when I made this truck into a water truck, and I also removed the drivers side fuel tank and had a pump down...
Remove the electronic fuel shut off solenoid from your inj. pump and throw it in the trash, that will fix 90% of your no start issues, and just use the manual fuel stop T-
-handle on the dash .
I might be working today, but eventually and intermittently it won't .
I'll bet you're right, but by the time I found a TM, read it and got it to sink into my ADHD infused grey matter, I could have fixed 4 doors/windows .
Every screw and bolt in this door and window assy will fit in the small of your palm, a minor amount of common sense and sone elbow grease can...
Do not use a scredriver to pop the bottom piece off the glass, you will chip the glass as it is fully seated in the groove, simply just tap the metal down and off off the glass using the regulator slots .
I stayed up too late last night watching random Military Truck vids from around the world, in one of them the fellow stated that the door glass in a deuce and a half was specific for L and R .
So I thought about that and it didn't seem right to me since its just a square piece of glass, so I...
OP, you posted that the bl was .020 now it's .035, am I understanding this correctly ?
.020 on this diff wouldn't make me bat an eye, I would not bother to get out my dial indicator for that, I can feel it with my hand and know it's fine for tough old gears that use thick oil and superior metal...

Actually after giving it a moments thought, I believe there is a little roller with a couple wires hooked to it on the E-brake handle itself, whatever there is, I predict it's going to fall off on the next bump the truck feels .
I'm only interested in stopping the incessant noise of that...
