It almost has to be the pistons, or the hone of the liners. Worn out engines have compression on par with those readings. With new heads it couldn't be a bad valve job on every hole, and I don't see valve springs getting weak enough to cause that just from sitting on a shelf for years. If they...

No Kenny, you arent. That there is a whole different story. Trail rigs should look, or will look like that anyway. I just like my trucks to look presentable. If I had a trail rig anymore, I wouldn't care what it looked like.

Really? All the Navy and Marine trucks that I've inspected have had a transmission pto on them, whether outfitted with a winch or not. I read somewhere that they all came with fording valves and trans pto installed, so I always check when I see one, and I've not seen any yet that didn't have...

Yes we are, we are just surmising at this point. It really needs to be torn back down to find the problem. A cracked block could cause it, if he were losing water, but that wouldn't explain the low compression across the board.

Not when it is this bad. I won't drive a truck that makes me look like white trash. A few dents and dings are ok, but this thing looks like it went through a deuce demolition derby.

Come to think of it, I may have a bent shift fork. I remember now that the first time I drove it after the install, I had a very difficult time pulling it out of 5th gear a couple of times and I had to pull on the shifter really hard, almost with both hands. But once I got it out of gear I never...

I'll have to get another lid gasket before I pull the cover. This is something I don't want leaking. If I do in fact have to change the synchro, I will have to drop the transmission now, because the main shaft can't come out separately from the counter shaft. Well, it can, but they are way...

My truck probably came without a winch, and had one added sometime shortly after delivery. I'm sure it was done in service because all the underlying layers of paint match, but we all know that marine trucks all came outfitted with the pto just for that reason. I have another good bumper to put...

Excellent!:clinto:

Well you need to change the boots anyway, so...

That boot looks great! Is that a rock, or a cow turd wedged in the boot guard?

Yep!

No I don't really, as I drive with my right hand mostly. No freakin' way I wore out a brand new synchro in 5,000 miles. My old one held up fine under my driving habits.

Ok, I've got about 5,000 miles on my brand new ( not reman) transmission that I installed the Waterloo overdrive kit into, and day before yesterday it popped out of 5th whIle cruising on a slight downhill grade with around 1500 pounds in the bed. Only did it once that day. Yesterday it did it...

I'm no Navy/ Marine truck expert, but I've never seen one in person or in pictures that had a winch and had the paperclips pointing up.

Clint, that flasher relay does indeed have the same kind of plug on it, the case just looks different. I have another just like it that I was going to open up and see if the inside was the same or not. This one and I have one more that both have the Cannon connector cast into the housing. That's...

Dude, my truck even has a bent dogbone. I've never seen one bent. Seen plenty broken, but never one bent. Haven't checked the driveshafts yet.

Wow Aussie, I am so sorry to hear that happened to you. At least it wasn't your deuce though!!:jumpin:

Why is that? I know they are cool, but bound to be electrical nightmares, just like the LMTV series. It seems to me that the last half decent surplus trucks we will ever see are the 939 series. That is just the wind of change at work. When it gets to where all the military trucks have armor, our...

At least I know I didn't do it. This thread will get lively when I start working on it.
