    I worked on the mule yesterday. I dropped the driveshaft to investigate a leak around the output shaft. I found something clogged the drain hole behind the output shaft housing. I drained the tranny and found pcs of a shift plate came out with the oil:sad:. I'm assuming it's the one from...

    CARC paint;how to remove-yet another question...

    I had good success with 40 grit paper...not the cheap harborfrieght stuff, but 3M etc. I used a vibratory sander and it really tore up the big runs, chips etc. I used a dust mask, outside, with plenty of ventilation. for the really nasty stuff, floor boards etc, I used a 4" sanding disk and a...

    M818 won't downshift

    I took the truck for her first ride in 6 years. She upshifted just fine but downshifting to 4th would result in grinding. I can downshift to 3rd when she slows down enough. Again, upshifting is fine, oil levels good. Any ideas? BTW, transfer case was in high.

    bad spark on the Mule
