dennis the problem so far is that the gears are very obsolete, by more than 40 years, so none are availbale. i am talking to a gear company about making some but they are very slow in giving me a price. just a gut feeling it would cost near $1000 to upgrade a trans. first you need the two gears...

i have a spare bracket, but i just found a use for it..................

the new headlight switch was NOT speced to be esd proof. since the mil forgot to call for that they built them with off the shelf parts that are static sensitive. once they are installed there is no static issue but i don't think anything electrical on any vehicle would survive emp, you are...

this is sort of a continuation of the gear math subject. today i finished installing the .71 od gears. i am very pleased with the difference. the shift from 4th to 5th is almost the same rpm change as the 3rd to 4th shift, not the puny change we have been used to. and with 14.5r20 (same as...

easily worth $600, new for $1500 at memphis. was it for a 800 or 900 series

got trans back in on tuesday, have to put rear seal in on wed morn and put in oil, i am going to use 30wt non detergent motor oil since there is an issue with 2nd gear lubing itself. i also made 3 recesses in the rear hub end of 2nd like most of the other gears have to help oil get into bushing...

and going fron 9 psi boost to 15 psi (with more fuel) what a difference in performance.

the D turbo (i think that is the quiet one) makes more boost, but you can only put so much fuel to it. fuel = hp but also heat. i don't see how you can really get that much more power. i have mine turned up to what i think must be 200 hp. it is not afraid of most of the hills around here but is...

the bogie brngs should have no play at all, probably a slight preload.

RE: Winch pictures you can usually buy a complete take off kit for $500 to $1000. will come with everything you need.

i would think that the injectors would be too old design wise unless they have been changed. you want the two hole injectors

if you can hold hand on it for 10 seconds it is ok. this also applies to low power hydraulics.

i can tell you from experiance, you have to remove the front motor bolts and move the motor up and over more than it will want to go, a lot more than 1/4". you really have to force things to gain enough clearance. and this is if you take the box apart in the truck and put it back togeather in...

sermis, new rocker panels are available, contact memphin and ask, they have them made up and i have a set i could use for a pattern if many people need them

ok, finally after waiting what seems like forever, i have what is probably the last civ mainshaft .71 gear in the world. remember they last used this trans in 1965. so i have made spacers required to put civ gear in mil trans ( civ gear is .065 thinner ) and am waiting for ups on monday to bring...

i thought the horn would work in any position, but i could be wrong. the circuit breaker on the firewall above the steering column is for the horn and heater if installed

as far as starting it that is exactly what mine did when the ip wore out. the starter could not turn it fast enough to start but starting fluid got it turning at 800 - 900 rpm and the worn plunger could make enough pressure to trip injectors. i rebuilt the ip head and runs perfect, but never...

if the boot was full or brake fluid, i hope you are going to replace the m/c before your brakes fail

does this have the cold start system intact and is the flame heater running all the time?? there could still be something up inside the intake manifold, mine had mouse nests in it until the engine ate them all up...........

right pp, check the m/c pushrod adj. if cracking the bleeder on the pack releases the brakes, the fluid is not going back to the main m/c, the one on the pedal. all the pack does is push on the second m/c which is part of the pack. with no air the fluid from the main m/c pushes the piston in the...
