One thing I forgot to mention is that I live up on a mountain and went up and down steep hills repeatedly after changing my oil. I filled it all the way to the fill hole. Wouldn't it have leaked the same as if the oil expanded with heat?

Thanks for the fair warning. I do a 60 mile trip on the freeway once in a while. I'll keep an eye on it.

Took the truck to work and back, then to the gym and back. All of about 50 miles. I think the shifter movement was a little more crisp, if that makes sense, but had no problems going through the gears at all. Did great. I feel like the sound of the gears was a tiny bit quieter. Its never been...

Thanks for that chart Frank. Nice to see where sae 40 sits. I bought 40 wt oil (travellers, from tractor supply) for 76 bucks home. Just put it in tonight. I filled both the t-case and tranny up to the fill plug. Glad I changed em either way. What came out looked like hersheys syrup. No...

The laclede 2247 chains fit great on the 11x20's I have always liked the cam style. I bought 3 pair for somewhere under 500 bucks home. Probably won't need them, but better to have them. I put them in plastic milk crates and then those go in the big box in the bed. Here's a picture. I just...

I came up empty handed trying to find stuff stocked locally. Our main places up here that stock 5 gallon pails are going to be north 40 and tractor supply co. Neither have sae 40 or 50 wt in stock, and no gl1 anything. Pretty sure they dont have gl4 anything either. At least nothing usable. They...

Yes, for the manual spicer 5spd on an m35a2, and transfer case. 80 -90 is good, but not easy to get in gl1, good find with the napa stuff davidb56.

After searching online and locally, i was not able to find very affordable options for the transmission. Finding anything that is non detergent, yellow metal safe, and all that is absolute hell, especially if you dont want to blow 200 bucks on a pail. The best i could do, was 80 bucks for...

You get the laclede 2247 chains?

I'm in the process of doing all my tires. These are the 11R20 michellins. Never driven the truck on snow or ice yet, but I know the big flat lugs aren't going to be my friend.

Hello folks, and thanks for all of you on the forum. Owning these rigs would not likely be much of a joy without all your support. Saved my bacon a couple of times before I even joined. Purchased myself a 1985 m35a2. I believe it came from canada and has the 8.5" battle rims on it. (Xl 11 x 20...
