Since I have taken 2.5 ton and 5 ton hubs apart and found they were full of oil (and running very cool by the way), I don't really think the axle oil level needs to be any higher than is it is. If you think about it, the ring gear is churning the oil up and it will flow out to the hubs. Also...

I hope he gleaned some useful information whether he liked what he saw or not.

1800 miles round trip in two different trips. Out bound in a F350 both times and 1st return in a M929 and second in a M915A1. Note to self, roads in LA and MS SUCK.....

Probably the biggest reason you don't see Detroit lockers in the front axle is because it takes a certain amount of traction to make them unlock in a turn. If you have poor traction, they won't unlock in a turn and then the front tires are going to slide. If the front tires are sliding, they...

The dip sticks are different lengths depending on oil pan depth. I posted a couple of Allison TMs in the TM forum here, one of them gives info on fluid levels based on pan depth.

When the transmission is cold it will read low. If your dip stick doesn't have a cold fill mark be aware of that. The level comes up as the fluid gets hot.

I found that as I got older, I didn't care what others thought. It's a lot easier when you only have to make you happy.

There are horses..... If there's horse poop everywhere it will be just like the GA Rally used to be!

It's not called the Taj Mahal for nothing!

Let them change the engine. Greyhound can get you back and forth.

Use the 99% isopropyl alcohol. It will work better at absorbing the water. Just make sure that nothing in the transmission is affected by the alcohol. Plus, you can't run it long, the alcohol will evaporate as the transmission gets hot and leave the water in there. I hope your next birthday is...

Just pull the heads if you think it's a head gasket. You can see if the head gasket is leaking, if not, get the heads checked for cracks. Either way it requires taking the engine apart. If you really need to use the truck, follow patracy's and others advice and use some kind of stop leak and...

People have done it. Keep in mind the M129 is heavy and tall.

It never fails to amaze me how useful hammer technology can be when applied correctly.... And even if it doesn't work, you get the satisfaction of beating the snot out of something!

What caused it to burst, did it freeze?

No point in him sending you the video files Ray, you'll just lose them! :roll: I can attest to RAYZER taking his tractor off road. If it hadn't taken two hands, two feet, and two a$$ cheeks to hold on while we were going up and then down the hills, I would have video from inside!!! Good job...

I took my M818 out a few years ago on a Saturday night. My buddy owns the 1962 Imperial in the back ground.

Distill it and drink it.

No it's not, people do it all the time!

Unless you have to have them right now, the best deals are on ebay. I've bought several and they are much less $ than NAPA or any of the other equipment suppliers. And welcome from Florida.
