Stock Deuce axles have a 6.72:1 gear ratio. I'm almost sure that's NOT what you want.... Not even the faster, aftermarket 4.90:1 gears from Overson Engineering.
I'd say most often the cause of "wobble" is the wheel, not the tire....
I have worked on- and modified dozens of FMTV (steel) wheels . Problem is, from factory their (poor) design allows both halves to shift against each other while bolting them together. Mounting that assembly on a hub and...
You said "brand new tires with balancing beads". But do we know for sure that you are running with just beadlocks - and all dry and clean inside?
Because normally, tires with runflat inserts also have (should have) that special grease - which obviously would cause exactly what you stated above...(?)
TM 9-2320-279-24P-1, Fig. 58, Item 1 ............. AAX-0851............. CAP, FILLER OPENING...............NSN 2930-00-789-0117
Technical data, drawings and cross reference for that cap is here: https://www.wbparts.com/rfq/2930-00-789-0117.html
First time I ever heard of them.... thanks for the hint!
Not sure where you saw them, at that price... (?) Closest I could find would be their AN8-13 (cad-plated, undrilled), 1-15/32 nom.length, 11/16 grip length, at $2.08 each.
Would be great if they had the correct lock nuts for this, too.
Long time ago.... some intelligent men already found out: In a winch truck, if you had the bumper installed with the "U" facing down, and say you wanted to pull out a stump, the wire rope would start cutting its way into your bumper!:oops:
Not?? Do a search for Henkel's "Loctite 518". There are at least three different sizes to choose from: 6ml and 50ml tubes and also a 300ml cartridge. Available everywhere; Napa, eBay, Amazon, they all carry them.
Not the cheapest gasket maker ever, but unlike silicone and PU sealants, this...
White Owl has them: https://whiteowlparts.com/store/store.php?crn=232&rn=826&action=show_detail
(although not exactly cheap, and missing the 4° bend in the middle)
This diagram shows where to bend them....
Remove both U-bolts. Then loosen bolts #11 and separate (pry) the spring pack off of the spring seat. It should easily slide off, after removing the spindle nuts
Agreed, even if 3500 miles is not enough to consider this a good used motor...
Reading post 1 again, it doesn't seem as if there was any sign of loss of power or cylinder(s) misfiring, shortly before the disaster.
How could a faulty injector cause this much havoc in just seconds?
I suspect you are talking about solid rubber runflat inserts, AKA "donuts" ?
.... like this one....... ?
.... and not this type of full rubber beadlock .....?
.... or this other version, steel/rubber beadlock ???
