On ebay? The wheels on this truck are on ebay? Tires and wheels? Do you have the link? Thanks, Andy

Trans input shaft Will, I'm not sure what the trans input shaft size is. I'm kind of going into this project blindfolded. I'm looking into some parts manuals. Andy

thanks Thanks for the compliments. I think the Dodge did a sigh of relief when the motor was taken out last night. The Cadillac ride is gone..... Chris-Thank you for the advice and I look forward to hearing from you on where to purchase a clutch alignment tool. I do not have a service...

The truck is a 1977 M812 by the way The truck is a 1977 M812 that we are swapping engines in. I'll include a picture of the truck delivery from last year since I have finally figured out how to post pictures.

Second attempt on pic Hopefully this works.

ok, third attempt to post this time with a picture I finally got back from my 1,300 mile trip of picking up the new NHC 250 from North Carolina. The old Dodge Diesel dually did just fine with the weight of the engine and container in the bed and averaged 17.6mpg for the trip. I didn't shift...

thanks Thanks for the help. I'll clean the assy. and replace the gaskets with new units. Andy

I'll try this again as my original post did not show up from this morning. On my M812 bridge truck equipped with the 5spd manual trans there is an assy. on the passenger side of the upper part of the trans which makes a hissing noise when the trans is shifted into reverse. The vent tube is...

thanks Kenny, Thanks for the information. I agree with you on that this wouldn't be the ideal situation for a panic stop. I do have a crew cab but I don't need a backseat or worse yet frontseat NHC 250 buddy. The tie downs Dodge provides in the bed are just bolted to the sheet metal so...

I'm picking up a Cummins NHC 250 this next week which is in the military steel crate. My question is how much will this weigh? I'm guessing 3,000lbs with the crate?? Also how big is the shipping container for bottom dimensions? Will this fit in the bed of my Dually 3500 Dodge long bed...

Where is the brake light switch located on the M812 Bridge Truck? I noticed something on the air line with two wires near the master cylinder. My turnsignals are not working and I noticed that Saturn Surplus has this for sale under M35 parts. http://saturnsurplus.com/m35/3706.jpg Does this...

We had an air leak coming from the transmission gaskets located on top of the trans on the passenger side. We replaced the small gaskets which stopped that leak but now the vent between the two gaskets is always blowing air unless the tranny is in reverse. Is this normal? It's not enought air...

By the way the truck is a M812 Bridge truck. Thanks

I noticed one of my steering knuckle boots is starting to get a small crack. Where is the best place to purchase a new boot? My main concern purchasing from a place that has boots thats are fresh and not old rubber. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Andy
