Apparently each time the military does something to these trucks the VIN changes. Mine basically had new metal on the drivers side, door, fender, hood, step, etc. The original paperwork that came with the truck said 1971. When I registered it in MD, with the title, numbers were missing on the...

Your out towards Reisterstown? Liberty rd way?

My profile picture was taken right there on Rt 50 in Queenstown across from the outlets. I used to have a catering business and pulled my trailer with the duece

Edgewood and Centreville.. I'm originally from the eastern Shore in Centreville. My dads house is in Edgewood right next to the arsenal

Yeah, well if I go ahead and use the upper shaft from the spare trans I will put it into my parts cleaner first. The press fit doesn't bother me too much, I can work with that, though difficult it may be. My biggest thing is just understanding and you've explained that quite well. Although, from...

Well if anything this is all a learning experience. May as well laugh while I'm doing it!!!!!!!

Hey Tom, sorry I was out looking at the spare trans when you posted. I see the yoke is pressed on. I understand that now, thanks

HAHAHAHA 14 rollers will fall out.......I've gotta get them back in!!!!!!!! AAAAHHHHGGGGGG

OK, so once I have removed the 4 bolts to the transfer case, and get the shaft out of the way, remove the center nut holding the yoke, is that pressed on or should it slide off? Geeze I don't meant to be a pain-in-the-neck here.......I'm just trying to understand this. Since I have the spare...

Tom, bear with me here please. The slider moves forward and back to engage 2 or 3 gear, as with the others. What actually engages? I know there is an inner spline, I just don't know what "hits" what to engage the shaft to the gears

I'm thinking thats what I'll do is swap upper shafts. However, and just so I'm clear on this. The PDF shows having to use a puller to remove the bearing on the transfer case end of the trans. If I'm understanding you correctly, I remove the 4 bolt connecting the transfer case, then remove the...

Yeah, I was hoping this would be something stupidly simple because of the way it happened and all of the other gears working but I suppose thats not the case. The PDF in one of the previous repiles has pretty much all information about tearing down and putting back together. My main problem is I...

I'm down to the point I would just like to buy another transmission!!!!! I can drive the truck on the road no problem, just go from 1st to 3rd easy. However, I don't want to take the truck off road this way, especially living here on the beach. Driving in that sand is tough on everything. I let...

Hey Tom, I've done that. I put it into every gear and it wants to move, except for 2nd gear. I put it in 2nd and it just does nothing, no noise, no anything. When I look at the spare trans and I move the slider to engage 2nd it sort of clicks into place. On the one in my truck it just slides in...

Hey guys, So I still haven't gotten this problem fixed and I'm at a loss as to what to do. I've popped the top and everything looks good. Forks are clean and not bent, everything seems to be sliding as it should, no broken teeth. I have a spare transmission, with a cracked housing, for reference...
