Every seal I have removed so far for the pinion seals have been a modern'ish replacement already, I have yet to see one of those but I have not done the front differential yet, if any of them would have original seals it'd be that one because even the inner axle seals were original. Would be...

I completely understand that, i'm a GM tech at a dealer and I can't stand certain repairs under warranty anymore :ROFLMAO: For the double lip seals are you referencing the pinion seal by chance? Because if that's the case i've been putting two seals in the housing and none of them have been...

Definitely love seeing the public reaction to scenarios like that and as you would imagine they love to see these trucks actually get used as well lol

In the final stretch, split the differential case after removed the ring gear bolts, removed the spider gears and thrust washers and stored them away in a box incase of breakage, always good to keep spare parts on hand for these trucks. Removed the Differential side bearings and installed new...

After removing the differential, make sure you mark everything before you take it apart. (if you do not mark the differential case there is manufactured mark engraved on the case so it cannot be missed) there is no mark on the ring gear however. During the removal of my differential it is...

Now begins the fun process of it all, I have taken lots of photos for those curious as there isn't exactly a whole lot of information on the H110.. The Eaton/GM H110 was a 12.25" Axle used from the 1940s-1980s, from deuces to one tons. (Last known use was 1986 Chevrolet C30). They're all open...

Time for my semi-annual update on the truck and future development LoL. Over the past 6 months I have been extremely busy since the Cummins swap and part of that was mainly dealing with getting back my grandparents property up north from where the truck sat. Things are going good to say the...

The swap is still not fully completed as I have to hook up 5 more gauges (RPM, Oil Pres. , Pyro, Boost, Fuel) But I have been driving it around quite a bit already and it does move out a lot quicker than it used to... There was a steep hill I always have to climb from downtown area and before...

Another update 10 years later lol. Been busy with everything as usual so I don't get much time to be able to get on here as often as i'd like. We'll start with the wheels and tires, finally I was able to mount the 395/85R20s Michelin XMLs on all 6 wheels without any issues. Was definitely...

Just went through a lot of the thread finally, good to see the progress on everything. As for the Hydraulic fitting on the compressor oil line that was infact an oil pressure tester fitting, I had used it when I first got the truck because my oil pressure gauge never worked but I was not the...

After checking over final alignments and clearances all I could do was just stand back and admire it knowing i'm now at the halfway point. The clearance to the firewall is about 2.5 inches. The motor mounts are in pretty good positions (see pictures) and other than that I see no issues if I...

Had a 16 hour day at the shop with the progress because there's nothing I dislike more than having a project that is sitting undriveable lol. Pulled the front fenders and rad which was my first time and couldn't believe how easy it was, then wasted no time to pulling the engine. During the...

Not even sure where to begin this but here we go. The annual Father's Day Car Show was not as good as the last few years but still enjoyed it nonetheless, my 395/85R20s had came in however one of the tires was questionable and I will have to wait for another one to come in so I didn't get to...

I'll have it on the pallet soon, it is currently pulled now and ready for pickup almost.

I believe I might've met him already at the car show a couple years back when I first got it because he had mentioned he had a few MLVWs. If it's the same feller I'm thinking of then he would be the one with the property near the highway on 63 by wandering river, I always look at the MLVW/M35s...
