I went the same route after investigating Hagerty. Too many restrictions. Costs more but worth it for me to do what I want or might want to do without having to worry about not being covered if something goes wrong.

I find this an interesting question. From what I can find Stainless Steel wire rope has less capacity that standard steel of the same diameter. 5/8" Wire Rope 6 x 19 IWRC Core Steel = 8,200 lbs. lift rated 5/8" Wire Rope 6 x 19 IWRC Core 18-8 Stainless Steel = 6,260 lbs. lift rated Perhaps...

Once again thank you.

This task was accomplished successfully. Is there any way to set the clearance on the countershaft while it is in the truck? The TM drawings make me think when I pull the countershaft cover off it will expose the shims. No hole in the cover to use as a way to test this end play. Is the only way...

Thanks I was hoping you would reply. Looks like I will be spending some more time under there this weekend.

Need some transfer case advice here. Closest thread I could find. Feels to me like I can move the emergency brake drum up and down like it has play. Not just in and out. I took it all apart to change the seal and found the shims etc. on the output retainer. I read the TM and it seems to say...

On my old deuce all of the shafts I have found have one wide tooth so you can't screw up the phasing. At least I don't think so. I wanted to ask it sounds like these newer trucks don't have that? Seems like a simple fail-safe solution to me.

I have to get the numbers off mine and put them up. Hopefully someone can use them.

Do you know the number of the spider and bearings? I might have a new set I bought by mistake if you need it.

Good to know I have never been down there. Thanks for the info. I forgot to mention Wes Simpson good thinking.

Maybe you already have but if not you could check out Eastern Surplus. They are a supporter of the site and located not too far from your area. If you search you will see they have new and used options available in that size. You probably could choose the tires you want if you went over there...

I cannot recall the correct air pressure setting but I feel like it is around 120 psi. If your compressor is charging higher than that on the in-cab gauge then try installing another gauge somewhere to check your reading. If it goes too high the governor might be the problem. If you have a...

There is a spacer on the transmission side that is about 1" long. Maybe some trucks have it left out? Possible different styles of the transmission output seal retainer? Since knowledgeable people are looking at this thread: My jackshaft had two small weld beads on the inside where the vent...

I can get you this number tonight if no one else get's it sooner. I have the jackshaft out of the truck. Easiest measurement to provide for me would be face of pinion flange to face of pinion flange. Jackshaft is disassembled right now so can't measure that.

Thanks I have to check mine now when I get home.
