its an issue with the early body mounts on REV’s, the new poly body mount from the distributor is black in color “not blue or purple” and run about $60ea….just ordered 4 sets.

if you have a REV truck and the body bushings are shot? The body sits lower and the rear drive shaft will contact the protective plate on the fuel tank…also a misadjusted fuel tank hanging too low.

You will never find that gasket, been there, done that…I made my own with an exacto blade and thin gasket materia, worked perfectly. Without The gasket the cv joint will weep and leak petroleum.

Any time the trans being put into gear causes the engine to stall Is a bad transmission, I see this far to often on the 80e equipped trucks coming into the shop, lately we’ve had 4 transmissions with no reverse…thanks to the Marines playing games before turn in, shifting into reverse while...

well, if that’s the case, I’d have purchased a 3spd truck as it’s mostly all mechanical, the A2’s on up need a higher level of maint depending on model and component failure, that equals parts availability. My EU customers prefer the older 3 speed trucks

find someone who has a known working TCM and swap it in, you very well haven’t fixed everything wrong in the unit you just repaired.

police only care that you have 2 things when you drive a vehicle, insurance and current tags, are there D*ck cops? Yea…but it’s more an exception to a rule . Don’t drive like an idiot and do stupid crap and there is no reason for an officer to pull you over. Also, don’t use them as daily...

Have you adjusted the pull tension on the brake cable at the brake handle?

Oregon titles Hmmwv’s for road use…they passed a law years ago. Dont let the parade use BS bother you…ive driven my historical plated trucks for 40yrs with no issues…
