You do not have to pull the transmission to get the shaft out. I took the main shaft and gears out from the top. I followed the steps I found by searching... sorry I don't have the exact link right now. It wasn't too difficult. The only specialty tool needed is a gear puller. I did not see...

I got the sleeve removed from the main shaft today. I forgot to take any before pictures but here are a couple after pictures. To recap… The sleeve would not press off of the main shaft so I decided I had to cut it off. My first thought was to put use a mill to cut the sleeve. Today, I...

My tranny felt like the shifter was stuck in thick mud going into 3rd. Then it started to feel that way coming out of 3rd. Then it got worse! I took the top off the tranny and found out the shifter mechanism was working fine off of the tranny. I kept digging and now I see that the splined...

It looks like I am going to have to opt out. Sorry for the late notice. I am really sorry to miss getting together for a great parade. Have fun and post some pics.

The Oklahoma Motorpool meets the first Monday of the month. Most of the guys do seem to have older vehicles. I was invited to join the group when one of the members met me and my M35A2 at a Blue Star Mothers event. I have always felt welcome. Tomorrow we will be at a Medal of Honor Day...

I purchased a set of seat covers from a member of this site that were made like the originals. The covers went on just like the old ones came off. The back has a steel loop that the cover ties around. Then the pad, cover and ring sort of snap into pockets at the edges of the diamond tread...

I would like to attend in my m1009.

I bought this one... Cardone - Hydro-Boost Part # : 52-7248 from O'Reillys. They had one in stock and matched Autozones on-line price.

Parade trucks and ready reserve trucks...

A few pictures...

I'll be there in my M1009!

I didn't see a post for the Convoy but I got the PM. If it's a go I plan to bring my M1009. It's probably not what the Blue Star Mothers want to ride in for a parade but I wouldn't mind running as a support vehicle. A parade and a Convoy in the same day sounds great to me.

My manifold heater pump started leaking a week ago. Fuel made its way from the top middle of the engine on the passenger side down to bath the differential before dripping on the ground. I didn't get the pump fixed but I did get the fuel supply line plugged by putting a plug in the pump's fuel...

Messing with the VRV fixed my late shift problem that developed a couple of days after I got my M1009. I took the VRV off the truck worked the cam and follower a bit then blasted it with PB Blaster. After blowing it out, I put it back on and now it shifts fine. There are a bunch of posts...

Thanks Dewayne for a great weekend. Your hospitality was awsome. Here are a few pictures for all to enjoy!
