I have a ir thermometer, hubs are all around 130 in mid 80's heat. Trans was about 160 same with transfer case. We made it to Chilliwack. Getting food and streatching legs. I pm'd cheatindeath. If I dont hear back im going to continue my slow crawl to Bellevue where i can work in a friends driveway.

Still on 1 stopped for fuel in Yale BC

Checked the jack shaft, all tight. There are leaks but fluid levels are holding steady. Everything is about the same temp under there. I put the t-case in neutral and tried 5th. Still have the rattle. I can feel the vibration as soon as i put the lever in 5th even stopped. Slowly making my way...

It kinda sounds like the gear is contacting something. Kind of like when you grind a gear shifting but a lot slower rhythm.

Ill check them. Wouldnt it rattle through all gears if it were the jack shaft? we were hoping to make the boarder but 30mph in 4th it is taking way too long. Pulled off in a spot with cell reception. Going to get some sleep and check here again.

We saw caribou 6x6 on our way through. Everything was running well or we might have stopped in. The bad fuel was from Haines Junction. New day, new problem. When I am in 5th gear I get a nasty rattle from what sounds like the transmission. It started nice and quiet and has grown louder. It...

It was definitely the fuel. With the fresh fuel he is back to running normally. After setting overnight the fuel was still cloudy and i didnt get very much water when i drained the tank. I have been runnind diesel kleen with each tank. Now i need to figure out what to do with 35 gal of...

Turned out to be bad fuel. Got fewsh fuel in the tank and he is back to normal. Was a bit of a scare especially since contact was so difficult out there. Didn't help that it was 45 and raining. Got to Prince George about 4 am. Hit up the Napa and am grabbing a bite to eat then back on the road...

I am thinking it is a problem with contaminated fuel. I am going to Fill up with some fresh fuel and push on south. I texted nineyards to give him a heads up that I am in his neck of the woods. I will be leaving Bell II Canada south on 37. My next stop will be Kitwanga (I hope) I will post up...

I have read through the TM's but haven't found anything helpful

I was going to be towing our Subaru but ran into issues getting a trailer. Now I am wishing We had brought it. Day 1 - Made about 500 Miles. No issues running great saw 5 moose, 1 Bear and a few porcupines. Other than a wicked head wind the weather was beautiful. Day 2 - Alternator started to...

Problem was resolved with clean fuel. So for the first 1000 miles Brutus was running fine. about half way through a tank of Canadian diesel, which is a cloudy green color, he is barely running. Yesterday the trouble started when I was downshifting the RPM would shoot up as I pushed in the...

I got the seal i have been waitin for today at 5. I just signed out on leave and am departing Ft Wainwright now (1223 am 4 June). I expect to reach Washington in about 5 days. My wife has the camera and we will post when we can.

We will see. Was supposed to depart On the 31st. I had an outter hub seal break on me while I was servicing the hubs. I had a guy in Anchorage mail me one. It should have been here last Tuesday but still waiting. If we get delayed much longer we may have to cut California out of the plan. I...

Thanks. I would much rather do the work in my driveway than on the side of the road some where. Looks like I will need to adjust the wheel bearing nuts, three hubs were about 140 after about 20 miles of 50mph driving.

A few more pictures of the spindles. This is the R/H center axle. Looks to be old damage. It appears to be old, no burs or sharp edges. same axle before I wiped it off A question about he Air Compressor. The TM says there should be a filter in the intake but I can't find a type of filter. My...

It has been a busy week between packing up the house and getting Brutus ready for the trip. I started with the Parking brake. Though there was obviously plenty of pad left on the shoes, i figured I would swap them out anyways. Once I got the shoes swapped out I attached the lever end and got it...

Going to be a lot of bugs killed on this trip. Will probably have to stop more often to clean the windshield than to fill up the tank. I will post up as often as I can. The first few days I won't have a connection but will certainly be taking pictures. Unfortunately I don't have a night camera...

For the most part the paint is in decent shape. There are spots that are peeling and at one point some one put inspiring on and the outline shows through. Would probably be easiest for me after my course at Rucker, I will have about 30 Days between the end of the course and reporting to Bragg...

The biggest problem with solar is running the A/C. The stove top and toaster oven are run for such short amounts of time that they don't have that much impact on the batteries. The A/C on the other hand will be running just about constant which means the panels need to at least match the draw. I...
