    M813 front axle end caps shreaded spline ?

    WOW , some Dis- Assembly REQUIRED . After looking at that , I wonder if you have something else going on in the DIFF also . I would drain the fluid just to see if any parts are in the gear oil . Another thought is if you find that there is something wrong with the front DIFF , you might want...

    M813 front axle end caps shreaded spline ?

    It thinks you have lost traction , and with the splines cut out , it applies the sprag . I would replace the of axle covers and then a take test drive someplace you can get the sprag to work .

    M813 front axle end caps shreaded spline ?

    I can not see it from the pictures , maybe some either Torched it out or used a DIE grinder to take the splines . If there is no metal in the cap or bearings ,just need a new cap . BTW , how is the OTHER side ? Have you had the a problem with the front wheel drive operating ?

    M813 front axle end caps shreaded spline ?

    Possibly a bad wheel bearing , causing to much play in the axle shaft . I would start with checking condition of the all the bearings and seals in that wheel .

    Dead Transmission on M923A1

    If anti-freeze mixed with the trans. oil because of a bad cooler , the trans is probably NG . The anti-freeze takes the friction material off the clutches and bands . The shudder maybe a loss of pressure issue . I would do a fluid and filter change and see what you find , it's the easiest and...
