Expert backing director. :) The rearview mirror on a DUKW is the most worthless thing I've ever seen. Like "man in flip flops" kind of useless. Don't even know why they bothered.

First, don't apologize for bumping old threads. You're using the site exactly like it's supposed to be used. In answer to your question: Yes and no (yes on grinding, no on damage. Here's what is happening: With the engine running, transmission in neutral and clutch released (pedal out)...

Not saying I'm not impressed, but I'm a little worried about Coffey1. I don't wanna' see a thread saying to send wishes to him in the hospital because he went 168 hours without sleep.

If your current guage is mechanical, don't get your hopes up. You absolutely should check the pressure with a 2nd gauge, but don't expect much difference. What you need to do is have a machine shop check the crankshaft, they can tell you if it is worn out enough to need to be turned undersize...

You meant 1986 and newer. Also, older than..... I think it's 1963 and they flat out will not issue a title, even if you have a current one from another state.

This was a fun event last year. My Dad and I got there at the very end, but there were a few 6x6's and a handful of Jeeps. Not a big event, but small and personable.

I love all the projects you do. I really liked the rebuild metal battery box you did. The hold downs looked great.

We're so sorry to hear this. So unexpected. Our condolences to the family.

I am very happy to see some sun and warm weather. Nice weather to get stuff done.

There is a lot more that goes into an axle's weight rating than the strength of the housing itself. A good example would be the difference in size between 2.5 ton hub bearings and 5 ton hub bearings. The difference is enormous-I don't know the relative sizes off the top of my head, but the 5...

Close........ The official dates are October 19-23, 2016. Durhamtown has committed to those dates for the event.

I bought an NOS one that was pretty reasonably priced from either white owl parts in North Carolina or Eastern surplus in Pennsylvania

You know the G749 series does not use the later G742 style of Rockwell axle?

The standard thing to covert the M135/M211 (G749?) series to manual transmission is to take the entire CCKW transmission and transfer assy and make them work. This is a phenomenal amount of work. If it were my, I'd rebuild the Hydramatic.

Put your 3/4" on it. If that doesn't work, put the 1" on it. :) Remember, the bolt pattern on the flywheel is asymmetrical. It will only go on one way. Be prepared. C

Impact wrench.

When the vehicle is underway? Nearly none. I'd say if you're going more than maybe 5 mph, you will apply it, you will feel a mild lurch, a bad smell will occur and you will continue hurtling towards whatever obstacle you're going to hit.

Small issue: "Air over hydraulic" is like what an M105 has. Loss of air = total loss of brakes "Air assisted hydraulic" is what the M44 series has. Loss of air = loss of power brakes. That being said, when I got my first deuce, I drove it down my driveway with no air and tried to stop it so...
