I looked at the pictures. I would also pull the transfer case drain plug and check the fluid level. If you have an over fill condition in the transfer case it could be the transmission rear seal leaking the transmission fluid into the transfer case. If you drain the over filled condition and...

National Coatings and Supplies - RUSFRE I have been using this companies products for 40 years. Great old school stuff that works and won't fail. It looks great when applied and does not transfer when dry. Remains dry and tack free. Good Luck.

I would say definitely a rear driveshaft U Joint. Easy jack the rear axle up and support it. Put the transmission in neutral and check for slop and play. Look closely you should see millings and rust in the U joint area. Take the drive shaft off and check. Easy fix. But fix it before it is the...

He built me a HD truck transmission. Another one of them deals where the rear tires were always bald. I am Guilty. It could fry the 17" Eagles. Wonder where the Son got it from? 1 life, Live it. I had a shop that serviced CVPI's and they were not allowed to plug or patch police departments...

Yesterday I decided I had enough firewood to last about 10 years. that was just counting what I had split stacked and under tarp. I have decided to split the big pile and market it. I will never use it and don't want to see it go to waste. I am constantly finding people that want trees cut and...

Are you a seller or a buyer? And what else is there to know about it?

I would not deal with a shop that I don't trust. same as people that I send parts to and trust them to pay me. That is not happening anymore from this end. I have a man that rebuilds my transmissions and differentials. 1 catch I do the R & R. He does not want vehicles at his business only the...

Today was a long day. I made great progress on the floor and managed to get all the plastic and CARC cleaned off. I even went back to the passemngers side and cleaned the edges better. I need to get the Line X sprayed in and then I will be able to lay down the new floor boards. I have a new saw...

I Like it a Lot. I traveled far and wide in that M1009. Then I gave it to my Son. Things slid down hill from there. I remember my Dad giving me a 64 Impala SS. That didn't end well either. I feel this M1009 has been to Hell and Back. Nobody else would have fixed it. It's not perfect but when you...

Probably should have the VRV adjusted. That can be hard on the transmission if it shifts that hard. My M1009's drive like they have a 350 gas motor in them after a fresh properly adjusted transmission and a new injection pump in stock form. I remember driving many CUCV's back when they were...

At this point I think they have double out lived the life expectancy of the reliability. Get it rebuilt at a COMPETENT shop and drive on. I redo everyone at this point. I can't sell an old vehicle with a bad transmission and an old injection pump. Refresh both and all will be well. It's a Simple...

Lets think about what I said. If I were in need of a TH400 transmission and the local salvage yard had one in a truck the same year as mine and I was going to do the swap myself. 1.) I am doing it on the ground and with basic hand tools and a floor jack. I have a piece of plywood to set between...

Surplus 2011 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 4x4 Crew Cab Pickup in Fayetteville, North Carolina, United States (GovPlanet Item #4778706)

30+ year old transmissions are not reliable. I work part time in an auto salvage yard and they don't sell things that old as a serviceable replacement component. You can buy it "as is" and cash and carry only. Little hard to sell a 30+ year old transmission and warrant it. At this point in time...

What's a couple more hours spent getting the CARC out of the corners? I have it about 90% out and am happy with the results. That next 10 % will take as long as the entire left front side did. I had 2 acres of lawn to mow this evening and the 1989 Honda sputtered a bit while mowing so I removed...

I have bought the master cylinder from an auto parts store and used DOT 5 in it. I never had any issues. I did it many times. I keep the DOT 5 in the system because it is there now and worked all these years. No other reason. I use power steering fluid in the power steering regardless that the...

I spent a few hours yesterday messing with that tarred in plastic floor covering. That stuff sticks and I heated and scrapped. Now I just have the edge over near my bolted in transmission tunnel cover. They don't sell the good old air craft stripper anymore. I did take Acetone and enamel reducer...

WOW it is early. I am answering a 4 year old post and repeating myself to myself. I hope the day gets better. Take Care.

Check out your tail pipes. They could be leaking and seeping in thru unknown rust holes. I seen it more then once. Good Luck.

Last week I had a job sent to me. It is a Perkins 7KW 2 cylinder water cooled diesel engine from an air compressor. It belongs to an Amish farmer and his note was unique. He says the blade holder is missing and lose, Sounds ruff, get severdy hot, are blade nuts still available? (actual words...
