Well after degreasing and inspecting the flywheel and pressure plate, I will be taking them in to get resurfaced. I'll be taking these to an outfit that works on commercial trucks, buses and motorhomes.

Well I'm finally getting around to getting this done but the credit has to go to my 20 yr. old son who is all over it. He started prepping the job on Sunday and when I got home from work yesterday there was a transmission on the shop floor. I went inside to change clothes and he had already...

Started the task of removing the transmission to replace the rear main seal and while I'm in there, throw a new clutch, pressure plate and pilot bearing in it.

Ya can't fix stupid!

Yea I don't need the surety bond or vin inspection because I have the SF97 from the government. However if you look at the DMV website it does state that anything over a ton requires commercial plates. You would think that if it was not used as a commercial vehicle that it would get regular...

Welcome from Montana and former resident of Chicago. Just one word of advice before you start buying parts. Take into account everything you need to put that truck back together and see where you are in terms of dollars. It looks to me that you bought some ones parts truck and all the little...

So I'm finally going to get around to titling and registering my truck. The last time I inquired at the DMV I was told that because its over a ton I would have to register it as a commercial vehicle. Today I seen one with standard Montana plates. Any of you guys run into the commercial plate...

You typed in the wrong reference, its 9-2815 not 9-2320. Thanks again!

Thanks! However its the one TM that's not in the manual section. At least I don't feel too stupid for not being able to find it.

What's the purpose of the RTV? Are you looking for it to seal around the metal or to keep it in place?

I just looked over all the maintenance manuals and can't find the procedures for replacing the rear main seal. Anyone know the manual number and page where the procedure is located?

I would call and ask if you can swap the batteries out.

I seen this on another board and obviously this guy isn't a member here. I thought someone in the area might be able to help this fellow out. I did recommend that he post over here but I'm sure in the stress and frustration of being broke down he just wants to get it going again...

This is the civilian model that works. You'll have to change your fuel line going in because this one uses a hose clamp unlike the original. I've been running this for a year now and I have had no problems. http://www.autozone.com/external-engine/fuel-pump/airtex-fuel-pump/195693_0_0/

Ditto on the red top Optima. No more issues dealing with lead acid batteries. Eventually my entire fleet will be Optima.

I never seen a data plate like that one.

Nope, it came out of Fairchild AFB in Spokane.

Mine is a 1989 and it came with a hard top.

I figured someone would point out the fact that even a new seal can be bad so I just stated it before the fact. I have no problem with surplus seals but as I stated it depends on how they have been stored is the question. Anyway, I got a deal on a couple surplus seals that have good dates.

I think it depends on the location. I bought mine a few years ago from a batch of trucks sold out of Fairchild AFB in Spokane and all of them had hard tops. Also his interior is paint desert sand so if it went over to the sand box they most likely dumped the hardtop for a soft top.
