Greased all the zirk fittings. What a pita that was. The trans/T case shaft is not easy. Truck is now greased. I also bled the power steering fluid and replaced fluid with amsoil powershift fluid 10wt. After looking at the power steering filter, I have decided to not take the pump apart and...

Ended up needing to remove 4 bolts on the trans side to slide the shaft back and grease the zirks. What a pita. luckily I shouldn't need to do that job again for awhile.

Gotta love fixing or dealing with peoples incompetence

Right. I just wanted to see if anyone else had something different. I bought an adapter from napa to a needle valve so I should be fine now.

I am having alot of trouble trying to grease these 4 zirk fittings on the trans/transfercase shaft. Bought a more narrow grease tip to try and get in-between the tolerances but none so far are working. Can't get a 7/16 wrench in to even loosen them to change the angle. Anyone have ideas? I...

Started working on greasing the truck. Lot of the zirks haven't seen grease in a long time. I also bought plastic zirk covers for them to keep dirt and debris out of them. Black go on one's easily exposed. I'm using blue for the suspension and red for the drivetrain. More photos to come.

Installed a new fuel sending unit for the tank. Gauge works like it should now. Used stainless Allen key head bolts because the pan screws were stripping when taking out. They are 10/32 fine thread for those wondering.

Thank you! It's a work in progress.

This is the civilian one. Just didn't post photos of it. Just of the old one I removed.

Installed a new alternator. Old one was overcharging. Tried to remove the Allen key plug and it stripped out. Decided to installa civilian one instead. Fixed my issues. Didn't want any potential damage to the abs system or control box. Best part I can go to any advanced auto parts store and...

You can try those military guys I looked online and found it in the US all ready and didn't wait 2 months plus. I also got a 5" to 6" exhaust adapter with one clamp and works great.

Thanks Superthernal, it is 1/8" npt to 1/4" dot line. I like the brass or metal quick connect fittings oflvrr the cheap plastic ones. You could try it and see how it goes. I know the military pressurized the trans and t case but didn't know they did the axles that way. That would be neat to try.

Went to start the truck and the truck volt meter went way into the red for overcharging. Turned it off and tried again with same results. Tried removing the Allen key plug and of course it rounded out. Decided since so many have trouble with these to go with a modern alternator and make it...

It was in high. Not low to make it better

Even after the shock upgrade, the front is very bouncy, I decided to do fluid balancing and added 1 gallon to each tire of straight antifreeze. Worked for me in the past. I did a half gallon up front and it made a big difference. 1 gallon hopefully should he enough to smooth it out. Truck...

Cleaned the fuel tank out before installing the strainer and locking fuel cap. No algae luckily but did have some rust particles. Fuel sending unit doesn't work so I am installing a new sending unit as well.

Swapped all gear oil from axles, t case and trans axles and t case got 80w90. Installed a napa spin for trans and went to amsoil synthetic powershift fluid 10wt. It's rated for Allison transmissions and has improved Temps. My trans had what looked like hydraulic fluid. Wasn't burned...

Moved the axle breathers up to the engine compartment. Ran a separate breather for the front axle to the passenger side, and rear axles to driver side. Also added new monroe shocks and added 16r20s with hemtt wheels. Installed front led side markers.

Replaced both windshields, new wiper arms and blades. Also got air motor wipers working. They were rusted from being in elements. After working them free they work great. Last photo is Brutus's first tow. I sold my m35a2 and the driver didn't have proper equipment to load the truck and...

Had a hiccup when doing overhead. When my buddy came up to help with the radiator, dual fuel line mod, and coolant filter, we did the overhead on the engine. As we got to the last cylinder, the feeler gauge broke and a piece went Into the engine. We tried looking for it and couldn't find...
