    Steering adjustment

    Again I can't find the right TM. I removed the steering linkage from the steering box to the axel, ? drag link, to be able to remove the axel from the truck in order to add a locker. What is the adjustment. All the way down and line up the cotter pin or is there a specific adjustment or torque?

    Front knuckle grease

    OK can someone explain? Why is grease needed to be packed in the front steering knuckles on the deuce? OK on the old 4 ball joints I understand but on the new style “U” joints, why does grease need to be packed inside of the knuckles. I tore my front axel down to install a locker. After...

    What is needed to change the gearing in the M37. I have never been inside the rear ends. I know that my rear pinion will screw in and out so it will need to be fixed. I don't have the truck here to look at. I saw a gear set that says it will change the ratio from 583 to 489. The PIC of the...

    What does this rim fit

    I scored another 15.5 XL and it came with a rim. It was a real pain to get the tire dismounted. The lip inside the rim that holds the "O" ring stopped the tire from coming off. After a lot of sledge hammering I got it. I know why they have started replacing the wheels and tires as a unit. The...

    Almost a disaster I repacked all my wheel bearings except for the front right. It had a leaking wheel cylinder so I was waiting until I got a wheel cylinder kit. Well I had a flat on the way to recovering Barrman’s truck so this was a good time to tear it down. All the rest of the bearings...

    Lockers, spools, open?

    Thinking about adding lockers or spools to the M35. For the front axel I thought about a spool. Only time it would be used is off road. I have Overson lockout hubs so on road it would be unlocked. Any real advantages to using a locker up front over a spool if not used on road? Rear axel I...
