For just a parking brake 2 disks on whatever 2 pinions you choose would be a vast improvement over the stock deuce parking brake. And would work well in conjunction with the stock park brake. For an emergency brake I would think a minimum of 4 disks. Even then I would imagine one shot and...

Well after reading their description of the pinion brake my local shop offers I learned a few things. 1. You can run them in conjunction with a drive shaft. 2. They use a Toyota caliper and Mazda rotor. What models specifically I do not know. 3. The rotor does need minor modification.

I might be incorrect on the Mazda/ford ranger disk. I thought that's what they told me but its been a while. It is definitely off of something that has 4 lug bolts. I do remember the disk they showed me was an off the shelf duralast rotor from autozone. And yes, they chose that particular...

I don't see why you couldn't put a disk on each pinion flange. Keep in mind each time you add one this is more $$$$. So how many would it take to make a useful emergency brake and how much would such a system cost?

If you had a pinion brake on the front and rear most axle it would stop an empty duece.......once. The pinion brakes would then be a molten puddle of slag. Keep in mind most pinion brakes for a rockwell 2.5 ton axle are a Mazda b series truck front disk. They aren't exactly large in...

Inspect the shafts and housings for weep holes. Maybe they get clogged sometimes. Can't say for sure since I haven't torn one down this far.

These lube themselves just like my mud pump does. The angle and direction of the gear teeth isn't by accident. They spray the gear oil to a specific point.

I guess you could pull the side cover on the chunk and see if any oil is in there. There isn't a fill or drain port on the upper chunk. Even if you were supposed to grease the bearings what lubes the ring and pinion?

This is incorrect. The caps are what attach the axle shaft to the hub to drive the wheel. So if you remove the caps and the transfer case is disengaged then the axle shafts will not rotate. They won't whip around. It won't hurt anything. Now if you were wanting to disengage the front axle...

Pull the center caps on the front axle. That way nothing rotates except the wheels. Pulling the drive shaft will only stop the output of the transfer case from spinning.

I would think Steve6x6x6 could answer your question. I would like to know myself honestly.

You can cut the housing open and retrieve the plug I believe.

Disk brakes require less fluid per stroke than drums. The deuce M/c is plenty. You just need to add a remote reservoir so as the pads wear there is plenty of fluid in reserve.

Pinion brakes make a good parking brake and are good for rock crawlers. That's about it.

He needs to find a local turbo rebuild shop.

I do too. It's an outdated and false belief.

Does it still have the data plate or is that missing from the turbo?

To be fair an m35a3 does require the fuel tank to be pressurized to prime the fuel system sometimes. So you aren't as far off as you might have thought.

A normal warm up won't hurt anything. So you either have engine oil coming through the exhaust or the seals on the turbo are giving out.

If you have that much unburnt fuel (even if it is motor oil as fuel) you have problems still. Do you idle the truck a lot? Like 30 min or more at a time?
