@gringeltaube Thank you for taking the time, that is exactly what I wanted/needed . 🇺🇸

Hello all . I recently switched from a sprag style T-case to an air shifted case . Then I installed the air switch up under the dash where there has never been one before because this truck has had a sprang case all it's life . The in/out air lines on this switch are pretty small, much...

Mine is full of Amsoil ATF, for two reasons ... 1- I got 4 or 5 gallons of it at a yard sale for 15 bucks . 2- it says right on the bottle that it is specifically for that Allison trans, does Allison know this ? I have no idea . I don't believe that using ATF is going to cause failure, but...

I see no reason whatsoever to remove a million pound T-case just to change an output seal, just pull that rear dl out and get after it, you'll learn first hand that it's not that difficult . By the time you get done reading someone else's opinion of how to do it, you could almost be done .

I bet if you two got together one mornin for a coffee meet & greet, one of you could ride under the hood while the other drives around town and that hissing problem would be located and possibly repaired on the spot ! (Hope it's not a snake)

Welcome to all things Green Metal and beyond 🇺🇸 Where might you hail from ?

@pitpawten Those are some good looking tires Btw, when you do your brake job try just putting a spray nozzle on a hose and using water to do your cleaning before you use the brake clean, you might be surprised how well it works .

75mph with short tires and 4.56 gears ? I dont think so Even with an overdrive you'd be at 3 grand plus on the tach 456s are some steep gears for short tires . I've had alot of rigs with 410s 456s and 513s, the last two not at all highway friendly with short tires and no overdrive, and...

You very seldom see the single fan models anymore, that's an oldie, very cool old bird, thanks for sharing ! 🇺🇸

What do you mean by it sets too low, it's too low for the fan shroud or your oil pan is hitting the crossmember or what ?

Does it have oil in it ? Like, is it full of 90wt ? I ask because it sounds like you had someone else do the job, and if you want something done right it's important that you do it yourself . As far as the tire making a sound every rotation, that's not going to match the rotation of the...

If you have a turbo, then get rid of the cat and the muffler and let your engine live free . At least gut the cat for God's sake .

@pitpawten quote: "so I hammered out any weirdness" You should have made a video, I feel this could help a lot of people

@pitpawten Get your batteries in and get it running, show the kids it still lives, they will refuel your enthusiasm, then just one thing at a time, easy peasy (as the kids say)

I literally forgot GM used the 4500, my brain is fried . IF thats a GM model then, easy peasy . I assumed it was an early dodge unit

Well one alternative would be to jettison all that brake nonsense for later use as cannon fodder, eliminating any future problems they will cause .

With the cookfest figure 8 pattern T-case, so you're also gonna need a T-case with the NP 6 bolt round pattern, correct input and pass drop for your cucv . That trans is the early model they used behind the non wastegated 12 valves . I'm not typically an auto guy, but I'd take a TH400 over...

Personally I'd unhook the vacuum line down at the modulator while it's running and verify a vacuum signal .

Ok so I did a thing, I hooked my Deuce to my 5 ton with my new to me tow bar and dragged it around on the property for a couple laps to see how it felt and see if I could make anything go wrong, which it did . Vid here: Here's a few pics too .

In my experience I've found the long ones on the old 5 tons and the short ones on the Deuce's, there are also older ones that run oil in them, there is literally a fill and drain plug iirc
