They will work on sprag, but the overunning clutch will still spin the front driveshaft and gears, so no gain there. Airshift and desplined hubs will completely disconnect the driveshaft and gears from turning. Desplined the hubs for my deuce with a boring bar. By the time you remove the...

Just judging from playing with hydraulic valve pistons, and just my opinion, a fine lapping compound would smooth that out. Doesn't look bad, those scratches appear less than a .001 deep. Dennis

Guess we would need a poll of who wants what. .66 for 9-20's and .71 for 11-20's sounds good(just my opinion) Tom, do these 5th gearsets come in another transmission? Or are you using these ratios because they are used in another position of the transmission, just on opposite shafts? I really...

Sorry about the chart, will try to fix it so the numbers line up. Pissing me off! Found the chart in another post, but for LDS, not LDT motor. The LDS motors are more powerfull than the standard LDT motor found in a Deuce...

Okay, I also was making some charts. This is using 11-20 tires, with rolling circumference of 131 inches. I went to the Titan tire website, and used the above measurement for all speeds, since this is the tire I have. Notice the rolling circumference is not equal to figuring out the...

This has been covered before. Took me a while to grasp the concept the first time, but kenny is right, the spider gears won't turn in a straight line. I can try to explain, but I suck at it. All four tires on both axles are spinning the same rate in a straight line. The carrier is connected...

I would pefer the .71 ratio...

That's a BIG repair job. Your over halfway there, getting everything loose sucks. Like how everything is blocked. What caused the pivot to wear out? Dennis

Would love to see a mod to the transfer or transmission for a tad more overdrive. According to one tire manufacturer, 11-20 ndt's are 43 inches tall. I would rather see a 5th gear mod. 4th to 5th seems really close on the deuce. But transfer would work also! 2400 rpm at 65mph would be...

I found a weight of 3200lbs for the 12v-71... Multi is 1600 I think, and comes close to overloading the front axle with a winch.

Did you swap out the stock gearset in the tranny? Would LOVE to see 60 MPH and 2100 rpm.

Yanked mine out with just removing the six bolts a side, disconnecting the drive shaft, and removing the brush guard. Also put a piece of 3/8 plywood between the radiator and winch to prevent damage. Used a loader to pull it. Putting back in can be fun, the plates that the winch bolts to may...

Check your return line to the tank, make sure when your inline pump is running you have fuel returning to tank. Had my return line stop working, and had great power, lots of smoke. May have been the FDC also, since I was running a variety of fuels in the truck. My hillbilly fix was to drain...

I've been happy with the magazine. Costs more than I would like for just 6 issues, but figure I have saved that much and more with the articles and ad's for parts. Seems like a good mix of large and small MVs. Dennis

I think Westy's rigging the poll. How the heck did 5-ton get so far ahead?

More pics! That's a good load your hauling around, truck looks like it handles it fine.

Had the same thing happen to the front driveshaft of my truck, froze for no apparent reason. put a hole in my heavy-duty work bench and used a jack and chain to pull it apart. Shaft worked fine after cleaning and putting back together. I would go with Robert's suggestion. Having spent many...

Anyone else having problems seeing these pics? Last pics from iraq couldn't see them either. Dennis That was weird, posted my reply and the pics showed up.

No need to pull the driveshaft. If you need to unlock the rear axles, pulling an axle shaft out does the same thing, and much easier to do. Just put a front drive flange on the hub to cover the hole. Better to pull an axle from the front tandem axle, the rearmost axle has better traction. I...

RE: Re: RE: M715 video rescueing two civvy trucks in the mud Ya missed it Chris, had water up my arse this time at haspin. Did ya know a jeep without a tailgate makes an excellent water scoop in reverse? Dennis
