I actually have the same exact problem in my turbo 400 in my jeep truck and I just rebuilt it, although it did it before too. I talked to a guy that really knows these transmissions and he said it pretty much has to be that the linkage is adjusted wrong or a spring in the transmission that...
Hey guys,
So i've got this gear driven transfercase that i pulled out of a truck that seemed similar to an M211, as it had nearly the same axles. It also had the 302 inline six but it had a manual transmission. The transfercase has shafts for switching into low range and for the front output...
Oh alright thanks. Although it looks like it may be easier to get some HEMTT wheels because I was wanting to get some adapters to mount 5 ton wheels to 2 1/2 ton axles.
Hey everybody,
So I got a set of 5 ton wheels a while back but don't know anything about them. They're a two piece double beadlock lock wheel with 20 studs per wheel. I've attached a pic. I was wondering what trucks these came on and where i could get o-rings and valve stems for them. Any info...
Yeah i actually tried that. I lifted the whole back of my jeep truck off the ground with the hi-lift on the tire bead. But i guess if I would have went around the whole tire using this method it may have worked. Sadly I'm kind of impatient.
Yeah I actually got a duckbill hammer and broke a tire down last night. I was pretty excited about it. It took me a couple of hours but hey it worked. I appreciate the help guys.
Huh, the angle iron is an interesting idea. But i'm worried that if I tried it i'd somehow mess up the tire. But i'm definitely gonna give the duckbill hammer a shot next time I get a chance to mess with the tires.
Wow i really appreciate all the replies. I'll definitely get a duckbill hammer and give it a shot. I kinda wondered about driving a vehicle up on the tire to try to get it to break. Is this just a bad idea? Would it harm the tire?
I've got some 9.00x20 tires on some of the split rims and I'm currently trying to get the tires off of the rims. I'm assuming the bead has to be broken before the lock ring can be taken off. What's the best way to break the bead on one of these tires? I've not had to much luck so far and I...
It might be better to post this in the 5 ton section, but i was gonna see if anyone had some 5 ton wheels. I only need four. I'm looking to run some 46 inch XMLs on them. The only catch is that i'm gonna run them on 2 1/2 ton axles so i need the 6 lug pattern. I figured i could recenter them or...
Thanks for the ideas everyone. I eventually got really annoyed with this as i've been working on it for a while so i just took my angle grinder with a cutting wheel and put a cut down the drum right above the wheel cylinder. Even though i'll now have to get another drum, i'm glad i did this...
Thanks for the quick replies everyone. Yeah i tried the adjusters. One felt like it wasn't even doing anything, but the other did feel like it may have been helping. I didn't really know how to get any penetrating oil in the drums to make a difference. So if I try to pull the hub off with the...
I looked around some before posting so hopefully this question hasn't already been asked. But one of my rear drums is seized up real bad(this is on a M211 axle by the way). I've used a really big sledge on it with very little success. So are the pads most likely rusted up to the drum? Whats the...
If anybody is interested at all please let me know. I think its going to the scrap yard within the next week. I'm pulling some wheels and maybe some axle parts. I think it has a good motor, axles and frame. If there are any little items anyone can think of I'd be happy to look. I'd love for...
