    ATF coming out between trans. support and transfer case M1008

    There's a gasket most of the time between the trans and transfer case. If it is coming from there I would pull it to see if it is a gasket or a surface oring. Probably a gasket and if so put some gray RVT (first clean and try out the matting surfaces) and let the truck sit for a while (half a...

    Was the timing of the IP messed with at all?

    Anyone know what these "Loops" on the bumper are for?

    With the wider stance and not having the center of the tire close/if not over the center between the two bearing is just asking for trouble IMO.

    Blow-by assessment - opinions needed!

    Thanks for the explanation makes perfect sense.

    Anyone know what these "Loops" on the bumper are for?

    So that would indicate the hubs aren't flip then, if the rims are dished out. Here is a side shot (Bad, probably means the hubs aren't flip?) http://hickory.craigslist.org/cto/4650141687.html (Dished in, indicating hubs have been flip and the most correct way to run singles?)

    Anyone know what these "Loops" on the bumper are for?

    Gimp, if you are referring to my picture the owner said they flipped the hubs. How would the loops play in to it when a winch was added?

    Blow-by assessment - opinions needed!

    How is the compressor tied in to creating blow by? I've seen the mount the compressor mounts to and looks as if it is almost part of the block?

    Fantastic! Love the history of these trucks.

    Anyone know what these "Loops" on the bumper are for?

    Hey guys I've found this truck somewhat close to me and saw these loops. Just curious what they are for, owner said to hold a winch but that is not correct as those are mounted to the frame.

    DEUCE spin on oil filters!!!!

    A few pages back (page 13) a member mention the pressure drop from oil pump-filters-oil gallery. Thus the talk about how these engines were more prone to failure due to not being worked vs their tractor counterparts. My question would be, this seems from the OEM filters not having...

    Reliability A2 Vs A3

    Do not need a CDL since I'm not for hire. Getting a airbrake endorsement at the most, or class B regular license. It is not hard with my other job (with my father.) HX? Parts for any of the machines are big and heavy. I would not even think of getting one without having the means to...

    Reliability A2 Vs A3

    CAT does no encourage it at all from what I'm told, but I'll have to do some more digging. The a3's are a little out of my price range it seems and for the $ I could get a 5 ton and it be more comfortable higher speed and etc. Personally I like the looks of the 5 tons and interior (can't...

    Reliability A2 Vs A3

    Yes sir, I've been reading there as well. I do plan to filter down to 5 or 3 micron with three steps and run a mixture of at least 20% diesel or more. the idea is to cut fuel cost as much as possible with in reason, that reason is running no less than 20% diesel.

    Reliability A2 Vs A3

    Kinda of a silly question but my search results did not yield that much. I looked at a A3 today and drove it. Mech seems fine other than 2 pinion seals need replacing and oil pan gasket. Any who the owner of the A3 said how the a2's engines are not reliable compare to CAT engines. I do believe...
