Great truck Trenton, nice vids Al. I recognized another M truck in there, also looks a lot like my shop.

[Kaiserjeeps]

Both your shops were way to clean.

Truck is back together. All the bodywork back on. Brakes adjusted and wheels back on.

Just need some time to mess with adjusting the clutch. Prob need to bleed it again too.

Yep, you win. I just made two steps back this week. Clutch is binding. Had to pull the tranny.

Also, one of my axles has developed a nasty leak and puked its fluild on the ground.

Nothing will happen until next week.

[ryanroo]

its always something. i filled my radiator up for the first time and it started leaking with no pressure. i know it was good before because i pullled it from a running truck a few years ago, and it never leaked.

sounds like its time for the CUCV axle swap. never mind filling that old one up.

i am looking forward to making it out to the PNW sometime and wheeling with all you guys, so make sure that rig is ready

Plan for the weekend is to get the flywheel/clutch issue resolved and the axle sealed.

If I am not on the road by Monday I am lighting it on fire.

[Jester]

Dang it!!!!! Cannot get the clutch to release. Pulled the tranny, took the clutch apart - nothing amiss. Have bleed the clutch three or four times. Have a feeling that I am just not getting the air out.

Wishing I had done a linkage at this point. So close to tearing out the hydro and building one.
