kurusetre, dharmasetre On the field of battle, on the field of the kurus. I will remember you. ... and don't let the *******s get you down. THANKS

Hi Mr. Carlson, Thank you so much for this reference, I had the rear main seal replaced plus the 3 rear shaft U-joints plus the flex plate (all parts were mine, including special HD Piers flexplate and qty 3 Spicer U-joints plus the Cummins rear seal). I thought the price ($803. 33) was...

When I'm in 2WD and shift into reverse I get a loud clunking noise. When I am in 4WD (high) and shift into reverse there is no clunking noise at all. Anybody know if this means the bad u-joint(s) are in the front or the rear driveshaft? Thanks!

I am having some trouble confirming the right p/n for Spicer U-Joints for my 1993 W-250 (auto trans). Napa says they only carry Precision brand. Napa also says my truck need 6 U-Joints - I thought there was only 5. If somebody can confirm these spicer p/n 's I would sure appreciate it...

Anybody know of a top notch repair shop to replace my 1993 W250 RR mail seal? I'm in Northern Virginia near Washington, DC. Thanks!

There was some surface rust just beginning to show from sitting in the CA sun for 10 years. I sanded it off since it was an affront to all that is decent and right. Then I buried it. My A/C works fine, but even if it didn't, I wouldn't have bought a truck like this if I couldn't have handled...

You can smack it, and you can whack it, but I don't think you're gonna crack it.

Ron I live in Springfield, VA near the giant mixing bowl highway project, about 17 miles from ground zero, I mean, Washington, D. C. Thanks for the invitation to use your lift, but I think I am going to do this work in my Dad's garage near Warrenton, VA. If TDR ever has an East Coast...

I believe the specs for the Deka are 1260 CA and 1125 CCA. I paid $82. 00 for mine, but had some trouble finding a local distributor.

So far what I am getting out of this thread is there are 3 methods for gaining access to the rear main seal: 1. Jack the truck up high enough to remove the transmission. A low profile transmission jack will help here. Safety is maximized by using a transmission jack instead of a bolt on attachment to your...

Thanks for all the help. I ended up filling the new filter with fuel and did not bother to prime the system. It started right up. There is a lot of stuff on this board about changing the filter. I can only add that I found it worth while crawling underneath the truck to gain visual access to the...

Thanks for the advice Caleb. I understand that by using your method I can replace both the rear main seal and the flex plate without having to remove the automatic transmission. Can I also replace the cam plug using this method?

Phillip, I will look for the Low-Jack. Thanks for spelling T-C-A-S-E for me. Alan

Travis, do I need a special tool to install the frt seal in the auto trans? Also, when I changed the clutch in my old 1971 911T I dropped the engine and transmission as a unit and then unbolted them. Not sure what you mean by remove the t-case. That is, I really can't picture it in my head...
