T 90 trans and transfer case for 1952 M38A1

Driving home from impromptu VE Day display I shifted to second gear and let the clutch out and all kinds of racket started. Haven’t had time to look at it yet but am sure will need to pull Tran and transfer case. Pretty sure some hard parts broke. Will still move slowly in low and third. If I decide ...

Wes, I’m hoping to figure out how to use the speaker that plugs into the military radio in my Jeep. Knew it was short notice. This is something I’ve wanted to do for a while and when this came up over the weekend I decided to get off my tail and get it done. I’ve downloaded some audio onto my IPAD ...

If I read correctly you earlier said carb was flooding. Oil diluted with gasoline is a quick way to eat up a bearing. The other thing that can happen is turning the motor over with a cylinder full of gasoline can knock a bearing out or even bend a rod. I hope this isn’t your problem but it is sure ...

Going to start looking in manual but to me seems like brakes need adjusting. No fluid leaks(master cylinder or lines or wheel cylinders visible. Really think that ...

The Jeep is marked with Texas National Guard 36th Infantry 143-3. If I understand the chart it should have a 68/ for Infantry. Can someone tell me if any of the ...
