    Is differential wear normal?

    I always thought the differentials and gear cases (transfer excluded) were indestructible.. is it normal a 40 rear differential can get so much wear the teeth will break?

    BJ40 rim advice

    have had my 79 BJ40 DD for over 15 years.. the rims have always been a mashup of styles and sizes (7 and 8 inch).. recently came across a 45 selling 4 matching rims that matched one of mine so the dream of having matching rims (including spare) was born. first problem was one of the rims off the...

    BJ40 gurgle sound for about 10s when shutting off

    FWIW seems to be a leak in the vacuum tank.. it sounds like water but it's actually the tank depressurizing..

    Lock front wheel when changing tires

    Silly question... had the front wheel in the air while changing a tire and i couldn't get it to stop spinning. In theory if i put the transfer in 4H and the hub in 4x4 and the truck is in gear or the handbrake engaged it shouldn't spin right? Could it be a problem with the hub (can't remember...

    BJ40 gurgle sound for about 10s when shutting off

    Has happened twice so far, so not consistent enough for me to jump out, pop the hood and pinpoint where the sound is coming from before it stops. When i first heard it i had just parked, pulled the choke and then heard a gurgling sound like water draining for about 10s but stopped before i could...

    Stuck in reverse

    Thank you! Do you have a reference for the springs? I had the clutch changed recently and the mechanic mixed up the springs at least once

    Stuck in reverse

    Was about to descend a very steep hill and went to put it in the low gear and I think maybe it didn't enter completely and then I tried to put it from neutral into first and it wouldn't enter any gear, it appeared to be stuck in neutral. I took my foot off the clutch and the motor stalled. Tried...

    Popping out of gear at low speeds

    Recently had the clutch replaced but now have a problem where it pops out of gear when the truck isn't moving or at slow speeds.. so far I'm able to drive fine just keeping my hand on the shifter to keep it in gear until the truck is cruising.. ideas?
