I came over here to see what "Hawky" was doing. I have a 3A too you know. I don't descriminate when it comes to Jeeps---LOL.� 8-) Oilly
Oh boy, I guess you guys were right about my smart comments. Went out to go to the store and my jeep is completely gone, looks to be a total existence failure at this point. This is going to be tough to explain to my schotty insurance provider.

Hey GMC -
What are you using for a spare tire bracket? Is it just the 3A style one or do you have the M38 one with the bottom support as well? I was thinking of adding a 3A one to my M38 tailgate but wasn't sure if it would hold up. I'm thinking there must have been a reason the extra support was added to the M38 ones.
could be wear on one or more of the parts.
Looks like someone swapped in a retainer half that didn't match the other one..Probably after they dropped one while doing a valve job and couldn't find it...Good sleuthing to find that one!
gmcjr,
�Yes, that chart does help. �It helps a lot. �The only thing is, now you've embarrassed me because when Carl sees this I'll be in trouble. �I just hate it when he's right. �(Just kidding.) �
�
�Seriously, though, this chart has caused me to do a Google study of viscosity classifications (in order to properly understand the chart). �I must admit that it's not the first time I assumed something to be a certain way just to find out it wasn't that way at all. �I remember my dad quoting an old German friend, "So soon vee get old. So late vee get smart."
�So, my conclusion will be, as I go though my Jeep preparation for this summer's drives, I will inspect the transmission gear oil for metalic flecks. �If there are any I will drain it and install straight mineral oil, most likely aviation 50 wt. non-detergent, uncompounded engine oil.
�I have saved the chart where it will be available for easy access in the future. �Thanks again, I really do appreciate the "education".
QuoteThe 30 wt engine oil is about equivalent to the 90 wt mineral oil. I still use the GL4-5 in the front and rear axles.Carl, I may be the only one needing an education here, but help me understand 30 wt engine oil being about the same viscosity as 90 wt mineral oil. �When we were on this topic last go around a month or two ago I mentioned I would like to use straight mineral (non-detergent uncompounded) aviation engine oil, which comes in 40 and 50 wt. �I was under the impression that viscosity ratings applied equally to all lubricating oils. �
The spark plugs are 14mm...
And so why are they metric...? The early manufacturer of the spark plug, Albert Champion, was French.....
