Info needed: 1967 M38A1 Lubrication?

[Les Kovacs]

Thanks to all for your valuable input!

1. To Rob....the jeep passed inspection this AM and I got plated! It was a real crock....they never even took any wheels off to check for brake shoe wear!

2. I will have the front wheel balanced next week.

3. To Rob.....I tried the rad test.....started engine and ran for 1 min....appears to be no pressure when rad cover taken off.

4. Right now the rad fluid is very bright green and about 2 inches above the core.....however, the rad appears to have stopped puking fluid onto the front axle....for now!

6. Rad temp as per gauge goes to about 130-140 after 20 min drive with 2 aboard...is this a normal range?

7. As per #6.....the temp gauge get slightly fogged up in the center after about 3-5min.....is this normal?

8. Changed both diff fluids with 80W90 Motomaster GL4-5.....rear diff fluid was so discoloured (malted milk) that it may have ingested H2O at one time or another. I will change rear fluid in another 1-2 weeks.

Rob....please respond to #6 if time permits.....not sure what temp should be
when run for 20 min.

Still looking for trans oil.....I hear that Redline makes a 75W-90 that does not affect "yellow metals"

Regards for now,
