Last night my best friend brought by some yellow grease from work, and this morning I did the yellow grease thingy on the gears. Sent the pictures you see below to a very good friend of mine in Idaho who is an expert on gears, and he said leave it alone.
So after the good news I ordered all the bearings, seals, etc... to get this truck back on the road. They should be in by mid week, and I hope to be able to have it back out by next weekend.
It is great to have good friends who help out!
Stay tuned!
