On a few issues, like youres, I have removed the teardrop shim behind the cam sensor, ( eng. pos. sensor) and the engine cranked up, did you check the condition of the RPM-TDC sensor in the flywheel housing? The engine can run on one or the other,(not very well) but will run. If the rpm-tdc is bad, loose, dirty, or bad wires, given its location, it gets a lot of dirt thrown at it.. the wires dangle and break down over time. anyway, you are getting a lot of help here, my thoughts are to keep it simple first, and fix what you see is broken.. Good Luck, jojo

yes sir's..... what I mean is ... the yoke rotated a little over 3 1/4 turns to make the wheel rotate once. That's how I got 3.30:1.. ish.. I will still look for numbers on the yoke.. Jojo
-
I have always rotated the wheel or drive shaft and counted the yoke revs for 1 full turn of the drive tire, When I didnt have the info on paper or a tag. 3.31:1 is one that Int. used, but it was in Scouts. mabey they had a ratio that close back then in this truck... Seem's too high to me... I will just spend the $100.00 on E-bay and buy a service manual. I saw a few listed.. Thank you all for advising me on this.

Hello, Quick farms... I raised one wheel and marked it and the yoke. I turned the wheels and got a small bit more than 3 1/4 turns. I figured it would be about a 3.30:1 ratio, but another "poster" said I need to double that number.... So that would be 6.60:1.... Any thoughts? I cant imagine it would have highway gears...

I'm about to take spokes off an '86 RW and change it to budd's.. That's why I need one more shield.. Jojo

Hello all,,, There is a 1"x1/2" relief on the outside of the diff assembly. it has 396 stamped in it.. i'm still trying to find out what it means.. Jojo
-
Thanks Alex... Those usually get tossed out during a wheel end repair... I will try to convince my customer to leave them off... Thanks Jojo
-
thanks Paul, I willl do that. I was going to look for the 2 numbers on the pinion housing... as was suggested in other posts, as well. Jojo
-
Thanks Mark, I will look for that tomorrow, Jojo
-
I think it's a 269 c.i.d. .. 100 H.P./ 300 FtLbs of torque... There was a (7something:1) ratio listed in the page I read, but I didnt' believe it.. .. Just for kick's i will jack it up on one side and turn the wheel and count the Pinion rev's... I will post it. 😀 Jojo

Hello Alex.. Have you got one of these dust shields? I am working on an '86 RW and the owner wants them put on the rears. I have 3, Go figure 🤔 Thanks, Jojo

i remember the coolant issue....Jojo

Engine position sensor???? 3-2 right? The 9-2 code can do that too... You Go!! "V"
-
Yes it does...🤣 Im goin to remove it in the spring time... The glass and seals are in storage.. All new too... I'm going to keep the intermittent wipers though.. Un-like my '73 Scout... this truck didn't come with factory appointed rust... Must not have been an option in '48? ...jojo
-
Here are 6 more pics of my Old Truck, The sun was very bright! I tried to get as much detail as possible. She runs... I really like the intermittent wipers...🤣

I was thinking that too about the gearing, It may have around a 4:18 or 5:11 rear gear if I looked it up correctly... I may just lift a wheel off the ground, mark it at 12o'clock, then slowly turn it and start counting. It'l probably just be a cool grocery getter... I should be driving it this spring, and yes it will be fun. Jojo

Thanks guy's.. I'm not sure what to put on her back.... It's a toy, not a work truck.. Probably just use it to buy groceries...😁 really I thought about a small camper, Heck,,, I don't know... Throw some ideas at me. Of course a nice rack body would be cool.. Jojo

Thanks again,,Jojo

How do I find out if she's Canadian? I assume with the vin? I haven' t looked yet... I would also like to find a forum on Internationals... I had a '73 scout back in the late 80's. It was my "woods buggy" up in Maine... Thanks guys. Jojo
-
Thank you.. The inside is just as nice...I'm still learning the proper forums to do that and chat about it too... Jojo
-
she's a work in progress.... The tires are all new. (The glass and seals are in storage), the grille trim is in the cab in a box... but otherwise, she's all there.. I just got it in Oct. and have been too busy to do anything yet. I'm proud to have her. I will get some interior pics and engine pics. She's a time capsule from 1948.. Thanks for youre interest, Jojo

I've been to bunch of big truck shows as a spectator, But 2021 should be better, If I can get my 1948 KB7 together, I'm going to try to attend shows with my own truck, for the first time... Merry Christmas and Happy new year!!! Jojo
