40 Dodge 1.5 ton

All we need to know is where is the transmission filler plug on a 40 Dodge one and a half ton duelly flatdeck. I can't see pulling the floor and trans top just to service the lube. Fords all had a square plug on the side and the filler pipe just pumped in lube until it came out the hole. I am down undr for the next month but I will check back here from time to time.

Thanks for any help. She's grinding awful bad.

 

It's there. s****e the old grease and mud and look for a recessed plug. If that fails turn it up on it's side and fill through the PTO plate. LOL

 

That's right. (not the 'roll it over' part, LOL)

S****e the grease off both sides, and look for a flat (or 'recessed') pipe plug; it will have a square hole, for a special wrench. (if it's 3/8", obviously a 3/8" socket extension will do)

If it's 5/16", and there's no old-time station with lube tools, (tool looks like a double-headed dogbone with different size square male nubs on each end) you may have to get a Flea-Market 3/8" drive extension and grind it down 'til it fits.

If she's 'grinding awful bad', you might check the clutch release.

 

You'll surely find it if you're down under there for a month.....

 

Thanks guys, we will find it.

Anyone heardd of the Southwells Auto Museum in New Zealand? Some pretty cool stuff.
