Shoe to drum adjustment is extremely important, be sure you do it right or you will surely have substandard braking action. Most M37's that come through here with a complaint of poor brakes are found to be 99.5% because of improperly adjusted shoe to drum clearances. The original brake system works...

My truck is running with the 100 amp system. Please feel free to ask any questions and I'll help you out the best I can. I can provide pictures if you need that, too.

And your truck should have an alternator, not a generator. That's what the rectifier is used for. It converts the AC to DC.

Both types of mechanical pumps I have used on my M-37 were self priming. Now, it's probably better on your batteries to try to get the fuel up to the pump manually first, but it should work either way. I use a dangerous process of 'priming' my truck, but I'd not recommend it.

dman, The pumps are easy to differentiate if you know what the original looks like. Here are two pictures. The first is the military pump (fuel pump on top and vacuum pump on bottom) with the priming lever easily identifiable. The second pump is the common civilian pump used. I'm using the civilian ...

And it's a good idea to go ahead and hook up a vacuum gauge, if available, and adjust your idle mixture screw for max vac if your adjusting your idle speed.
