For this weekends student free job I pulled the front harness and prepped the bed for pulling on Monday. Oh joy! I'm amazed the truck functioned at all!!!!! It was one giant short/fire waiting to happen. There was also the 2+ hour crud removal that I always end up doing when I'm down playing at the ...

As someone new to M37's John's new site is a huge help. It's much easier to locate parts, keep the photos coming! John has also been a big help when I needed it too .

Charles, Thanks for you advice. I think the pin fix I did will work fine. I was fortunate that the hole in the tower was still round and the slot of the shift ball was in good shape. The wear was focused on the old pin. Since the old pin was junk I was unable to use it as a template, but with a bit ...

First I'll apologize that this is not a purely M37 post, but you guys have been so helpful I thought I'd post this. It seems that once you acquire an M37 other similar vehicles start to gravitate in your direction. My buddy who helped tow the M37 to the shop has a line on the beast pictured, apparen...

We pulled the pan today. From what I understand of the 230 oiling/filtering system it works like a settling pot, so I thought we should take a look. The good news is there was very little gunk and the internals of the engine are very clean. This is not what I expected due to past experience with thi...

Well, fixed the problem . Machined a new pin and spring plate and the shifter works well now. I will say installing the spring that supports the shifter was a massive pain in the rump. I think it took me nearly as long to do that as it did to make the parts... I suspect there's a trick!

Hello All,
The students are bugging me about class T-shirts. I've done them in the past and they seem to have expectations. Does anyone have a .jpeg file or something of a simple M37 drawing that we could put on the shirts, the kids would get a kick out of it, and so would I .

I don't think the diff. center section is destroyed, but it's certainly little better than a core. The backlash in the ring and pinion was pretty impressive, I'm surprised no teeth were sheared off the pinion. If all goes well we'll have the front axle assembly back together this week complete with ...

and more!

There's more!

Ok, I know the title was lame, but I couldn't help it! As they say a picture is worth 1000 words. Beware they are gross

I've spoken w/ John and he does not stock any parts for the tower, just whole assemblies. Fortunately the trans internals are clean and rust free, unlike the differentials proved to be! Considering the condition of the pin that was indexing the shifter, the transmission shifted well, the shifter was...

Ahhh, more bits to fix! I've just pulled the shift tower of our early transmission apart. It needs a new pin (7351048) and plate (7351049) and I'm looking for a source. If necessary I can make the pin, but there was not much left of the plate that goes between the shifter "ball" and the sp...

I've used these switches:

They may work for you.

Charles,
Thanks, I'll take a look at the truck today during class and see what ports are accessible and unoccupied. Hopefully the pipe plugs won't be too tight!
