Haven't been working on M37 lately. She gets used for hauling water in the summer and winching projects Winter she is off duty. She has been working OK and following my rule if it ain't broke don't f*** with it I been low profile. Getting ready to go to Aberdeen.

I picked up a new flasher unit at the Aberdeen show...unfortunately I can't remember who I bought it from. Put it on my M37 and when i moved the signal arm the circuit breaker immediately tripped it did this three times. (Put it on the M35A2 and it fried the jumper wire I used to ground it...Obvious...

Well as usual repairs took far longer than anticipated but she was out for a drive yesterday and there were no strange noises from the rebuilt front differential. Many thanks to powerwagontim who provided me a T/O differential and the rebuild kit (and builds a heck of a shipping crate!!). Overhaulin...

I got mine out recently with the sheet metal screw/slide hammer approach. I drilled 8 holes around the seal then worked my way around with the slide hammer just a couple of slaps on each hole. Had to replace the #10 screw a couple of times as the threads began to fail. Took 3-4 trips around before t...

Now for the seal. I tried the drill holes, insert sheet metal screws and use puller, but I couldn't get a good bite on the screws, so I got out the Dremel with the cut off disks and started cutting and chiseling. Several hours, many disks and lots of cussing later, what was left of the old seal cam...

I got my front differential that had been acting up http://www.g741.org/PHPBB/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=4183 out and disassembled. Charles was spot on (as usual) with his diagnosis. One spider gear shaft was in three pieces, there were some teeth missing and the other teeth seriously chewed up. The ma...

Thank you all. It will be a week or two before i can get to it. Will keep you all advised, thanks again.

Haven't been on here in awhile as the M37 has been working OK. However now she has a problem, the front wheels don't drive in 4wd. Found out while I was trying to winch a neighbors van out of the mud. Got the M37 stuck. Front wheels would jerk occasionally accompanied by a banging sound. (had to get...

Yes the shear pin on the front drive shaft and input shaft of the winch, had broke, looks like someone hed put a bolt through the two, which was all boogered up. Drilled all out cleaned it up, put a stainless steal grade 8 back in. Should hold up.. Thanks men. Everyone is so helpful.. Grade 8 you a...

Interesting read, Carter! I guess that's the way Dodge wanted it done. My Chilton's manual never mentioned doing it that way. I can understand doing the compression check when the engine is warm, but if it won't start ya still have to take a cold reading. Also, why do they recommend an open throttl...

Brings back memories... We had an M151a1 in the motor pool that wouldn't start. it would pop and stutter but not start. Typical motor pool approach throw parts at it till it worked. New plugs, points...nada. Motor Sgt figured it had to be the oil pressure safety switch. Whilst they were replacing th...

OK so this is a rant. I just got a renewal notice from Military Vehicles Magazine $17.98 for one year PLUS $3 Shipping and Handling!!!! Now wait a minute if the magazine is $20.98 then say so!! So I guess if I send them $17.98 and tell them to hold my copies I can swing by their office and pick them...
