Re: Rebuild progress, Thread #2 (3/2/10) PG 7

If you follow Tom's (snake River 4x4) instructions to mount the steering gear, you are not going to have the interference issue.
There's a picture in his website that makes cristal clear where to drill the holes for the steering gear mount.

Re: Summit Racing Customer Service

Its been my experience that smaller businesses generally provide better service - simply because they need your repeat business to stay alive. Corporations won't worry about a single order, or customer, unless they are spending many thousands of dollars. We as enthusiasts don't even register as a b...

Re: Summit Racing Customer Service

Amen, I've decided some time ago that If the customer service person who picked the call is not helpfull, I just hangup, call again and start over, the chances of getting the same person to pick your call twice is slim. Of course in shops like Summit or Jegs, not in a small business where mamma or P...

Re: Summit Racing Customer Service

Jegs is not better than Summit, I can tell you that. I've ordered a pair of GM vortec heads from them one week ago through their website system. Ok, a couple of days later I received an email telling they needed more information to precess my order. Ok, I called to the number and extension in the em...

Re: Locking hubs on M37?

AVM and Superwinch are the same thing, both made by AVM in Brazil.
I don't know if the use the Superwinch brand for the US market or Superwinch buys AVM production of certain hubs.
Down here you can get AVM boxes with Superwinch hubs inside.

It has been mentioned to me to do a guide a number of times. I really would love to do one, however it boils down to this. There is simply not enough hours in the day to run a rebuild/restoration shop and have the extra time to devote to a writting project such as this. I have no idea how profitabl...

I thought Richmond Gears was the only company making the 4.89 gears for the Dodge axles.
The logo engraved in the polyestirene crate is the richmond gears logo. (two diamonds overlapped)

Thanks Charles, Tim I believe Tom at Snake River considered reproducing these or a similar top a while back. You might check with him to see if he can add anything. He has those tops for sell in his website, I think the price is right, the catch is the shipping. Shipping something the size of that ...

That's a great engine. I think it may lack a little grunt for the M-37 (and that's an opinion, you know how much an opinion is worth, right?). I think it would be a great powertrain for a Jeep. A friend of mine has an M38-A1 with an SD33. It can rev to 4000rpms easily, though the belhousing bolt pat...

I just couldn't resist it, I've fighted the need to post that, but the need won over me, sorry. :lol:

Lifer, If my memory is not failing me, wasn´t you the one talking about a pink camo M-37 in the past?

Is that what you mean with staying away of military colors on multitone paint jobs? :lol:

Shame on you, my friend. :oops:

I´ve been around this forum for a long time too. HaHaHaHa

War is partly to blame for this current depression, given the uncontrolled spending of the previous administration's need for "occupation" of sandy countrys... A war of the same magnitude of WWII today wouldn't help the economy one bit. WWII put people to work building the infrastructure ...

Perhaps we should adopt Argentina's compulsory voting law. Then, we'd have a government that more closely represented "we the people." I don't think that would be a solution. I've voted many times and I can't remember once voting for the one I liked, rather voting for the least bad :( Act...
