I REMEMBER READING ABOUT IT IN 4 WHEELS AND OFFROAD. JUAN, HOW IS YOUR PROJECT WITH THAT 500HP WILLYS GOING? HAVE YOU DONE ANY WORK/RESTORATION TO YOUR M37? (BESIDES DRIVING IT THAT IS LOL )

Well the M/37 has been daily driven 150 miles, with absolutely 0 maintenance other than oil and filter changes every 3 1/2 months.
That was till today that I bought a '09 RAM Laramie 2500HD (Luckily still 5.9 cummins TD for our market) with 30K miles to take on the M daily duties.
The 6.2 diesel engine is starting to show it's mileage, and I've just finished rebuilding a 6.5 TD from a 98 Suburban to take it's place under the hood of the M37. I'm also replacing the noisy heavy and ankward 3053A with a ZF 5S-42 4WD tranny, I'm planing to purchase a STak 3 speed or an Atlas 4 speed Tcase, I just can't make up my mind yet. No more divorced t/cases for me, thanks. So the M-37 is going back to it's toy truck roll again.
I must be getting old cause I've started to miss the a/c, stereo, power everything and all the ammenities the M-37 is lacking.

The willy's project is going fine, it's on the upholstery shop right now, that's not my project car it's a customer's car that I'm doing in my shop.

I'll see If somehow I can find the link to this guy's photo album to post here and you can see it from the very beginning.

WAS WITHOUT INTERNET FOR A FEW DAYS. I BET THAT THE NEW RAM WILL GIVE YOU PLENTY OF THE CREATURE COMFORTS THE M DOES NOT GIVE. I SEE THAT WITH MY 98 RAM. YET, THE M IS A CLASS ON ITS OWN. HAVE YOU FIGURED OUT THE 6.5/ZF/ T CASE MATING YET? IT WOULD SEEM TO ME QUITE A TASK TO SQUIZE THAT "GERMAN" ZF INBETWEEN THE TWO "AMERICANS." METRIC-STANDARD NIGHTMARE GALLORE, OR SO I THINK
