Nice start for a project. I always did like the M37. nice military vehicle and just the right size to be able to do a restoration and / or running repairs in the average size garage. [thumbzup]
I always kind of figured that the genius that configured the Tcase linkage had the drawing upside down. Just never made any sense to have that heavy shift lever bouncing around just trying to drop into neutral. :roll:
I still run the NDCC/NDT 9 – 20 originals on mine. They are a compromise and the only real issue is they have no grooving/channels so they are very poor on wet roads and the very small contact area means they will wear quite quickly if you do a lot of driving. Aired down they worked good in the...
You can also do a oil analysis. Most truck shops can supply the test kit and have the test done or you can use a mail in service like this. FYI I have no interest either financial or otherwise in this company.

2. Check air pressure. Gage (4) should read 85-120 psi.
3. If air pressure gage (4) reading is correct...
Something to check also is the vent for the fuel tank cap. Mine froze closed from corrosion and a vacuum formed in the fuel tank and shut down the engine. At first I wasn't sure what the heck was going on because after sitting for a while it would start back up and run for another 20 ~ 30...
That right there makes it worth every penny as far as I would be concerned. I can fix mechanical issues but I can't do body work so anything with rust and rot costs me 2 ~ 3 times more to fix because I have to have it done and then you never really know if it was done with best practices and...
