    Unleaded Fuel in M38A1

    I am a noob to these jeeps and I was wondering if there are any engine precautions to take since you have to run unleaded gas or if it is ok to run unleaded in it as is?

    4L80E or 700R4

    The 4L80E is a 32 count spline. The 3L80 is the same i believe. Has any one changed the transmission and not the transfer case or would it be recommended to change the transfer case also. Sorry for all the questions, just want to make sure I do this right.

    4L80E or 700R4

    Thanks for all the info gents. Can I put in the 4L80E and not change the transfer case? I know the drive shafts have to be shorter. I have the original transfer case.

    4L80E or 700R4

    I am looking for peoples opinions on which transmission is better and why they think so. I have been doing research on gearing and so forth. I would just like to know from people who have used them. I am planning on changing soon to be nicer to my 6.5LTD. Thanks.

    3L80 Engine RPM

    Thanks for all the info. Is the 700r4 a better deal than a 4l80e? I don't mean in terms of labor, but is it basically an equivilant?. I spent the money to put a 6.5LTD in and I want to treat it nice. Second I would be interested in getting a tach, thanks for the heads up.

    Thanks for the comments. I did not even notice the star. Since we are both Marines, we can just take those off and make it a Marine Jeep. Funny I didn't see that.

    I just bought a M38A1. It's in great shape. I am going to give it to my Grandfather for his birthday. He was in Korea and has mentioned many times he would like one. I look forward to picking your brains for info on these. Here are some pics.

    USMC Silent Drill Platoon in So. Cal.

    I was in the Drum and Bugle Corps for some time. We did this show every year. As for going to the mid west, we didn't seem to perform there much. I had wished we would have played in the mid west more since I have lots of family in Colorado. You can always request them to come.

    Transmission Upgrade Questions

    Thanks for the info. I don't think I would like that very much. I think I will put a computer in over manually shifting.

    Transmission Upgrade Questions

    I don't know much about transmissions so sorry if this sounds stupid. If I put a manual valve body on, then it is a mechanical transmission correct? Would it shift smooth, or would you have to add different parts on top of the valve body?

    Fuel burning heater smoke

    The heater is a SW. I have not had any starting problem. It takes about 1 minute to get going and runs fine.
