Good luck with the resto. I am trying to do a rolling restoration on mine, the only problem is that every time I get it rolling I find another thing to fix:smile: Even though it is not perfect, it still turns a lot of heads and 99% of people can not tell the little things that are missing.

That is helpful but it did not really say if GL1 will work or not. I will probably go with the NAPA GL1 for the trans and transfer case. GL5 is fine for the diffs right? I have not seen anything about them having yellow metal.

Does the GL1 offer an acceptable level of protection or do I need to wait to find GL4? I want to so it right so I don't have to replace anything

I went to get my gear oil today and quickly discovered that everything is GL5. I don't want to mess up my jeep but I cannot find GL4 for the life of me. I did see a GL1 gear oil, would that work OK in the trans, transfer case, and diffs?

I second that. Lets see some pictures so we can all mock you a little bit.

Looks like it was a great trip, thanks for posting all those pictures. I am hoping to get my m38a1 out on a little road trip this fall, maybe through the UP or out to some sand dunes. Watch out for the fires out there, seems like everything out west is burning right now.

From what I have seen it looks like the civi parts for the hubs will work but I just want to make sure I don't get everything torn apart just to not have the right parts on hand. I have a feeling it has been a very long time since anyone has been in this hub so it could be fun getting apart.

Thanks. I have not been able to spend too much time on the other forums because of my busy schedule. It is good to bring info like this to SS though, it seems like we are a little light on some of the M38A1 stuff. One more question, can you get all of the seals for the diffs and transfer case...

I am looking at replacing most of the fluids in my jeep before I attempt a long trip up north. My TM's all show old types of oil and lube that are not produced any more. What are most of you guys using for the engine. transmission, transfer case, and diffs. Also does anyone have a good source...

You cant win them all. You need to tow that trailer behind a proper military vehicle!

Well I have had a bit of a vacation from steelsoldiers and my new jeep while I was working on med school applications but that is wrapped up now so it is time to get the jeep to its new home. I am bringing it from my brothers garage to mine for a week before it makes the 3 hour drive to our...

Well if you need a good home for one of the remaining ten, I am accepting all donations :)

that looks nice. it would look really good in a nice OD coat of paint

Congrats, get those pictures up so we can all drool over your new purchase.

On willysmjeeps they said it was a cooling fan or something. I was going through withdrawal the whole time it was down. I need my steelsoldiers fix.

Welcome to the site. You should get a gamma goat, they have a detroit diesel and I can just about guarantee that none of your trucks are quite like a goat.

I liked how much the last thread like this went into chemistry of combustion. It gave me a chance to finally put my ed-u-ma-ca-tion to work :) On a serious note, just park in the back of the lot, not only will it increase your health and give you a couple more years of life but it will make...

Thank you, luckily my fiance likes the new jeep and is excited for the radiator to be fixed so she can try her hand at driving it. I will defiantly be keeping my eyes open from now on trying to acquire cheap parts and piece my little jeep back together until it is original again.

Sure thing. I should have it back first thing next week.

That is my plan. When I have both the money and time it will get a frame off resto but until then it will be my woods and sunny day jeep.
