The wiring harness comes out both sides of the firewall. The connector part that attaches to the light control box is the best place to start. Provided you have the correct harness one side will have the distributor wire and horn wire etc, the other side will have the wire for the rear connector...

I can't believe they didn't use real Humvees, I mean after all, the rest of the movie is so factual and complete reality. :wink: Now I don't know if I want to go see Star Trek, Transformers, or that other factual one, Angels & Demons. What is Hollywood thinking? I know what you are saying...

I have 4 boxes weighing in about 75 pounds each and about 8 feet long by 1 1/2 by 1 1/2 feet square. No hurry. If you are coming through anywhere in Colorado from the Ft Worth area and have the room to haul these four boxes please get with me. Thanks. Regards, M376X6

A fellow just pulled through on his way to Fort Collins. He picked up a crewcab I had sold. I beleieve he would be interested in hauling your truck. He's driving a crewcab Freightliner. It's called Bigfish Transport, his name is Jeff. His number on the road is 254-424-8807. His trailer has a...

In the many years I owned and drove Deuces and will probably again some day I always used Farm Plates. The sweet lady I have, for over 22 years gone to and bought plates and gotten titles from, Mary, asked many years ago when I went to license my first deuce if I had a farm? The cost of regular...

The keyed switches are generally rated for use over a range of voltages. Where a 24 volt system typically uses less current to operate items than a 12 volt system I would say that a switch that is listed as 12 system compitable will work just fine for 24 volts. I've run a lot of dueces over the...

Yes, Dualmatic was part of Bestop, out of Boulder, Co as I recall. They used a two lever type actuator. The outer diameter was larger than the center holes on the wheels, anyway the ones I had were. Had to remove the hub to remove the wheel and tire. The outer housings were either aluminum or...

M37's are rated at 3/4 Ton off road and 1 Ton on road. The military used to rate the vehicles according to offroad capacity, hence the Duece is 2 1/2 Tons offroad and 5 on road. Like all ratings from the early days, they were drastically underrated in both capacity and engine power. We've all...

Always nice to see the jerks fly out of the closet with butt head comments. Long way to travel, you did it, made it a fairly safe operation with some roadside engineering. It's always amazing to see how some folks feel it is their right to comment about what you can and can't afford, what and...

Still showing 55 degrees and mostly sunny for Saturday. Is the Parade still a "GO"? Thanks Regards, M376X6

I always kept my eye open for interesting vehicles. I was browsing through the Sunday Rocky Mountain News many years ago when I cam across a Jeep Commando for sale for $1,500 in Kansas. I contacted the lady and she agreed to send pictures. Your typical Jeep. She called and asked about the price...

Do you need staging information? Jonathan It mentions a prking lot north of Coors Field, an address would be great, I can mapquest it. Thanks very much. Bryan

Right now the weather is saying 54 degrees and sunny. Perfect weather for a parade. I'll trailer the M37 6X6 down and be there Saturday morning around 9:30 AM. I'm off of my four day rotation at work Thusday morning so I'll have time to clean her up and load her up. Are we going to haul folks...

Yep, I'd jump right in the middle of a Unimog, they're incredibly cheap to purchase and the parts are a penny on the dollar. :roll: There are still plenty of M37's out there. In all kinds of condition. Get what you think will be fun and interesting for your needs. For Pete's sake, you're just...

Northern Minnesota? in winter? 30 weight ought to be like jellied wax most of the time. Bill nailed it as far as bypass filters on these trucks. Oil starvation during cold starts and having some fuel in your oil is probably the culprit behind your problem. Stick with detergent oils. A pan heater...

Weight per gallon of fuel depends on two things, temperature, and type of fuel. Gasoline is best calculated using a good average of 6.25 pounds per gallon. Diesel is averaged at 7.25 pounds per gallon. Another factor would be the terrain you plan on running the M37 over. Cross country which...

Perhaps the best recommendation would be to find someone here on SS who lives nearby that has an M37 and ask for a test drive. Look the truck over, get a good feel for how it is built and what your opinion of it is once you have been all over it. I'm sure you're catching on quickly how everyone...

How do these trucks fair with the basics? Top speed, fuel consumption, reliability, parts availability? I want something that can handle driving on the highway to work every once in a while so 50-55 mph is a must. And something that I can take to different rallies and MV events on the east coast...

The flat head six was used in lots of different vehicles through the 30's into the 60's. I have had a few 12 starters that would bolt right up and work but have since scrapped them because I never used them. None as I recall with the exact lever operated by the foot peg. It would probably be...

The thing that caught my eye is the turbo. I've never seen one like that. Anyone have any info on it? Regards, M376X6
