    Serious Crankshaft Issue, what to do?

    My recommendation is that you locate another good running motor & swap it - you MAY have done internal damage to the engine depending on how long the imbalance situation was allowed to occur... 6.X crankshafts don't like imbalance & there may internal main bearing damage or weakening of the...

    Check for collapsed rubber fuel lines as well - any segments of old rubber lines can collapse internally & restrict flow - 'Tanner'

    Stuff to know.

    My buddy Cabell Garbee drove his '53 M-37 for a number of years as a frequent daily driver with the stock powertrain before he did his Cummins 4BT conversion & re-geared the axles. His trip was at least 15-18 miles one-way, maybe more. Look on the forum for CGarbee & ask him for info... 'Tanner'

    Is a Deuce a redneck truck?

    The Deuce isn't a Redneck truck... only the driver may be a Redneck. But it's all good regardless! 'Tanner'

    Should I buy this M37?

    Riot - If the suspension components are in good working order & the tires in good shape, wobble is not an issue. The M37 is a crude truck compared to a stripper F-150 or Chevrolet 1500 of today, but the design is 60+ years old. Stock brakes leave something to be desired, but disc brake...

    Fined for running WMO (not me)

    Forget the concept of high-speed rail... it's not affordable & cities/towns aren't laid out near the tracks. 'Tanner'

    Fined for running WMO (not me)

    It isn't a double tax on motor oil; you are taxed when it was purchased, but it wasn't sold to you for use as a motor vehicle fuel. Incorrect analogy... 'Tanner'

    Wisconsin Legislature Passes HMV Bill

    Congratulations to the Victors in the first round! Unfortunately, the ball is now in the court of the State of Wisconsin. The state gave you Wisconsinites the ability to use your trucks sparingly as a static display in your yard or in a parade status. Gather whatever data you deem necessary in...

    To Rebuild it or buy rebuilt?

    The 6.2 crank can be polished but cannot be cut - it has surface-hardened journals. 'Tanner'

    To Rebuild it or buy rebuilt?

    From my perspective: I was a Jasper rep for a number of years & know that we junked 80+% of the GM 6.2/6.5 blocks due to cracks. I recommend the Jasper remans to this day over rebuilding, for a few simple reasons... - They magnaflux the block & heads to see if they are able to be...
