    M37 wheel options

    FWIW - you can run the Michelin XZL or XL 1100x16's on your stock M-37 rims, using the proper radial tubes & flaps... yes, I know that these tires are getting a bit harder to find, but they are available, and fit the stock M-37 Budd rim well - the XZL's are on my truck in my avatar photo.

    Tan paint question

    Quote: "The paint on my soon-to-arrive M1008 is pretty nasty. It looks like it was painted with a cat on a stick." This has to be the best comment I've read all day... can I borrow this? :D 'Tanner'

    Tubes for 11.00-16 or 9.00-16 tires

    ... gotta make certain that you get correct stem though. And radial tubes, not bias-ply tubes. 'Tanner'

    Impact on availability of HMMVV's?

    Deuce RPM Questions

    Everyone knows that the connecting rods have NOTHING to do with the increased speed - some of the trucks have longer pushrods and slicker oil in their engines... :p 'Tanner'

    looking for a hmmwv or h1

    Don't count on prices going down anytime in the near future. The limited supply of available vehicles in the public domain will tend to keep prices high & you'll have to 'pay to play'... then you get the fun of some of the engine parts being unique to the HMMWV and you can't get then from local...

    Tubes for 11.00-16 or 9.00-16 tires

    Hey M37_power/Barrman... Cabell - Looked at my old invoice on file from when I ordered the last tubes & flaps for us from Rusty... Bought 12 tubes from International Tube & Tire on 08/2007 - got the TR75A bent stem tubes - it took about a month & a half to get them. Running these on my M37's...

    Please put descriptive titles on your threads

    Gee, Clinto! I'd like to thank the Academy, and my parents for having me... I can only address my humor here after losing my star status on Jalopnik & getting banned on Classmates.com... 'Tanner'

    Good Brakes... Thanks GOD!!!!

    Glad to hear that no one was hurt! But the coleslaw gave it's life to the cause, throwin' itself in front of you to, sacrificing itself for a brother! At least you didn't go 'Code Brown' on the situation - :wink: People aren't paying attention their driving, but they are attentive enough to...

    I typically read the vague ones & offer vague advice in return... :p Hey - if the various branches of the military can have a boot-camp for newbies, then why can't SS have one as well? New Recruit Training: Day One: Reading SS Forum Guidelines On WHAT IS PROPER TO POST Day Two: Where Do You...

    Synthetic oil

    The old adage about 'not using Synthetic oils in new engines before breaking them in' got thrown out years ago. For years now, MANY new performance cars coming off the assembly lines have used synthetic oil in their crankcases from the first turn of the key when they roll off the assembly lines...

    M715 with 4bt cummins

    Some folks have looked into the Isuzu 4BD1/4BD2 4-cylinder diesel engine as swap meat, but there aren't a lot of offerings available on transmissions, outside of the GM 3L80/4L80E/ (possibly TH350/400)... the bellhousing pattern is a bit of a problem if you try a manual trans application - there...

    Possible to get a military hummer for 10 grand?

    Okay - so here it goes again... NO ONE at DMV will buy the story of 'it's a kitcar' - the DMV Enforcement guys have to physically see what you have built before filling out/signing off on the forms required for titling the vehicle & will be more than happy to 'smoke it over'. In the case of a...

    New M37 Owners!

    Congrats on the 'new' M37 & welcome to Steel Soldiers! Looks like ID plate may have been replaced at some point & left unstamped - look for chassis numbers about 3/4" high on left frame rail in front of steering box; numbers will be on 'vertical' face of chassis rail, and will stretch out about...

    M1009 Approach/Advice?

    My parts truck purchase for use on my M37-to-6.2 diesel swap was a civilian 1989 GMC Sierra 2500 single cab long-bed with a J-code 6.2 motor that ran quite well; trans was getting a bit weak, but I was ditching that anyway. Truck would run 70+ easily, but body was a touch rusty around fenders...
