    Line-X or Rhino Bedliner On Underside of A3 Hood?

    I have used the Amsoil MP, it is a heavy duty metal protector, in spray cans, I've used it on both bare and painted metal to protect it from corrosion here in Michigan where the salt / humidity eats up everything. It soaks in and crawls into the metal joints. It stays a little tacky and...

    battery maintainers

    I wouldn't start the truck unless your going to drive it and get it totally warmed up and the engine hot enough and long enough to get the condensation out of it, put the maintainer on the batteries and let it sit. It will be better off this way than the other. I put my trucks away for the...

    M37 Difficult starting after sitting a week.

    Oldfart you are correct ! ! ! I had assumed that his fuel system was / is in good condition and could take the fuel pressure that the electric fuel pump would build up. The standard fuel filter had been removed from my truck before I purchased it. Thanks again for bringing this safety item...

    M37 Difficult starting after sitting a week.

    I had the same problem, I corrected the problem by installing an electric (24vdc) fuel pump next to the fuel tank. It is turned on by a switch on the dash to build up fuel pressure then turned off. I also installed a fuel filter at the same time next to the electric pump, to remove any dirt and...

    my 51 M37

    Seabee Mike I think that Nattieleather is correct,,,,, get it cleaned up, running, it'll be worth more. Pressurize the oil system with fresh oil before turning the engine over, you know the rest. It looks good, looks like it would be an easy resto. don't just look at it, use it, if you break...

    Wired up the 101A3

    Just got my order for 4 of them from BroncoBuddy, arrived in very good shape, they work on both 12 and 24vdc. We'll see how long they last, I'm putting two on my M-37 and two on my M-101, I like them because they are a little bigger and should be more visable/brighter. I think they come of from...

    24v inline fuel pump

    cjtrout, yes I agree with you on hooking up the tanks that way, however the reason I run the extra fuel tank hooked up my way is to get / keep the fuel lines higher so that the mud / deep snow etc can't pull them loose. I can run the line from the reserve tank using the 24vdc pump controlled by...

    Can 12 and 24 V share same ground?

    YES,,,,it will work, I have replaced the 25amp 24vdc GENERATOR with a 100amp 24 vdc single wire alternator and added a 65amp 12 vdc single wire alternator for the 12 volt system. Both share the same ground as they are both mounted to the engine block on their respective mounts with the ground...

    Don't forget the tire jack / tube repair kit. Yes,,,,, it is very hard to repair an air leak with the type of rims we have on the 37's,, however one can never know what you will need on a trip. Looks like there is a good list allready. Do you have a winch? OR, a method of getting your 37...
