Yea I found & went over to G741 sight and lots of good people there to. I posted I was looking for a battery...

    What did you do to your M37 today?

    Oil and filter. When I got it the boy said to use Rotella 15/ 40 and I think that is to heavy and really not the right oil. I decided to go with Amsoil synthetic Z rod 10W30 that has high zinc. Yea it cost more but with 10K into this truck as me if I worry about it. Having fun driving it around...

    Need towing help or a tow bar

    Do what you will but you do not tie off the wheel on a flat tow. I have recovered 20 trucks bigger than a Deuce and never tie off the wheel. Just think about it for a while you will see the steering wheel needs to turn when the tires do. How many other post said they do not tie off the steering...

    M35 Drivers seat

    I do not drive my Deuce very far. One thing the box seat might be bad for is you storing anything like heavy tools or any thing that will kill you. I do not carry anything in the cab that could hurt me if I some how flip the truck. The loose stuff in the cab can hurt / kill you.

    Distributor oil port.

    No worries I am just going through the learning curve of another model truck. I knew it need oil and I never saw a post about it so far. I am up to page 60 on the M37 forums and reading as much as I can. I like the new shop manual better than the TM's but they have there worth to. When I got...

    Need towing help or a tow bar

    Before locking steering and we lift towed from the rear then we tie the steering wheel. Keep your tow bar short and as for the chains. Make a hard right turn and tighten one chain. Make a hard left turn and tighten the other chain till pretty tight but never bind up. You do not tie the...

    M920 wheel and tire help

    Mk48 wheels fit the drums on those bigger drums. I did not like cutting into the drum to make other wheels fit. I did it but switched the drums out when I got the correct wheels.

    Rear Brake Issues

    As Wess said if they do not self adjust then good cleaning. All parts including the Actuator ( adjusting bolt sleeve ) and the guide pawl assembly. I never look into buying parts but I bet if you were care full getting the seal for adjustment plunger off you could reuse it.

    What did you do to your M37 today?

    Installed new mechanical fuel pump. Installed new left front wheel cylinder and brakes. Put on drum and wheel adjusted brakes. Out of all that the hardest was the dang cab to hood welting. Had to use an sharp point to make sure I was right on top of the holes in the cab to hammer in the nail...

    Not starting because no fuel?

    Did you look at the first two pictures on the thread removing the Head from a G pump. You will see at the base of the head and IP housing a bolt looking thing on his and no FDC. I will just say on yours I saw a FDC and a quick look at your pump did not have that bolt head thingy. On the G pumps...

    air dryer purge troubles

    Had a truck that was doing it and thought about the complete rebuild kit. Then found members selling NOS complete air driers just about as cheap as the kit and almost faster to replace whole unit than rebuild.

    Adjusting valve on a dodge flat head

    Getting ready to do mine and I am sure Charles know more about the M37 than I ever will. I would like to see someone that did it his way and then hook up a vacuum gage. If the gage runs steady then no problem but if is bouncing just a little then as our member said 15 thousands is correct set...
