This picture was taken at the beginning of a firefight during Tet, 1968 in front of the 377th Air Police Squadron's mess hall at Tan Son Nhut Air Base. It was not a good day. Sometimes it's easy to forget that these old trucks are very much indeed old soldiers

Given that it's the dead of winter and I have a severe case of cabin fever I'd like to bring back a little bit of summer ---- if only for a few minutes. Here are a few pictures of an M37 I built over ten years ago to use on a piece of remote lake property that I purchased. Everything...

Let me know when you're leaving. I'll slap on a fording kit and follow along. :-)

RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Missing fuel compensator on Multifuel... The FGC is a mystery to me. If I'm reading the above correctly, weather premitting, you can still run a motor oil/diesel fuel blend with out the FDC AND --- the FDC MAY be detrimental when running BIO fuel. I'm told the engins runs...

I've got a little Northern Minnesota cold morning starting trick that I'll reluctantly share. I say reluctantly, because some may think this is over the top but --- "it works". I carry a propane torch...

I've considered trying to locate an under seat arctic battery box so I could get the batteries (and the warmer pads) inside and out of the wind. The only reason I haven't launched an all out search for a under seat box is because I'm not sure if I want to stay with the standard batteries once...

Don't know if this will apply to you or not because my truck has a civilian ether shot and it sounds like you've got a military conversion BUT, with my truck it just takes a "whiff" of ether to get it to start or fire. It also doesn't take very much ether to make the engine act like it's...

This is a neat looking setup! Thanks for sharing it. Just thinking out loud but is there any way that the return lines could be plumbed into the tops of a set of modified center bolts? It's a shame there isn't room to allow steel flanges to be welded to the tops of the shortened canisters...

My bright red bobbed deuce has been named "The Yankee Rose" --- "Rosie" for short. My M37, which I've had for 12 years is called "The Woogie". I named it The Woogie because it's too old and ugly to Boogie. My 1968 W200 crew cab, and old Air Force B-52 crew truck from Minont AFB, is called "The...

Lee --- Don't know if your 1 Feb 8:33 PM post was to me or tbrener --- perhaps it was to all. I don't have the resources or contacts to do machining nor the time to do the research that I feel would be needed to do justice to the project. I'm looking for solutions --- a pre-built "kit...

Devilman .... Wow! Thanks for the link to research on the oil filter project. You've done your homework Pligrim. Very impressive! I stayed up till 5:AM reading the thread --- couldn't stop! As you may or may not remember, I'm up here in the Forstbite Falls area on Northern Minnesota...

Floridianson ... What is the normal temp spread between the oil pan and the cooler? Thanks

Devilman ... Thanks for the info on a possible location for an oil temp sensor. This would certainly be a lot easier place to mount the sensor. My concern is the spread between the temp in the pan and the temp coming out of the cooler. Do you know if the cooler discharges directly to the oil...

Bjorn ... Devilman --- Thanks for the response also for the photos Bjorn. I am also concerned about cutting into and welding on a pan while it is on an engine but the loggers up here in Northeast Minnesota seem to think nothing of it. They say all the shavings come out with an oil flush. It...

Does anyone know the best "un-obstructed" place on an M35 (LDT465) oil pan to install a sending unit for a mechanical oil temperature gauge? This may sound like a silly question but I'm going to install an oil temp sending unit on my Deuce without removing the pan and I don't know if there...

RE: Re: RE: Instant horsepower I'm in the process of putting together the parts for a system to inject propane. It's my belief that doing so on a conservative basis (5% on a BTU basis max) will decrease EGTs and increase power and overall fuel economy. I also believe that running a blend of...

The wheels on my Deuce --- go to www.M35MonsterTruck.com were made 2 inches wider than stock by removing (cutting off) the outer lock ring area and welding on a 2" wider lock ring segments from bud wheels. 14X20s will give you a 20% boost over the speedo. At 2100 RPM you will be running...

I've been reading through this thread, somethings in total agreement and sometimes shaking my head and I think G744 hit the nail on the head on at least a couple of major issuess. I've been playing with and attempting to make M37s (G741s) "highway traffic" worthy for years and have finally...

Haven't checked propane prices lately but I think it's about $2.00 a gallon. There are less BTUs on a gallon of propane BUT it supposedly makes the diesel fuel burn much more efficiently. I hope to get 15% better fuel economy (maybe I'm dreaming) and more power. It remains to be seen what the...

Hello JP, Does the Oliver engine have dual inverted oil filter canisters mounted on the engine or are they detached? There has been quite a bit of head scratching as to how to mount remove filters. Perhaps oliver had the answer. Thanks.
