    5 Ton Issue

    Good thought! Will check with the boss and see if this is do-able $$$ wise...I know that the fuel filters were replaced to try and solve the issue, but it didn't help

    5 Ton Issue

    I will get the answers to these questions today for you guys! I'm unsure of the model, however I know it is a 1977. I will get that information. I am new to this work location, and from what I am told it just developed this issue all of a sudden

    5 Ton Issue

    Gentlemen, Our 5-ton at work has this issue... Apparently it runs and drives perfectly, but when you leave the truck to idle, it stalls out. I know that this is cryptic....but any ideas on where I should begin looking this week? I searched the forum, but couldn't find anybody with the same...

    My New toy

    It all came together today! Myself and 2 friends spent the afternoon/evening wrenching on the M-37 and got it complete! Removed old exhaust manifold, removed old manifold studs and mounting hardware. Installed new set of studs from VPW, using high-temp permatex thread sealant. New valve...

    built up 251 finally in m37!!!

    I always said if I changed my engine I'd do a 251 instead...then I acquired a 230 for a deal I couldn't resist. Looks good! Keep the picture coming and enjoy!

    Part ID Question

    I guess I should have asked "what is this called," instead of the way I phrased it...but you did a much better job than I would have of describing what it DOES! I was able to remove my mangled part today with moderate heat and a pair of vice grips...called Midwest Military and did my best job...

    Part ID Question

    Could somebody on here please tell me what this part is? The parts book I have calls it "Nipple" Part # CC-1274903 The one in my "new" manifold is slightly tweaked (bent) I think it'll still work...but if I can get it out now is the time. I have a spare intake with this part on it, but I...

    My New toy

    Forgot to include these earlier, will do so now. This is what my carb set-up originally looked like...remember this when it's all nice and clean! 8-)

    My New toy

    Today my girlfriend's brother helped me out by sandblasting some parts; I had him do the air cleaner support brackets and the intake manifold...they ended up beautiful. We can actually see the tooling marks from the factory. After painting we used a diamond hone to very gently love the gasket...

    My New toy

    Picked up the carburetor from the re-build shop today. Came out looking brand new! Still awaiting my package from VPW with the manifold studs so that I can complete the project.

    My New toy

    Yeah I just tried it out, it moves...although I can't say that I've ever changed it from summer to winter the whole time I've had the truck!

    My New toy

    Exhaust manifold is all dry and ready to be installed...it's almost too pretty to touch! Got a new set of mounting studs and hardware coming from VPW as of this morning, and dropped off my carburetor at the carb shop for a complete overhaul

    My New toy

    My exhaust manifold is horribly cracked, and I was lucky enough to come across a take-off one for a 230. Today I gave it a few coats of Chrysler silver with manifold paint. When my carb comes off (hoping this Sunday/Monday) I will be replacing the manifold along with the gasket. while it's out...

    My New toy

    I got the M-37 out of storage yesterday, ran very well but still having the issue with the carb jets. Today I got rid of the oil leakage problem. My oil pump/engine block gasket was destroyed and leaking oil pretty substantially I couldn't find the correct gasket number, so instead I got a...

    My New toy

    Well, picked up my PTO today. The piece that was broken turned out to be cast so it was a pain, but it got done! Very nicely I might add...seeing as it's just a pivot point for the PTO shift lever, it must have been droped/broken when it was being removed from the truck I can assume...
