Good report. As to the master cylinder, can you remove the plunger rod to remove the rust which is likely making it stick?

Coming along nicely. Looking forward to seeing it at Findlay.

How loud and hot does that run?

Patrick at Portrayal Press may be able to help you with the TM.

I'm no electrician, but my experience is that a short will cause the circuit to open immediately (blown fuse or open circuit breaker). An overload tends to take longer depending on the amount of the overload. But as Mr. Curtis indicates above, an intermittent problem could send you down a...

What are your plans for the truck? If you just want to drive it as is, it looks like you're good to go with the minor fixes described above. Otherwise, you've bought in to a lot of work to get the truck back to a semblance of originality. In the haze of infatuation and apparent cheap price...

(lsigh) For what it's worth, I'm fairly new to this forum. My experience, for some reason, has been very different from yours. As to "an old boys club," my observation is that one can't reasonably aspire to become part of "an old boys club" if you're combative, confrontational, accusatory...

As Guyfang said, it kinda depends on what you want to do with your truck. My experience is with wreckers--M816 and M936--which weighed roughly the same. My opinion is that the 939 series is superior to the 809 series. Both are purpose-built for the job, and you will have fun with either. I...

One possibility is your local auto salvage yard. They may have old W200 parts that may match up.

Wow. The foregoing comments point up how organizations and clubs can be damaged and even fall apart. How would they look to a new visitor browsing the forum who may simply be interested in becoming part of a group of people with a common interest in military vehicles? Would your comment...

As for me, the solution is to dismount the wheel(s) and take to the tire shop. They do the hard work of changing out the tire, split rim or not. Then I can mount properly and at the correct torque.

Don't know what truck you have, but many big trucks have an equalizer line that transfers fuel between tanks to keep them at roughly equal volume. The manual should clarify.

Great info here, especially regards DOT 5. As referenced above, the DOT 3 and 4 brake fluids are hygroscopic, i.e. they absorb moisture from the atmosphere. So, over time, water may intrude the brake system simply by removing the master cylinder cap to check the level. Or slightly worn boots or...

Nice account of your professional installation. Thank you. Where did you get the metal exhaust line? Or was it part of the kit?

Thanks to all for your kind remarks. As to Mr. Torisco's question: " A question...does this plug install on the front of the block next to the timing cover (to the right) when looking at it form the front of the engine?" The answer is yes. Before you get in too deep (assuming that you...

Well, here's kind of a nasty problem on a newly-rebuilt engine. The account below points up a number of issues--among them the crimes of assumptions and impersonations. After installing the engine and all of the related plumbing (this is an original equipment restoration), I thought it'd be a...

I'm looking for lM37 power plant gas heater plumbing parts: aquastat, fittings on the block attached to the fuel pump, etc. Also, arctic cab retangular window frame.

Good photos, and the more, the better. I'm in the process of building up my cab after a total teardown. I don't believe there is a stock routing diagram available, either for the vacuum system or the wiring behind the dash. These additional photos go a long way toward creating one. It seems...

The blower doesn't look like anything I've seen mounted on an M37. But that opinion is worth just what you paid for it. :unsure: Could it be part of a larger assembly for the stock hot water heater? Otherwise, it's anyone's guess.

Cool variant. Looks like you're having the fun that you ought to have. I've used Midwest Military although John Bizal does not tolerate "dumb questions" very well. :censored:
