    6.2 Diesel in a M-37?

    I installed a 6.2 with the 700R4 OD trans/married Tcase,4.89s,,,, preforms great ! I used the crossmember out of the doner truck and bolted it inbetween the M37 frame with minimal mods, the trans crossmember needs just 4 holes. Had to grind about 1/4 in off top of frame rail on one side and...

    Humber pig questions

    I was doing a search on the net, I think Utube, and there was a video of someone removing the rear armor. I have a pig and planning on installing it on a Dodge/Cummins chassis with GMC 2.5 axles for the listed reasons. My belief is that the armored portion of the vehicle is the best you can...

    BTR-40 questions

    Wonder how bad it is when they say "but it never made it to the big screen. It did not pass the speed test". With that power to weight ratio, can it even keep up with traffic? Can it exceed 40 mph on flat ground?

    Axle Swap!!

    And the M135 has torque rods that position the axle, the M35 uses the leaf springs. What is wrong with the stock axles? Only the ratio ?

    Humber Pig APC

    The pig is a interesting, affordable, fairly comfortable armored vehicle. I look at it as an antique collector vehicle that will be good to have around if to much hope and change happens. Sould the SHTF I think the windshields are too large, where will you get one when once it gets shot at and...

    Humber Pig APC

    Humber vs Peace keeper Some of my thoughts on the subject and why I went with the Humber. 1. although it was said the Peace Keeper (PK) windshield is 3 in thick and as good as the armor, it has to be replaced each time it is shot at and hit. the pig has heavy hydraulic drop down armor with a...

    Humber Pig APC

    The peacekeeper is very desireable (=expensive). I compared it to the Humber before I bought one. The Dodge has 1/4 " single armor, the Humber has 3/8" and two layers on the sides, the windshield area is almost 1" thick. and it goes on from there...... But if you find a peacekeeper for...

    Does anyone know axle capacities?

    I am using the axles with a 89 cummins dodge and 3 speed auto. I am more concerned with the weight carrying capacity then the torque capacity. The monster truck builders swear by these as much stronger then the toploader Rockwells and they used the modified, sometimes even supercharged big...

    BTR-40 questions

    I was thinking about that truck, he had it for sale for years. Have you taken it for a ride on the road? I have M37's and was a little concerned about the power to weight ratio. Nice looking truck for sure !!
