I am servicing my 3 speed and transfer in the M38. What gear oil is everyone' favorite? I have used sae80-90 over the years, and have run some purple synthetic in the m38a1. advise?

My dad and I were working on his M37, it was running well, stopped like it ran out of gas. he gassed it back up, then it wouldn't start. still thinking fuel, replaced the fuel pump with a 24v pump, set the bowl height, and generally played around with fuel delivery. Put new points and...

I am going to roll my M715 for a part of a leg of the cross country convoy in September. I am picking up the group in Charlotte and rolling with them to GA. Making a truck ready for long day road miles has been an interesting exercise. You look at things differently. I replaced the single...

Gene Imes, (my dad) sent his M715 down from Wisconsin for me to take care of . He has been using it as a farm truck, feeding animals etc. He recently painted it and decommissioned it, added bows and seats etc. Questions for the group. what should I absolutely do before I run it much...

This one has me stumped for the moment. Engine runs rough at idle, chugging, very un-even. Smoke out the exhaust that smells like unburned gas. It was running fine, has been for years. I made a 10 mile back and forth run to the gas station, by the time I got back, I had the above...
