Thanks guys.....the links give me something to study/learn about. Since I don't actually own a deuce yet I'm trying to gather as much info as possible before taking the plunge.

My search for an M37 isn't going all that well and I'm seriously considering an M211 as an alternative. Heck, for the same money I can get a vehicle with a 2 1/2 ton rating that looks impressive as all get out. Now, everyone seems to have one of the "newer" M35's with the multi fuel engines but...

I envy you.......unfortunately the grandkids are here and my wife won't leave.............:(

I like that. Think I'll use it too!

That's an interesting idea. How do you push the oil.........air pressure on top? I'd really like to know as a standard barbecue cylinder is much larger than my little self contained hand pump made from a grease gun.

Thanks again NAM VET. The oil pressure gauge fitting was a good choice and I'll probably do the same, although I have a lever operated hand pump that might force the oil a little better. I've also saved Best Gaskets to my favorites.

I've already mentioned that I hope to buy an M37 here locally. Since it's been sitting for years, my first actions would be to pull the oil pan and head in order to get a better idea of the engine's condition. If there's no obvious damage, is there a way to force oil through the engine before...

NAM VET, You are absolutely, 100% correct. Since my original posting I've had time to really think this whole thing through. Unless the engine is totally shot (read: rusted in half) it should stay in the vehicle. I haven't even seen this particular M37 up close yet, so immediately planning an...

Thanks everyone......kinda feels like family! If my deal on an M37 fails, how do I explain to the wife about a deuce and a half sitting in the driveway? :)

Roller, I'm curious........did you change the axle ratios on that 360 installation? You'd have more power obviously, but with the stock ratios your speed couldn't have increase that much...could it? What about MPGs....up, down, sideways? :)

Roller.......THANK YOU! I didn't notice the TM's before and will check them out, but the link you provided was exactly what I was looking for. I was actually under the impression that the transfer case was on the side of the transmission, not a separate unit. Pretty obvious that I need to learn...

Thank you...........all comments are being filed away in my head, and I'll look at that website you mentioned. I was aware of the transfer case cooling issue, but read about an add on oil sump (tank) to reduce the temperatures somewhat. In any case, the warning about it is good info. My...

Hmmmm....oops. Well, good thing I asked! I was hoping the Ford would work as I really like the torque (I've owned a couple). I read suggestions that a Chevy 235 or 250 might work also, too long/high?

Hello everyone! Yeah, I know.......the subject's been beat to death, but I have a chance at an M37 that has been in a local backyard for at least 20 years that I know of. It looks to be in good shape from about 100' away, but that's all I know at this point. I want the vehicle and will attempt...

Good afternoon everyone! I have a chance at obtaining an M37 here locally, so I began searching for information. This website seemed to be the most informative and comprehensive, so joining was mandatory! I look forward to discussing and asking questions about various military vehicles in the...
