    M101A1 generator trailer ?

    What you probably found it an M-116-series trailer. The M-116 series and variants were the 3/4-chassis used under the M-101 with cargo box, used under the generator trailer, and the Pioneer tool trailer. The early generator trailers often had a version of the Dodge M37 fuel tanks underneath to...

    4bt nv4500 axle swap ect

    Get a CUCV chassis & drop the M37 sheetmetal on top... it'll be a quicker project. 'Tanner'

    Water injection in the 6.2?

    So - the best way to benefit both the plane & the populous is to add a water/bug killer mix to the injection tank... boosts plane's performance & fogs for mosquitoes at the same time! 'Tanner' - the always thinking 'idea man'...

    1951 Chev Suburban Preservation

    Nice find! It's easy to understand how 'burbs evolved into family vehicles these past 15-20 years. People had a want/need for a 'large family station wagon' that the Detroit car manufacturers ceased building ~ 1996 (Buick Roadmaster/Chevy Impala wagon/etc). The Suburban fit their requirements...

    How to price Cucv parts?

    The OD paint on the CUCV frame EASILY makes it worth more than a civvy frame... :) - it's all in how you market it! 'Tanner'

    New Owner of M37 New York

    First - get your truck or some photos of the M37 drivetrain mounted in the chassis - this will allow you to see the short driveshaft that connects the 2wd transmission output to the NP200 t-case input. You need to understand the concept of a 'divorced' transfer case, as used on the M37. If you...

    But clenching ride home

    - the worst part of the deal is having to pull the 2 feet of seat upholstery out of your tush from the incident itself, after realizing what occurred.... :shock: 'Tanner'

    New Owner of M37 New York

    Correct - on stock M37's from factory, the diffs are both offset to passenger side. You have short axles on passenger side front/rear & long axles on driver side front/rear... and I just looked at the picture you posted of the rear of your truck - your diff is NOT centered; it's most definitely...

    New Owner of M37 New York

    I'm well-aware of Paul / Moose Creek Maple; have conversed with him numerous times in past years via email - I'll leave this part right here - Photo 32 of 201, M-37 ' Bandit ' ... where Paul mentions that he used/made a 'centered Dodge M37 rear axle housing' - point here is that it doesn't...

    Stock NP200 is a divorced unit, and can work with a 2wd NV4500, as long as there is enough space available for the short drive shaft... Does that 205 have the ability to run the front and rear driveshaft off of that right side drop?? 'Tanner'

    If political discussion is not allowed, why are political ads accepted?

    The things that bring people together here are greater than the differences that separate us. Each is entitled to his/her opinion, but there are certain forums that are more appropriate in which to share them. Face it; with all the crap going on in the country/world these days, escaping to SS in...

    3053 light truck application.

    ...just get a metal data plate that shows the shift pattern. Suppliers probably have them available. http://wowapi.net/images/Pic_M35A2shiftpattern.jpg...

    islandguydon - hope decision goes in your favor, Sir! IN THE EVENT THAT IT DOESN'T GO YOUR WAY... then I'd recommend that you get over to the bookstore or hit up Amazon & get yourself a copy of 'The Secret', by Rhonda Byrne. You could find it useful in the event (unlikely) that you have to...

    Ummm..... okay. NV4500 - decent trans, but not cheap. Has some well-known weaknesses, runs synthetic (pricey) transmission fluid, installs easily enough behind the SB Chevy engine. Where does the NP205 come into the equation? Look underneath your truck... notice how Dodge built the truck...

    Water injection in the 6.2?

    And a quick review of Snow goes to show that they market Water/meth injection kits for .... TAA-DAAAAHHH!!!! Turbo-diesel engines. Not naturally-aspirated diesels... :deadhorse: My basic point is thus: if you DON'T understand the operating principles of a N/A diesel, then please - to...

    Water injection in the 6.2?

    For the record: Water/alcohol injection can show marginal/minimal gains on gasoline engines, and some benefits on turbo/supercharged diesels. BUT - the benefit to naturally-aspirated diesels in negligible. It's basic physics, folks - in the limited combustion chamber space of a N/A diesel, you...

    ...if you closed the post, then I couldn't add inane babble about - "... due to the searchbots/cookies/parsing/etc, you should NEVER type in 'cross-dressing elderly midget mud-wrestling." Boy, did I EVER LEARN a LESSON about that... 'Tanner'

    Water injection in the 6.2?

    Actually, many on SS are old enough to recall the days before push-button phones, bank drive-up teller windows & ATM's, when Coke was made with sugar, and when TV dinners originated. Plus a bunch of other old stuff. Can you add water injection to a 6.2? Sure! You can add it to your push-mower...

    Water injection in the 6.2?

    Where's that Doghead button again? First, you need to verify the glowplug gap... this is usually where people go wrong on diesels. Next, a good HP adder is a set of chrome valve covers, along with a vented muffler. You can also gain a 3% increase in fuel economy in colder climtes by changing...
