    Project time once again Swiss's CUCV

    I thought MV's had to have "50 foot" paint jobs, IE the closest the paint job looks good is 50' away. Any closer, and runs start to show up.....

    1954 M37 Engine Bay

    Only thing I see is the 12 volt conversion. Air cleaner may be sitting in the cab, for all we know. I would have to see more pics of the cab, body, tires, etc before passing judgement. I know I paid 2250 for a good running truck with bed rust issues. ****, the brake system on mine has set me...

    Project time once again Swiss's CUCV

    Why bother? All a CUCV is good for is to use as a wheel chock on a 5 ton. Don't need nice paint for that !!!:naner:

    Preamble to yet another WC brought back to life

    It runs right? Then it is wired. Troy and Tony can ride on the fenders with Maglights when it gets dark, and flash them when required to make turns. Put an old fashioned bulb horn on the WC, and there ya' go...........

    Glad hand Seals, New design or multiple styles?

    Just make sure you install them correctly. The wider flange goes INSIDE the glad hand. They are made out of a slick plastic, and the seals wear and seal better then the old rubber ones.

    Preamble to yet another WC brought back to life

    Just remember- those seats were sized for an 18-25 year old adult that was in tip top shape. Just be careful putting the IFS in the seat, as he may not get back out again without help.........

    M37 Engine will not start

    Is the M37 24 volt or 12? The 24 volt system won't work on anything but a 24 volt system. If you used a 12 volt condensor on a 24 volt system, it won't run long, if at all.

    1st MV purchase. Need advice for which truck fits my needs 5 ton or deuce

    A 5 ton is the last thing you want to tow a boat. If you thought feeding the 350 was tough- try a 5 ton. The best you will get will be 7 mpg, whether you are towing the boat, or running bobtail. The other issue is turning radius. I don't know about PA, but down here in SC, there are very very...

    Need Help with new to me M37

    Is your needle valve on the float seating correctly? It is located right where the gas line enters the carb.

    M37 Brakes

    Using a M37 in this day and age as an brush truck is foolish IMHO. While the M37's are rugged, it is getting harder and harder to find parts. Plus, you can purchase off the shelf pick up trucks that will do the same job faster and safer.

    HMMWV Overheat Q's and pictures

    I bet the the sensor/gauge is bad. Get it warm, and drop some water on the top of the radiator- if the water droplets boil, then you know that the top of the radiator is at least 212ºf. Does the engine smell hot? Pull the dip stick, and sniff the oil- over hot oil has a smell all it's own.
