    Ye ole transfer case woes FIXED !

    Hello all, I did my 840 mile trip fully loaded with a radio shelter & full M101 in tow last month and I can say I had no issues at all, the transfer never leaked or got hot. I kept the truck around 3300 rpms the whole time so the synthetic oil did the trick ! I can proudly park my M37 in...

    I need some help getting my M37 on the road. Trans, brakes, steering

    I agree with the 65 MPH max, I have driven mine @ 70 + and the wind noise from the flat windshield is horrible @ 60 - 65 much more pleasant, I do have V8, modern tires, disc brakes, power steering and all that jazz but after I built the truck and tried to drive it like a new Ram I had to face...
