When we do the convoys they put us in march units based on the size of the vehicle. The 2.5 ton and up unit got the Nic name of the moose. When I went on my first convoy in 2019, my march unit leader, Lamar Rowland, walked up to me and gave the moose head. I said how do guys mount these . He...

Nice find! I love mine. I converted it to a “motor home” I removed all the expansible stuff and sealed the walls. I didn’t want to have something my wife and I couldn’t set up. I bought a donor camper for all the appliances, water system and electrical panel. I’ve had it on two MVPA convoys so...

I’m sorry if I confused the issue. My modification will work on an all 24 volt vehicle. If the vehicle has dual voltages, 12 and 24, then simply measure the out put voltage at the break light switch. If it’s 12 v install the controller like it’s an F150. These dual voltage vehicles confuse me...

Do you think freezing the seal might make it seat easier?

Are you triggering the controller with 24 volts? If I knew you could this it would have made my install a bit easier…

That will make it even easier. Are the lights 24v ?

In Michigan we don’t need a CDL as long as the vehicle is for private use. RV’s are exempt in most states. My 934 is now a motor home so I’m all set. I carry a copy of the law that explains this with me in the cab so if I get stopped, I can at least show why I don’t need a CDL. What if you toss...

Here’s what I did. First you need a 12 volt source. It’s best to use a 24 to 12 DC to DC converter. I connect the coil of a 24 volt relay to the existing break light switch and ground to the other coil connection. When I hit the break, the relay pulls. I connected 12 volts to a “make” contact on...

Not that I remember. I did this a long time ago and I suffer CRS. The seal was on the transfer case but the process should work to install a sleeve on any yoke. Someone else will have answer your question about a tool to install the seal. If it presses in place, I probably made a tool out of a...

If you plan to keep this truck for a while, replacing the harness will be time and money well spent. You probably know by now that all the wires have an aluminum tag on them. I saw them in your third picture. All M series vehicles use the same numbering plan for the lights and turn signals etc...

Sometimes the seal will wear a groove in the yoke. When I replaced the seal on my M37 it needed the speedy sleeve. I got some good advise from Vintage P W. Put the yoke in the freezer for a day, warm up the speedy sleeve. The sleeve will slide right on. Once they become the same temperature they...

A race track… Something every guy should have! 😎

Welcome from Sunny Michigan.😜 If you have been hanging around here, you already know that you found the best site ever for this hobby. It sounds like we need to recruit your dad… check in often and enjoy your stay. PS how about some pictures?

Welcome from Michigan. Glad to see you joined up.

I assume these issues would apply to my M934. As soon as I am able, I have some crawling around to do…

I wish I lived close to you Simp. I would hand you tools and sweep the shop floor just so I could watch how and what you do. I’m amazed at how much you know and how much you can do solo with these trucks. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with all of us!

No matter which batteries you use, they will last alot longer if you install a 24 volt battery tender. I have two flooded batteries in my M37 that sat a lot more than got used. They lasted 10 years. I attribute that to the battery tender. All my MVs have one installed. A good tender is a lot...

Thank you! My trucks CARC is faded as well. When I tried to get a paint mixed at HD, it came out too dark. I compared it to some new vehicles in 2019 while on the convoy. We stopped at a National Guard base in Wyoming where they had some new sand colored vehicles. The color in your picture looks...

Your truck is looking great. Could you post a picture of the paint code label on the lid of the can? I have had some trouble getting a close color match when I use the standard paint number. Thanks…

I wouldn’t flat tow an M37. It’s just too hard on the drive line. I have two trailers for this. One is a covered trailer one is a flat bed. I installed a class five hitch on my M934. I set the height of the drop hitch ball to match my pickup. I also installed an electronic break controller and...
