    Post your m37 pictures

    Yes they all have the hole for the winch shaft , the winch could be added to a non winch truck if needed by the military . They had winch kits , heater kits , cold weather kits , hard tops , etc , all could be added in the field .

    General Q on tranny swap

    A 2 foot 1/2" extension with a FLEX socket should get you close , I forget if I added another short extension on that , and you can drop the back of the tranny a bit . Be careful of the transmission ears ,they are not all that strong . Make sure the transmission is square to the back of the...

    M37 observations and input wanted.

    Great looking truck , looks to have all the big parts . That truck should have the later model trans , which is good . How is the electrical system , still 24 Volt ? You need to go thru the truck , axle seals , and bearings a must , brakes , only a single circuit master , very important . The...

    Unhappy Dogbone thingy

    Good catch , that could have got REAL ugly , I would check all of ends at this point . Not a bad job , just big , once you get the DB off , press out the old joint press in a new one . Some disassembly required .

    M998 vs DOT

    In my state a HMMWV , if over 25 yrs. old would be registered and titled as a HX vehicle , all states have different rules , check your state DMV website too start , when it comes to DMV and MV's all bets are off when they look at your paperwork and get the deer in the headlight look .

    M998 vs DOT

    NEVER by a vehicle WITHOUT proper ownership , it depends on your state , in my current state vehicles over 25 yrs. old are considered antique and get the cheap plate . They do require a title , again in this state anything 1973 and newer is titled , prior is just a registration. As far as having...

    Transporting recently purchased trailer

    Get a temp.tag from the local DMV that the trailer is in . Show them your paperwork and bill of sale and any insurance documents if needed and away you go , AFTER you PM the trailer . You can tow the 105 with a pick up , just need a hitch extension for the pintle height and a set of magnetic...

    General Q on tranny swap

    Ya ,I got a trans jack from Harbor Freight , works great , I would recommend a good jack due to the off balance trans/tranfer case , or split the unit on the truck as Rich said . Just a word of caution , MAKE SURE you get the converter all the way on the splines on the front pump !!!! if it...

    General Q on tranny swap

    What vehicle are we talking about ? if it's a CUCV , don't think they have a removable floor plate . Anything else , mostly . If it is a CUCV (400 trans) from the bottom with a tranny jack , on the ground or do you have a Lift ? I have done it both ways , up in the air IS much easier ...

    Steering wheel off center

    You really need to get your MV to somebody who KNOWS what they are LOOKING at . Lotsa stuff to look at under there and it is difficult to for us on SS to offer a diagnosis without looking at the vehicle . BTW , that would be a NO GO on skipping a tooth on your steering gear box , power steering...
