dont know if you have done the check from the TM yet but it is below. you can download the manual from jatonka's website 37. ROUGH SHIFTING Step 1. Check manual selector for proper operation. If defective, replace manual selector (para. 4-73). Step 2. Check shift cable for binding and proper...

man that sounds like the hoses are inverted. I know you checked it but are you sure the motor pool didnt screw up the plumbing at the shop at some point.

i live in Dyersburg just north of Memphis.... if you have trouble closer on this side let me know

sure doesnt look too beat up.... they must have a decent maintenance program

your best bet is to go with a Multifuel 5 ton motor. which i believe is the LDS but i may be wrong. PM Gimpyrob, he did the transition on his. I think the major difference is the starter is on the other side.

welcome to the site would like to see pics of what your working with. I've never had a M37 so i cant help much .... sorry

:funny: well its morning and i had a good nights sleep, but am watching the markets and my day is heading south fast but congrats on the new truck but its going to be a LONG trip home at 50 mph. Im kind of fond of the Allison Automatic. Yes the grill is ugly I hope you can figure out someway to...

great job, is the child labor necessary or can i sub it out?:grd:

:ditto:..... i agree with the above post, parts will nickle and dime you to death. just the replacement cost of a new door and transfer case will pay for a GL parts special M1009

yeah i knew it was getting close..... that just sucks.

the military used them on the Marine Corps Hummers at the mountain Warfare Training Center in California. They took the snow real well.

just use the front battery i do it all the time doesnt hurt anything. Check it with your multimeter if your concerned.

nice recovery, I've liked every m1009 Ive ever owned. The starter relay is a must with a manual Glow-plug button a close second. Great trucks, probably the most useful, reliable, daily-driverable military vehicle IMHO

yeah i had a very similar problem, It was a loose bendix in my starter. The bendix was knocking against the flywheel intermittently at lower rpms. The knocking didnt vary with the rpm they were pretty constant. When mine started to drag it failed after a few more weeks. Replace your starter, I...

cool set-up and glad the recovery went well.... I like those shorter flatbeds... you can pile lots of GL collectables on them and are big enough to be useful at the house. Glad to hear it all went well.

Here are some pics of the wife driving the m-931 and the kids and me playing around in the M818. Its so hot we couldnt stay out too long but it was fun.

well the glow plug issue is easy. Switch to a manual push button system. There are numerous write-ups here of how to do it. When you jump the relay what is the truck doing. Does the key cycle normally. Are you having any issues shifting because it sounds like the switch on top of the steering...

oh and i use my m1009 as a tow vehicle allot on recoveries using a medium towbar which weighs a ton. Ive found the easiest way to hook up is to use a ratchet strap and just drive the thing on. Or back it on whichever you need to...

oh crap they are at 90 already, no i havent i guess i need to

I dont mind going slower unless its a LONG trip. I usually drive 60 or so even in my personal vehicle. With a turbo and Super singles I dont think there will be a big difference in the trucks
