    bobbing a deuce then towing

    I really like the rear bumper and tail light set up! That steel looks strong enough for a class 5 receiver. With that you would have three hitch options. I’m guessing you are building a work truck.

    HMMWV with lift kit - remove or skip it?

    In Michigan a HMMWV with a street title is worth a lot. As Far as the lift kit goes, anything that was bolted on can be removed. That truck has plenty of ground clearance without a lift. What were they thinking? 😃 Someone here with more knowledge may be able to tell you if stock parts were...

    govplanet

    Keep in mind that governor Wittless vetoed the bill to allow HMMWV’s to be registered and tagged. Her “reason” for this was that is what the last governor did. This was after the House, Senate and Secretary of State all passed it. She is tone deaf to the people’s voices. So if you buy this...

    M931A1 Recovery Shreveport, LA to Hannibal, MO on 2021-03-26

    Is this your first MV? If you are new here, welcome from Michigan... Bring extra motor oil, tools, someone in a chase vehicle and hearing protection. Don’t try to go fast. Enjoy the ride. My M934 likes 50 mph. I can push it faster but it just seems to purr at 50.

    Battery charger install question

    So this two bank charger is the right one for your application. The CUCV is different than the rest of our M series trucks. I installed a 24 volt battery tender in my 934. It was easy To mount in the cab because that’s where the batteries are. When I park my truck for more than a few days, I...

    Slave Receptacle

    Thanks for the tip! I use alcohol and a small parts brush to clean off the green corrosion. Normally I use generous amounts of WD40 to prevent it coming back, like on battery terminals. I will be cleaning the NATO receptacle on my 934 and giving it coat of RTV. I prefer the original two pin...

    Slave Receptacle

    This is a bad place to save money. Either replace the slave or remove it and plug the hole. Shorting the batteries creates a bomb! Someone is going to get hurt...

    Major rust repair help/ideas.

    I have never been able to weld sheet metal with my stick welder. I’m am not a professional welder by any means. So I bought a MIG welder and use it with argon gas. What a game change! Better control, less warping, and no slag to deal with. Can you borrow a MIG from someone to try it out? Perhaps...

    That’s going to be a fine looking truck when it gets a bath! Thanks for sticking with it and bringing it back to life. The world will never have too many M37’s. (y)

    M37 Hesitation

    In my mind it sounds like it is running way too lean. There are some problems running for extended times with the choke pulled out too far. If you run too rich you will foul the spark plugs. Another possible problem is unburnt fuel “washing” the oil off of the cylinder walls. I did this to a...

    M37 Hesitation

    When we restored our M151a2 I sent the carb to Brooks Engine Service. He makes modifications to the carb that makes the 151 purr. Most 151’s run best with the choke pulled out about a quarter inch. Our MUTT was no exception. After Brooks got done with it pulling the choke is no longer needed...

    M37 Hesitation

    I have given up on cas with ethanal. I found a station near me that sells “marine fuel”. It may also go by the name of RV fuel. It doesn’t have ethanol in it. My M37 even smells better using this fuel! It costs about 3.00 a gallon, but it’s worth it. This stuff even stores longer. That being...
