Your post would be a lot easier to read if it were broken up into paragraphs or bullets but I'll try to not miss any questions. In no particular order:
The doors often get dented my morons who move them with forklifts. The usual problem is that they don't have good enough depth perception and...
Welcome aboard. About the only thing I know about M37s is how to spell "M37" so you'll have to wait for someone else to chime in.
I'd recommend starting a thread titled something like "M37 engine original?" or some such to catch the eye of folks who could help.
Good luck

M809 series trucks do not have turbos. Putting one on seems to require some extensive duct work. The intake is on the driver side, the exhaust is on the passenger side and there is no room to go over the top of the engine without cutting the hood. If you use the "Search" feture above you'll...
It's a good idea to put it behind your seat when your done with the swap.
When you want to warm up the engine and especially when it is running for a long time at idle, it will come in handy. The cooling system is so over-sized for light loads and temperate climates (let alone temps as cold as...
My challenge with using the right side transmission aperture is that the truck has a winch that I want to keep.
Your picture looks like a 6 hole SAE PTO with mechanical engagement and a standard 13 spline output and would be a good choice if there was no front winch. I would really like to use...

It's cheap insurance to prevent an expensive "Aw...
The pressure on the tires is the max pressure allowed for that tire. Almost no application needs the max pressure. The sidewall of the XL is so much stiffer than the 9.00 or 11.00-20 tires that I doubt the lower pressure is the culprit.
Here is a thread with the factory data for the XLs...
Hello JT
Are you referring to a transmission PTO of the transfer case? I'd like to direct couple the pump to the PTO if that is possible.
If it's a transmission PTO does it have two outputs, one forward facing for the winch and one rear facing?

Parts are available, you may need to work to find them but they are out there.
The diesel MEP generators were all built for durability and to be able to run for a long period without being strained. They a very conservatively rated. Anything you can do to mount them securely and cut down on...
I'd suggest deleting this thread and starting over with a more descriptive title that would get the attention of folks who might help.
Try a new thread with a title like "Help needed for M915 at Lansing"
