    M43 engine swap

    Unless you change differential ratios, you might think about a gas motor just for road speed.

    My 1952 M135 Build

    I really like the look of the GMC trucks. I also like their interior layout better than M35 series trucks.

    Do you bench bleed the master cylinder?

    I do it exactly like you. I never had a problem from not bench bleeding a master cylinder. Anyway I don't like brake fluid drooling on me on installation.

    Replacing Rear Wheel Bearings and all pertaining to

    It would be most helpful if you could actually watch someone do one first. There are some basic things I find difficult to follow on youtube.

    Front wheel bearing lock tabs

    Just wanted to know what is used to bend the lock over the outer wheel bearing nut? Did you make a tool or does a tool exist to make that job go better. Big trucks have a locking rings with individual tabs and that is easy.

    New to me M35A3, suggestions needed

    Starters aren't too difficult to work on. I struggle with the brushes as I don't have 3 hands. You can use an old Motors manual for general starter procedures and good pictures. I hope yours just needs a cleaning and lubrication.

    What have you done to your JEEP today

    Those fuel filters never fill up completely . A sure thing is to check pump output quantity and pressure. The procedure is probably in the -10 manual. An old Motors manual will do, use CJ5 specs. Be careful and don't set fire to the jeep.

    After you have used a military vehicle for a daily driver, that switch operation becomes muscle memory.

    Generators make plenty of power for older military trucks. Reliable and EMP proof afaik.

    M49 deuce generator sourcing

    Do some troubleshooting first. Many times the regulator is the problem. The TMs have good information on this subject.

    Trailering a M37

    I used a lowboy trailer with 8 lug wheels. Pulled it with 3/4 ton pickup. I was glad for trailer brakes.

    Really great work you are doing. Perhaps you will have good news when you pull the differentials.

    M1078 Mechanic needed- Utah

    That sounds like a necessary thing. Tools and manuals are a great help.

    What have you done to your JEEP today

    There is a disk under stock coils, don't know what it is. Your coil terminal may not reach distributor cap without the thickness of the disk. Just a guess, perhaps worthless.

    M37 windshield removal question

    It's been a long time but I think there is a weld nut on the inside. A long soak with penetrating oil is your best bet before any hard twisting.
