First, the idiot light, the oil pressure warning light, is switched at a pressure of some 2 to 3 PSI. If you are that low in that location, the engine is just dying. If you use a hydraulic gauge it should range up to 100 PSI. The needed hose you can NOT make yourself! You need a visit at your...

I think, Bad Masters said everything about the problem with balancing tires. It is uncommon, however really helps. And one mor thing:check your rims for propper runnig. I saw many US Army trucks with bouncing axles over here. If you look concentrated at the wheels, you will find out, that the...

I think, most helpfull is: first:switch on the brain, second: read the manual. third: try to understand the manual, forth: prepare the necessary tools and gaskets, fifth: go through the project in your mind, remove and install the IP without tools, just thinking, sixth: just do the job and you...

I do not think so. The Blazer springs are of a different design as the PU truck springs, at least the rear ones. The rear ones are 4 inch longer. Wolf

If a W30 oil is not awailable, a 15W40 should work fine, for its viscosity range is higher than 30. Air coold engines have hoter cylinder surfaces as water cooled engines, however, the engine oil in the oil pan is useually designed to be at the same range (80°C to 90°C). If the oil gets too hot...

HM, it is for shure not a M101A1, at least a M101A2. However, the landing leg is different, the fixture for the electric plug is on the trailer, the axle width... so I think it is a M101A3. However, A3's should have Hummer tires. But the bolt patern fits for the A2 rims. Wolf

Ferrets are nice vehicles if the British technology works (when ist works, it works fine). As they are made asscout cars, the acceleration is quite well. And US truck to European understanding nowadays are slightly underpowered. Or how would you call a 16 ton truck with 290 hp? Wolf

7.50-20 would be ok for the truck due to tire diameter. However, the truck looks like standing on upright black records which we call asphlat cutter. 11.00-16 looks good. Beside that: Nice job, however with the more modern front direction indicators the fixing of the side direction indicators /...

Did not find one in my trailer frame, only o the plate. Sanded my frame down by hand, so I should have seen something. Wolf

HM, I think the answer is not as easy as "Looking good", "Nice truck", "Nice combination". Fact is: The canvas you own is the "plastic" one, so the canvas is from a time when the M37 was out of service for at least 15 years. That does to my opinion not fit together, regardless the situation that...

You can by here in Europe an unrestored M37 for some 1900 Euro. Amount of work unknown, however they say the trucks are ready to run with little work (what so ever little work might mean). Restored ones go for 5000 Euro to 10000 Euro, if on sale. Top restauration may realise a higher price ,ut...

Good to read the M715 survived with little damage. Buildings can be replaced, old OD iron not. Wolf

If you have oil in the air system, look for a new compressor. The actual one is worn out. Due to experience repair is not helpfull, just pushes beside extra costs the aqvisision of a new one to the futur. Wolf

I suppose it is a 6.2 l Diesel. The max. power is at 3600 rpm (155 hp) (see air filter housing sticker). Hight idle with no load is between 3800 and 4000 rpm, depending on the quality of the govener on the IP. On the manufactures label of the IP the high idle no load is mentioned, if you...

Liquid technical plastic will do it as well, which you can spray paint. The sicrets is that ALL rust must be propperly removed. And a first class primer. Else after several years the brown gold will come up again! Wolf

Here is a pic from the book Tanks & Transport vehicles WWII of a Jeep with mud guards. Wolf

For your modern towing vehicle the M101 A1 probably is NOT the correct choise. The trailer is heavy (about 600 kg on the scales, 1340 lbs according to the manual), tire size is uncommon (9.00-16 vers 235/85R16 LR E on a M102A2), stud pattern is vintage, so at least an original rim is needed for...

Danger Ranger, by that time only the beach master version had a longer wheel base than the standard Willy's. And that one was exclusivly used in the pacific theatre. Refer to Jeeps over the Pacific. Wolf

The vehicle is for shure a Willy's MB (or a Ford MB). The fender modifications were common in Germany, lots of photos known in the literature. The drivers seat is somewhat uncommon, many be stolen from a french car. German seats to my knowledge did not look like that by that time, at least no...

There are direct injection Diesel engines arround this world WITH glow plugs, for example the OM 314 V or OM 352 A or OM 602 DE 29 LA or OM 501 LA/III, OM 501LA/IV, OM 502LA/III, OM 457hLA/III, OM 457hLA/IV and simelar. The glow plugs are active during could idle to reduce the emmission. The...
