    Can towing with the rear driveshaft connected cause case or transmission failure?

    Okay I was going from memory and it's been a very very long time since I was involved in towing an M37 and therefore I was off a little on the neutral thins... so you would need to put the transfer case in disengaged and high. I thought it had a neutral position, but upon looking it up I see it...

    Need help choosing color

    Want to keep it military go with USAF Strata Blue. It's a great blue color. Or go MERC 4 color cammo.

    Can towing with the rear driveshaft connected cause case or transmission failure?

    With the drive shaft connected you were turning all the parts up through the transmission. I'm assuming that the transmission was in neutral? How about the transfer case was it in neutral also? If they both were then it shouldn't have caused any problems, but it if the transfer case was in...

    M37 Driveability

    That's interesting that you had that done Gunny. When I was into VWs back in the late 80s and early 90s there were a lot of articles that I read on turning up the power on the old flat four of the VW Bug. The most important was to blueprint and balance the system out. I never thought of using...

    6.2L repower wiring

    You will have to make up a system similar to the CUCV because the injector pump cutoff relay is 12v on the CUCV and if you are keeping the stock CUCV alternators then you will have two 12v outputs.

    HMMWV, up-armored, No headlights

    Your on the right track. Check the hot wires check the grounds. If the HMMWV follows conventional MV wiring there is a circ breaker in the light switch. The -20 manual should give you step by step troubleshooting of the lighting system.

    M37 Hardtop Question and search.

    My truck has an original steel hardtop and I do not have any bows. After looking at VPW website it looks like they designed the top to work with the bows so that you didn't need to remove them where as the original top does not work with bows. I'd say give them a call and see if you can use the...

    M37 Hardtop Question and search.

    The VPW top seems to be an exact replica of the steel stock GI hard top. I don't think the bows are needed for it....but check with them. If it is an exact match to the original then I would thin the fit would be about the same...that being that the GI top fit marginally well all things...

    Need new fuel pump for M151A2

    Take the pump to a good auto parts store. One that has knowledgeable staff and see if they can find a replacement. If memory serves me right (and it may not) a Chevy small block fuel pump may work. I know the bolt up is the same and gasket to block is the same so maybe that will work. Take...

    finished for the most part M886

    That is the nicest cracker box I've ever seen. Even better than the one's I've seen on active duty. You did a great job!

    Contemplating a Bobber! To do or not to do that is the question!

    I agree with TacoZilla. Set the axle where you want it and then get a prop shop to make a new one or modify the existing one.

    Great, now what did I do? (w/pictures)

    Sure it's white smoke and not a light blue? Sounds like it's burning off a little extra oil and or diesel when it first fires.

    A 300 mile drive?

    Picking up a new vehicle that you've never driven before (not counting time in service) and not knowing the mechanics on it. i.e. How well it has been maintained etc. I would trailer it back. That being said. If I know the truck and know what it can do I would drive it 300 miles no problem and...
