    Electric M37

    You have much more restraint than I do. I don't think I could resist driving it around the block, or at least around the yard.

    That's agreat resource. You really should put your website in the header or footer of that PDF, so people remember where they got it.

    M37 Engine Swap with M151 Engine

    I have to agree. I never thought I would see a question from someone looking to swap a smaller engine into an M37. I'm not sure where you are located, but Ken Holmes in Worcester, MA did a first rate job rebuilding my engine for about $2000. Between all the changes needed to make engine from...

    Periphery washer source

    I had heard that the manufacturer stopped making them - or at least stopped making most sizes. However, I did come across this link. I have not contacted them to see if they are actually available, or if this is just a listing that has not been updated...

    Advice before buying

    They are some great trucks. I'm curious about your 6 MPG gas mileage. When I had the 230 engine in my M37, was routinely getting 9+ MPG, sometimes even a hair over 10, doing mostly 35-40 MPH driving on rural roads and in local villages. With the freshly rebuild 251 that is in there now, I...

    M-37 Starts Hard When Cold

    I read a discussion comparing NOS coils and the Chinese chrome ones. I showed 6 ohms as typical for the primary on the NOS coils. On the chrome chinese coils, and the newer black aftermarket coils from Debella Jeep, the primary is closer to 12 ohms. Im running one of the Debella coils on my M37...

    M-37 Starts Hard When Cold

    If you are going to spend the money for a coil, might as well get one that fits so you have a spare ready to go in case you ever need it. If you have the stock 24V system with the waterproof distributor, Debella Jeep sells one that will fit for $55. It's a step up from the chome ones that are on...

    M-37 Starts Hard When Cold

    There are some good threads on setting the float in the carb for these trucks in the technical Group on the G741 forum. Not sur eif that is your issue, but thought I'd mention it just in case.

    If you think it's acting flooded, have you pulled the plugs after a failed attempt to start to see if they are wet?

    Advice before buying

    If you are not already on them, you might want to check out the G741 Forum and the Dodge M37/M43 FaceBook Group. I see trucks listed for sale there form time to time, as well as a lot of helpful advice being offered. You will probably want some printed technical manuals if you do end up buying...

    What’s the market like for M37s?

    If you are not familiar with the trucks, you may want to have someone who knows them come with you to do a pre-buy iinspection on the trucks. There are some known problem areas for corrosion, and other things to look for. How deeply you need to look at the engine and drive train depends on...

    Want to buy M37 metal top

    White Oak is a really good choice. It's strong, and significantly more rot resistant than Red Oak. Both can be really eye-catching, if you have good wood to work with.
