I can promise you, a uhaul trailer WILL tow a M37!
I never went above 55 and because the uhaul trailer has brakes, I was able to stop (the most important part of towing).
As far as renting, it averages about 75-80 a day and I usually take off for about a week, so it financially makes more...
Looking at the dash, it has the warning about putting the transmission in 4th or 5th speed before using the crane and winches.. so it very well may have been a wrecker... I don't know enough about the wreckers to say... maybe @m715mike would know... I hear he has an 800 series wrecker...
OK, just making sure we are talking about the same thing...
This is a M106A1, right?
How does the wide spread on the axles do? I would think you get a lot of drag.....
OK all-
I believe in the 6 "P"s.... if you know you know....
I'm pretty sure in the future there will be a time I want to bring both the 5 ton and M37 on a trip and don't want to be limited by the top speed of the M37 on the interstate.... (Let's say I'm setting the 5 ton up as a campsite and...

Drive my 5 ton from the house to north of Marshall, Texas to camp (about 4 hours) and biggest problem was dealing...
I would like to thank all of the little people who made this possible... without you I would just be me... and I kind of suck..... 😁😂🤣
Seriously, thanks to all that voted for Big Bertha!
Much respect to @TheQuaker you have abeautiful truck and the work you've put into her!!! 😳😳😳
Welcome to the site! This is a veritable clearinghouse of knowledge and there are some pretty sharp cookies here.
I owned a 1969 M35A2 and it would pop out of gear. it wasn't long afterward I lost the top gear and had to replace the transmission.
It's not a hard task, but as stated, in my...
Thanks for the input. I was well aware of the pressures involved and he only inflated for about a minute on each tire. It was his way of helping.
I've seen the videos of the tires erupting and wouldn't put him in that position.
Thanks again bud.
And so it continues...
I found a solid cab, fenders and bed and headlights to replace the ones I have that have a touch (or more) of cancer and will be picking them up when I get in from offshore.
To prepare for swapping the bed out, I started removing the sides today. I know it's "easier" to...
