    Exhaust heat wrap

    I am thinking of using header wrap on the jeep down pipe to keep brake lines cooler. Any downsides to doing that? What type of wrap would be best, Thanks

    M37 Acceration problem

    Some have a pipe plug. Otherwise disconnect pcv fitting and use that.

    Advice before buying

    Try for a M37b model made in the early 1960s Some worthwhile improvements and the wiring isn't quite so old

    M37 Acceration problem

    The accelerator pump works off engine vacuum. Check the carburetor mount gasket for leak. Put a vacuum Guage on the engine and see what you have. All vacuum connections ok, even at the fuel pump? You might try a little mixture adjustment on idle mixture screw.

    JHGW5A / Hecurles ZXAER Generator

    Why don't you roll the dice. I know I've wasted $40 on less promising things.

    JHGW5A / Hecurles ZXAER Generator

    That looks very much like an early jeep fuel pump. Rebuild kits are available for those as well as new pumps. Look at photos Jeep parts suppliers have.

    Stripped Geared Hub Drain Plug...good extraction methods?

    I don't use the L shaped Allen wrenches for high torque items. Have had much better results with 3/8 or 1/2 drive Allen wrenches.

    Stripped Geared Hub Drain Plug...good extraction methods?

    Find a tall nut that will fit the hex in the plug. Think spring hanger nut . Weld this to the plug, let cool for a few minutes, then unscrew.

    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

    Good going! Glad to hear about progress.

    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.

    Relay to turn on brake and turn signals with ignition on?

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