    M49 deuce generator sourcing

    Do some troubleshooting first. Many times the regulator is the problem. The TMs have good information on this subject.

    What have you done to your JEEP today

    There is a disk under stock coils, don't know what it is. Your coil terminal may not reach distributor cap without the thickness of the disk. Just a guess, perhaps worthless.

    M37 windshield removal question

    It's been a long time but I think there is a weld nut on the inside. A long soak with penetrating oil is your best bet before any hard twisting.

    I wouldn't give up on any of the systems yet. Gently unscrew all drain plugs until water oozes out and you get oil. If you don't get much, you may be OK. Might pull injectors and put light oil in before you roll the engine over. Be gentle and patient grasshopper. Just my .02 worth.

    US Marine Corps M37

    The truck is not bad. You have something you can work with. I've seen some real beaters come back from the grave.

    Weird Fuel pressure issue…

    Regarding tank liners, after cleaning the crud and loose rust. Then the tank gets acid etched so the liner will stay on. Tank must be removed so you can roll it around both for acid and sealer. For large tanks, may not be worth it. Yrmv

    Need an MTV Mechanic in western USA, ideally near central CA

    Just my experiences, it would be best not to turn that repair job to people unfamiliar with those trucks. It can go badly.
