    M38 potential project questions.

    I just bought a 1969 CJ5 that runs and drives for $2,000. About that rusty, no brakes. Let your wallet and desires be your guide. Seems expensive to me.

    Why so hard to shift gears

    Remember to use respiratory protection. No blowing with an air hose. Wash out with brake cleaner or such.

    Why so hard to shift gears

    It's replacement clutch parts time. Looks like the friction disk has come apart. Things will be better after this repair.

    Pneumatic wiper motor rebuild/replace

    I like the sound of pneumatic wipers driving down the road but I would go with electric. That being said, I have one, maybe two pneumatic motors I'd give you. Pm me.

    Split Rim Safety

    A good writeup with explanation. Snap ring rims are great as long as one follows procedure. They just work you hard fixing flats at home.

    M37 battery drain

    You can open the regulator and check the points. Use an ignition points file and smooth the burnt surfaces. Older Motors Manuals have information on troubleshooting and adjustment. I repaired mine in the M37 I used to have.

    You may need to check grounds to the instrument panel. Be sure ground wires/straps are clean and secure.

    A download of the -10 operator's manual will be most helpful. It is good with pictures and all.

    1954 M37 paint and markings

    That is how my 1962 from Fort Hood was marked.

    1954 M37 paint and markings

    That is excellent advice. That tube has a slot in the top. If not too rusted, a hook can pull it out. You can still get new ones I think.

    Looking for the specific difference between "Split Rings" and "Split Rims/Widowmaker"

    I don't have a problem using split ring rims as on military trucks. I like not having machines to break down the tire for flat repair. Caution is always in order when reinflating after repair. Have the right tools for the job. The rest is your sweat equity.

    Water temp gauge erratic when running, steady with engine off

    Just a wild stab at it, could your new alternator be feeding ac through bad diodes?

    Before you get too radical, try soaking with penetrating oil for several days. You aren't in a big hurry to fix a daily driver. Use a 3/4" breaker bar after the long soaking. I wouldn't use any extreme heat unless ALL else fails. Good luck, looks like a good prospect.

    1950’s Continental R6602

    It would be a hoot to have a multiport fuel injected 6602! Could have some driveline issues.
