    I actually found an original mint condition tank lid seal. Scooped it up as a spare. I have not tested the current seal for leakage as yet. Need to sanitize then fill with water, The seal was a pricey $70.00 but I wanted the OE replacement.

    Can the M37 Oil pan be removed with the engine still in the truck?

    Thank you for your reply, I have two daughters living in Tucson and one daughter living in Goodyear, Az. Love the state and hope it does not go the way of some other unmentioned states...like Calimexizuela.

    Can the M37 Oil pan be removed with the engine still in the truck?

    Thank you both for your reply. I thought about jacking up the frame, but felt I should ask first. I am not as spry as I once was and try to eliminate unwanted extra labor with no results. Again, Thank you both.

    Will 7.50X16 NDT tires fit on MB/GPW?

    I have the 750 x 16's on the jeep. At first there seemed to be no problem, but after driving around a bit (flexing the suspension) I found that the tires do rub the edges of the tire tread when reaching the maximum turning point on left or right turns. They appear to not rub in normal small...

    Largest tire size that can be used on a M37, M43 with stock suspension?

    Largest tire size that can be used on a M37, M43 with stock suspension? I have heard that a 1100 X 16 can be used without vehicle suspension modification. Can anyone tell me who has used larger tires on their M37 and M43. Many thanks for any reply.

    Will 7.50X16 NDT tires fit on MB/GPW?

    I have 700 X 16 on a 1943 GPW. No problems rubbing. The 750 X 16 is 1/2 inch taller...so I do not know if they will clear. Strangely enough I have a friend who wants me to try a 750 X 16 new Military tread NDT tire on my jeep to see if they will work. I will be doing this in about ten days from...

    Just bought a M1112 Water Trailer

    I could not find any warning labels and only one data plate for this trailer. So I had a label maker make these up for me. I copied the exact dimensions of the original warning labels and printing position of the words as well as the colors and here is what I got.
