    M37 Dash Panel Light Shorted - Sparks Flew

    Ok, if it's NOS, and never been used and/or still in the box, are you saying the wires might be cracked or brittle? Either way, good advice. I'll keep that in mind. Thanks!

    M37 Dash Panel Light Shorted - Sparks Flew

    dmetalmiki - Yes, that's my truck in the avatar. I was never into cars as a kid and was never really into mechanical stuff throughout my years, even as a BMO in the Army. I am learning now, such as removing and fixing my fuel pump, that it comes with ownership of a vehicle that is one month...

    M37 Dash Panel Light Shorted - Sparks Flew

    Yes, I realized that once I started looking at the wires behind the dash panel. I'm going to have to start spending more time with it and learning the electrical system. I've heard the harnesses can be very time-consuming. Thanks...Nic pic, by the way.

    M37 Dash Panel Light Shorted - Sparks Flew

    "Lessen the chance of an electrical fire"!?!?!? Gee, thanks Sergeant Major :-| Actually, that's good advice, SGM. Okay, while tinkering around with the panel and speaking to John at Midwest Military, I found the 2 to 1 Douglas connector. He has the parts for roughly $15 and told me it...

    M37 Dash Panel Light Shorted - Sparks Flew

    All - Still getting use to this site. My '62 M37B1 had the left side dash/panel light hiss, spark and arc last week. I pulled the panel off and found a mess of (original) wires. Some are in pretty good condition, but others seem to be flaking/cracking. SITUATION: The aluminum(?) connector...

    M37 Fuel Pump Removal

    Thanks to all who replied. I found that the problem is the lower rod seal causing the oil leak. Since I'm using a 24v electronic fuel pump, I do not need a total rebuild. I've ordered the necessary parts and they will (hopefully) be here by Friday so I can work on it Saturday. I removed the fuel...

    M37 Fuel Pump Removal

    If it was the fuel pump, I cannot find the bolt to remove it.

    M37 Fuel Pump Removal

    What stopped your leak: New fuel pump or the large vacuum reservoir?

    M37 Fuel Pump Removal

    Okay, will that stop the oil leak? Also, do I need to replace the current pump? I really don't drive him that much, except for parades and such...and especially not in the rain, so I'm not too worried about the wipers.

    M37 Fuel Pump Removal

    Well, I don't really drive Humpty that much. Usually every time I drive him, I'll play with the wipers, but they move slowly and don't even complete a full sweep, so I have to manually move them back into the top horizontal position. Do you think I need to replace the fuel pump? I see Midwest...

    M37 Fuel Pump Removal

    Ok, that sounds familiar, based on my mechanic and previous owner of my truck. My wipers barely move when I activate them. So, do I need a new fuel pump? What's the most economical way to fix this (I have some electrical problems, as well). Thanks!

    M37 Fuel Pump Removal

    All, my '62 M37B1 has been running well, but has two oil leaks after running it for awhile. I was at a historic military vehicle rally at Fort Hood last year when someone noticed oil on the ground. There were drips of oil from the bottom tip of the original fuel pump (a fuel injector/pump was...
