Wow thanks for all the Useful information about the M37. I am still quite a ways from getting mine started. I still have to test out the coil and the starter to make sure they still function. Other than the fact that I found a couple notations and back in as far as 1974 the odometer still read 22,917 exactly what it reads now and again in 1977 again more service but obviously it was never run down the road it was parked. So I have a lot of what if's with this truck of mine. In Nevada all U.S. Military trucks can not be a daily driver they have to be registered as a parade or Off Road Vehicle that's all So Mine will never see the same use you have for your vehicle. Thanks for the great video.
Hopefully the video helps, I made it because there is some absolutely terrible advice cropping up lately. If you need any help with anything specific, don’t hesitate to ask, and I would be happy to make a video about it.
Thanks for the video. My father ran out of room in his shop and gave me his 1951 m37. I’m just learning my way around it! Trying to diagnose what I think is an ignition problem. The truck putts around ok but seems to be missing when I ask for any real power out of it. I’m going to take a look at the coil and distributor.
Sounds like the coil is weak, check to see if the spark is orange. An orange spark will start and run, but will have low power and struggle to get up to speed.
