Re: New to M37s HELP!

Very sad news, My friend who owned this fine truck has passed away. The family is trying to decide what to do with it, in the mean time I will continue to drive it around our camp and keep it in good working order. :(

Re: New to M37s HELP!

Now that it's stopping, I've found out that the head gasket is leaking :roll: pushing out antifreeze out the overflow tube while giving it gas, bubbling with the cap off and idling :cry: Is that head gasket hard to find? Can't imagine it's to hard to replace, how prone to cracks are the blocks?

Re: New to M37s HELP!

Thanks for all the info, I did know about the left and right hand thread lug nuts, but the adjusters on the backing plate was very helpful. I removed the Dualmatic locking hubs and then the regular socket worked fine. I'm replacing all the wheel cylinders and the master cylinder, the brake hoses and...

Yeah, the regular socket won't fit and they are tight enough that an open end wrench won't budge them. Looks like I'll pull the hubs, got to get them off anyway to get the drums off. Thanks
