Re: Kids love military trucks!
Our local A&W has a vintage car show every Thursday. Every few weeks I take my M37 down there. Most vehicles have the "No Touch" signs. I encourage people, especially kids, to hop in. They love it.

Re: speedo cable puking oil at speedometer
Hi guys. Turns out that the vent had been replaced with a plug. My best buddy RMS had a spare vent so I changed that out. Hopefully that does the trick.

Re: Governor adjustment
It looks like the gov was already adjusted to the max speed. I will pull it apart to see if something isn't quite right. I am at my whits end as this thing just wont go over 35. Giving it more throttle just bogs it.
And thanks guys for all the info

Re: speedo cable puking oil at speedometer
Thanks guys. I don't believe I have the O ring seal. I am going to have to pop out the vent and see what it is. They sure hid it nicely' I didn't want to pull it till I was sure that it wasn't something else.

speedo cable puking oil at speedometer
Now that's a new one to me. Went for a drive today and after I got home, I saw oil on the floor. It was coming out of the speedo cable. I imagine there is a vent problem. I found the breather in the manual diagram and when I feel around for it, All I feel is a small four sided screw or plug of some ...

Re: Governor adjustment
But back to the question. Shouldn't the inner screw turn independently of the nut?

Governor adjustment
Hi guys. I am still in the long haul of getting my m37 project on the road. I want to try adjusting my governor as this truck just will not go more than 35 mph. I have tried pretty much everything and a few mechanic friends are stumped. So, the subject at hand I have the EME manual and according to ...

Re: pulling the distributer
I had a hell of a time trying to figure out what was wrong with my m37. Thanks to RSM for lending me a spare distributer. As it turned out, the shaft bushing was worn. The thing would not run under load or do over 30 mph. Close to being fixed now.

Re: spurtting at higher speeds
I just got my m37 project plated so I could drive it on the road. Idles great, runs as smooth as silk, then dies at 30 mph. Took the carb apart(it had sat for over a decade).It was full of crud. The pump plunger is seized, the plunger leather is dried right out, the pump intake ball was stuck in the...
