The M37 production started in '51

Weren't some of these converted to door mounts in the field?

Yes - fuel in the crankcase is NOT good and usually a sign of a problem with the fuel pump (typically a diaphragm gone bad). When I had my engine rebuilt, we eliminated the stock fuel pump and went with electric. The failure mode of the stock pump can ruin your engine in short order, the failure of ...

Welcome! Any pictures of your project?

When wiring that oil pressure relay, how do you wire it so the fuel pump runs when starting, or if you want to prime the fuel lines? Do you just have a bypass switch to force the pump on?

Interesting twist here: The manual for the M37 CDN (CDN-VEH-D114) with the 251 engine says "The capacity of the engine lubricating system is 4 quarts (refill) or 5 quarts if the oil filter has been drained or replaced." (Pg 13) For the US trucks with the 230 engine, TM 9-8030 says "Cr...

The post by ez8 about excessive oil consumption reminded me of something I've often wondered: What is considered normal oil consumption for a 230 or 251 engine? Does it vary significantly based on driving conditions: running around at 40-45 MPH vs in-town local driving or "parade duty", to...
