Dodge M37 wheels

Removing M37 wheels, needed to apply heat to 4 nuts.

[@roberthayden4512]

When i was working for Uncle Sam I had to take the squadron M37 to the motor pool every month and loosen all those lug nuts and oil the studs as well as oil all the other moving parts on and around the truck EVERY MONTH. It was a pain but they didn't rust up. Have fun and remember PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE is worth the time. Like your U-Tube videos, You provide some really good info. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND EFFORT.

Robert Hayden Thank you for the kind comments there will be more videos coming soon

You should take on Trooper Tyree's October 2022 Great Smoky Mountains Convoy. See HISTORY in MOTION magazine 'Events' listing of the Military Vehicle Preservation Association.

just use some copper anti seize, thats what i use on the lug nuts on my m35. id suggest getting a hammer wrench for your truck, makes life a lot easier dunno if itll have enough clearance though

I thought I had a tuff truck my 75 dodge 4x4 power wagon looks like a little baby if i was to parked next to that beast. The Hummer 1 the real one. The tire and rims set up off of it would be awesome on that. 🤔🤫😉👍✌️👌😂💯🍒

[@douglasmolinski8248]

Can you tell me the paint code or shade for that color "Green" ?

[@WatsonsWagons]

Have no idea, what you see is years of fading

[@frankdavidson9675]

no one mention the lug nuts being left and right on the m37 i heated mine then put a 10ft pipe on lug wrench me and wife swinging on it to finillybrek the loose

[@MedusalObligation]

You need to learn about Swench 750 wrenches. Makes the job a one hander.

[@frankdavidson9675]

i need to replace the horn wire in steering shaft also take strreing wheel off to repair i need info about this

[@stanzingyaltson1280]

Great job and I have too .thanks for sharing it. 👍

[@olivedrabgarage6243]

Mike...safety first mate, an old truckies trick is to use motor oil and a breaker bar....which is basically a long steel pipe or rod placed over/in the handle to put extra fulcrum pressure on the wrench.....it's practically effortless depending on the length of the bar.

[@WatsonsWagons]

Gavin Ashard I know about cheater pipes I didn’t have one handy

[@frankdavidson9675]

you make it sound so easy (aint so) its tough me and wife about 400lb + a torch and oil + a 10 cheater steel pipe with both swing ing at 10 ft finily broke them loose put marine grease when they went back on
