The truck was purchased in 1988 after I advertised in the Selkirk paper for an M37 with a winch. At the time I owned another M37 that did not have a winch and I wanted to put a winch on that truck, as it was a very good truck. However, the new acquisition was stored in Winnipeg and the truck I wanted to put the winch on was stored out at the lake. Because of the close proximity of the new truck, I started taking it apart and eventually it was disassembled completely. After that, I had the pieces steam cleaned and then sand blasted. All the major components were painted by Frontier Toyota body shop when it was on Fort Street. The engine was rebuilt by Piston Ring and the transmission and transfer case by Central Standard Transmission. The winch was done by Prichard Engineering. I put all the pieces back together. The truck safety inspection was done by Mobile Brake and Clutch.The M37 was used by the Military up to about 1978. It is rated at 1500 lbs cross county and 3000 lbs on the highway. The Canadian military purchase these trucks from late 1951 to 1955. In the USA they acquired these trucks starting in late 1951 and continued acquisitions through 1968. Mechanical parts for the trucks are readily available from dealers in the States and many but not all body parts are still available. Tailgates, front fenders, driver’s side doors, are difficult to find NOS.
The trucks have fairly low gear ratios, 5.83, to enhance the cross-country capability, resulting in lower highway speed. Many owners that are not driving cross country have changed the differential gears to 4.89 which result in slightly higher road speeds. Most American trucks do not have a hard top and were equipped with a canvas top that can be removed. The hard top is just bolted on and could be changed to a soft top.
The military had various add-on kits to adapt these trucks to various conditions or uses. For example, there is a fording kit to allow these trucks to drive through water up to the depth of the drivers head. The fording kit is included with this truck and has extensions to extend the exhaust pipe and air breather vertically to allow operation under water. All the wiring harness connectors are individually water proof connectors. The spark plug wires, distributor, generator, voltage regulator, etc. were all sealed with water tight connectors. A hot water cab heater was a kit for cold weather. This kit is mounted on the left front fender. It is a NOS kit and is mounted on the truck. An Arctic heater kit was available to heat the engine coolant and circulate hot water through a heat exchanger in the battery box. This equipment was fired with gas from the fuel tank and electric fuel pump. One of these units is mounted at the bottom of the passenger front fender. This get is also NOS(new old stock). The arctic heater kit, because it was gas fired allowed the operator to warm up the engine anywhere without electricity.

1942 Dodge Carryall from WWII featured on 'Jay Leno's Garage'
Thu, Dec 28 2017On this episode of Jay Leno's Garage, Leno takes a look at a unique Dodge Carryall, both in its past and present states. The Carryall is a 1942 model restored and modified by Winslow Bent at Legacy Classic Trucks in Wyoming. According to Bent, the truck spent time in Tunisia during World War II. Obviously it's no longer a military vehicle, but Bent explains that he and his crew built the truck to still be extremely durable, since its new owner wanted a support vehicle for classic car rallies around the world and in remote locations. To reach this end, the Carryall's original inline-six has been replaced with an intercooled Cummins 4BT turbocharged diesel four-cylinder. Bent modified the engine to make less power than it could in order to make the engine understressed and longer lasting. In total, it makes only 130 horsepower, but 380 pound-feet of torque. It also features a boxed frame and heavy duty axles. It's plenty practical, too, with a large roof rack, winch, and even an on-board welding setup. But it's not all hardcore upgrades, since it also has air conditioning. Check out all the other cool details and listen to Leno and Bent geek out over leaf springs and intakes in the video above.

Chrysler minivans under investigation for stalling after fuel refill
Wed, 10 Sep 2014According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, at least one man has reported that his 2007 Dodge Grand Caravan stalled unexpectedly on the highway shortly after being refueled. The unidentified man who contacted NHTSA regarding the issue cited as many as eight similar instances reported by other drivers.
NHTSA has announced that it will launch an inquiry into this issue, which could affect as many as 160,000 minivans from Dodge and Chrysler that were sold in 2007 (or more, if a problem is found that extends to additional models years, we'd assume). As of yet, there's no formal investigation, let alone a recall, on these vans, as the agency is merely determining if further action is needed.
Two months ago, Chrysler recalled nearly 700,000 vehicles, the majority of which were minivans, from the 2008-2010 model years to replace ignition switches after an investigation found that their weak springs and detent positions could fool a driver into thinking the car was in the "Run" position, when it's actually in the "Accessory" position.
Dodge Grand Caravan, Journey no longer available in the California emissions states
Fri, Feb 28 2020The Dodge Grand Caravan and the Dodge Journey are no longer available for sale in California or any of the states that follow its emissions standards (often referred to as the ZEV states). As reported by Allpar.com, the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 in the Grand Caravan does not meet those emissions standards for 2020, and evidently neither does the 2.4-liter four-cylinder that is the sole engine offering in the Journey this year. The Pentastar V6 used in other Dodges, Chryslers and Jeeps is an updated unit that does not face the same emissions issues. The 2020 model year already was due to be the last for the Grand Caravan, which is being replaced in the lineup by a lower-priced and lower-spec version of the Chrysler Pacifica called the Chrysler Voyager. Production of the Grand Caravan at FCA's Windsor, Ontario factory is reportedly due to end in May. As for the Journey, that model has exceeded its sell-by date and is the oldest entrant in its class. The vehicle was introduced as a 2009 model, and not has seen major revisions in the 11 years since. For 2020, Dodge has cut the Journey model lineup to just two trim levels: SE Value and Crossroad (dropping the SE and the GT), and it's front-wheel drive only. But the Journey could continue — in some states at least — into the 2021 model year. Rumors of its replacement, with a sportier model based on the Alfa Romeo Stelvio, don't have it arriving until 2022 or so.
