I've had this M38A1 (1953) about a year and a half. New Fuel Pump and Carb rebuild when I first got it. It has run/started/idled perfect for a year and a half. Probably put 1000 miles on it. Only...

I could use a cover that would go on Windshield up or down.
We have a family cabin we stay at one week a year. It’s in MS, hot as hell, humid, extremely dusty, and we usually have rain on/off while we are there. I have never had a top on my 1953 M38A1 and...
Thank you Bmorgil. I got some ordered. I see all your replies on the board and I appreciate you taking the time to pass along some knowledge to a new Jeep owner!

1952 M38A1. I’ve read various posts on this. I know people are pretty opinionated on lubes, especially on the transmission/transfer fluid. Any specific brands/blends y’all recommend for my...
Ok, so I did your 4 second test above. If I hold it in 4 seconds, it doesn’t grind at all. I thought I was babying it before, but I guess I just need to slow things down another couple seconds.
Thanks for the input. I'll do some of those tests tonight. I will say, I have never tried to shift into 1st or Reverse while moving. It's always been while I was completely stopped. I also have...
Thanks Bmorgil. I got a chance to swap out all (transfer, transmission, oil, both differentials, coolant) the fluids 2 weekends back. Good thing I did. The oil reservoir had some black tar sludge...
I had tried the "search" feature for topics related to this on the forum but it gave me a bunch of random threads. I had briefly looked up under the floorboard to see where all that heat was coming...
New M38a1 owner. Got it a couple months back and I’m waiting on my manuals I bought from KW. I have been enjoying driving it around so much that I hadn’t paid much attention to the heater blowing on...
Thanks, makes perfect sense. I’m just gonna dump and replace all the fluids tomorrow afternoon and then replace any gaskets when I have time. At least if I do need to top any of them off, I’ll know...
I bought an M38A1 a month or so ago. I need to drain all the fluids and start from scratch because I don't know the history on it. Some of my gaskets are leaking underneath so it'll be a good time...
New to the forum. I've been up under my jeep and read some of the sticky's about which grease to use where, but does anyone have a diagram of all the locations of the zerks on an M38A1? 1952?
New Member & Jeep Owner (1952 M38A1). Got it for Father's Day. Wanted one for 15 years. I'm located in Mississippi. Looking forward to getting to know some of you.
Picked it up in Fairhope, AL. ...
