In Reply to: Which are the best repair manuals to buy?????? posted by Thomas Carlson on Thursday, May 17, 2001 at 10:38AM :
Military Media makes a nice CD-ROM stuffed full of manuals for the Dodge WWII 3/4-ton and the M37 for $19.95 & $5 S&H. I have this CD and highly recommend it.
VPW also makes a CD for the M37. It is not as extensive as the MM CD, but does have a couple of items not covered by the MM CD. The VPW M37 CD is $49 & $7 S&H. I have this manual and while good, the MM is better and cheaper.
VPW also has a 1946-1968 Civilian PW CD for $49 & $7 S&H. I have not seen it, nor an I any kind of RKI on the civilian PW to know if this CD covers all the needed manuals.
As for the M37 CD's from both companies, and I assume the VPW PW CD, the pages can be printed out. These manuals will work on older PC's, like a 386. The VPW CD uses a proprietary engine to display the contents, the MM CD uses Adobe Acrobat Reader 3.0 or 4.0, both available free (3.0 comes on the CD). Thus, you could relagate an older, obsolete PC to the garage with an obsolete B&W inkjet and be able to look up and print out the pages at will. (Cover the keyboard with Saran Wrap to keep grimy hands off of it.)
