Agreed; that is a winning combination right there.Good looking trailer. Let us know how it pulls!
???!Interesting note - there are no taps on the LMTV air gladhands. We were having a devil of a time trying to get air to go through the hose, it turns out you have to push down the air supply to trailer switch, and release the truck parking brake! With the truck brake on - no air. So, airing up a tire is pretty much a two man operation (two person for the politically correct out there).
Cheers
Sorry Kent. Forgot my rattle cansYou going to paint it before you leave Ft. Hood?
Move to Texas and get a DL here. You can get a Class A Non-CDL that'll let you play with all these kinds of toys without having the commercial crap. Plus then I'd have someone to go LMTVing with.Jelly. I really want one but the CDL requirement is sort of keeping me away.
Well I can't say yet. By the time we got the tires changed it was around 1:30 and we decided to split for lunch and haven't had the chance to take it for a spin yet. I'll do that this weekend and report back.I like the goodyear tires a lot better. Since you've had both does ride quality or road noise change at all?
Mark, That is the ABS test connector for the trailer.Good eye on the height Dan! Truck deck height at tailgate is 61 3/4" and trailer deck height at tailgate is 58 3/4". Not much but 3" is 3".
Forgot to mention that the Emergency Air line looks like an easy fix. Rory said it looked like they drove off with the line still connected and just broke the glad hand off. Since they tossed that part into the trailer I should be able to take it apart, trim the end of the hose, and just reattach it. With luck that's the only reason the brakes were caged.
Anyone know what this is? It's at the right rear of the trailer. It had a yellow cap (like a pipe plug cap) that just fell apart when I tried to remove it. The cap that's hanging there looks like it goes on once this thing is taken off.
I only went for a couple of miles this morning but the GoodYears are much smoother. The Michelins had a tendency to "hop" a bit and that's gone with the new tires.I like the goodyear tires a lot better. Since you've had both does ride quality or road noise change at all?
