Just updating that I haven't spotted this LED light on my control board. I pulled the whole kit inside and I've been doing another 24 hour test to see how it does. So far so good, holding at 4C with no issues. When I hit the 24hr mark, I'm gonna check how condensation is doing and then drop...

I don't have a ton of people around me who give a crap about old crap, but I get the feeling that folks here might. Just sharing a find from somebody in my family while I'm clearing out a packed-full garage. I doubt it's much more than a paperweight or an art project at this point, but fun...

I might be able to have a look sometime today. I've only been testing that it gets cold at all. Just did a 24 hour test on AC power with no batteries. Came out late in the morning to find the unit beeping and displaying a high temp warning. It had crawled up to 7.1C from 4.9C even though the...

Hey thanks bud - I really appreciate it. I love tinkering and it was especially cool (no pun :p ) to get to learn about refrigeration. It's pretty amazing how it works. It looks like this compressor is a Danfoss BD35, designed for 12V portable fridges. I couldn't figure out a feasible way to...

Didn't get to focus on this as often as I was hoping, but happy to report that my first ever refrigeration job appears to be mostly a success. Appreciate all the notes and recommendations here. There were a few reasons I wanted to avoid a bite valve. One is that the clearance was pretty...

Yeah, I don't know what the hell was goin on, but somebody definitely didn't care about re-use. Included here are two pictures of the damaged tube section I need to replace, and one picture of what I'm guessing is where they charged it from the factory. I don't know if it's helpful or just...

Before I even ask a question, thanks so much to everybody here who provided technical input on this thread. I've read through the whole thing and making notes as I'm the new owner of an AcuTemp AX56L that I got off GovPlanet. Sadly, mine was one of the units where they decided to drain the...

Making a note of the info I've come across from registering my new-to-me M1101 (<2000lbs) while it's still fresh in my head. Hopefully this can save somebody some time or an extra trip to the DMV. And hopefully somebody else has updated information from registering a trailer >=2000lbs they can...

Not the same bulbs, but I found this link from another SS post: https://www.ebay.com/itm/262037336151. Gonna be trying them out on my new-to-me M1101.

Hi there - apologies for the thread necromancy. I'm the new owner of a 1995 Fermont MEP-803A that underwent a Tier II Reset at Letterkenny Army Depot ("When the first shot counts, count on LEAD"). I've been going down the rabbit hole on steelsoldiers and downloading copies of all the pertinent...

I thought the same. Sadly, no dice.

Heads up for Florida trailer registration - they might demand a weight certificate as well. I'm in the process of trying to get a plate for my M1101 and I got turned away because I didn't have a Manufacturer's Certificate of Origin to along with the bill of sale. They wouldn't even bother...

Hi all - newcomer to Steel Soldiers and first post. I recently won an auction for a M1101 trailer that had this heavy plate tucked away in a corner that I didn't spot in the auction photos. I have no idea what it is and I'm hoping the community might be able to shed some light. It seems like...
