There's a ground connection at the forward crossmember you may have missed in your junction box. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

The capacity of the tires is going to be indicated on the sidewall. Tire rating x's 2 = load capacity. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

Any 8 lug wheel from 11-ish on back will fit the lug pattern...Ford/GM/Mopar all had the same lug pattern for years, be it years ago. Any factory wheel is going to have the offset and pattern you'll ever need. If you want aftermarket, you can have tire guys pick any old 8-lug truck in their...

Full disclosure...not a CUCV, it's my 78 RCLB K25. Plow truck, water haul truck, retired repo truck, do whatever I want because Squarebody trucks will always be badass truck...have a few MVP parts from the CUCV because a Squarebody is a Squarebody and CUCV parts are from badass trucks and those...

Well, I guess our eyes see different things given different experiences and we can always agree to disagree. The contraption in this pic (below the bumper) makes many folks pop a blood vessel in their forehead when they cry "it wasn't built for that"...no smart guy, it was modified for that use...

This mindset is one that has boggled my mind for years. The Pintle/Lunette combo is used by the military on the light side for continuity as the heavy towing capacity is required to use a Lunette. The Lunette is used for 10K and up weight even up to class 8 trucks with air brakes ex Lineman...

Brake capacity is best stated in GVW ratings: GVWR - gross vehicle weight rating GCWR - gross combination weight rating These are the safe LEGAL weight limitations set by the manufacturer when it was built. Now, being a CUCV owner you're going to find 2 distinct and different ratings for this...

Strictly in curiosity...why reinvent the wheel? If you have wiring problems, why not just replace the harness with an OE harness? Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

You're a gentleman and a scholar. Thank you! Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

What is the trailer model? Posting pics always helps things. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

Also got a new-used toy in the mail this past week...a Fluke AC/DC current clamp. It goes fashionably well with my Fluke 87V meter. I was able to measure the hot legs at the lugs to verify all the gauge readings are on par when running the 5000W shop heater as a load bank. (Sorry I didn't get a...

Shenanagains cont'd: Took about a month to find all the right pieces commercially, but I basically I was able to meld the equivalent MEP fuel tank drain pieces to the drain of my 96 gal x-fer tank that lives in the bed of my plow truck. Since both are the same size, the OE external fuel line...

It's a keychain. We have them fror sale in our snackbar at work. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00W63X0LA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_AQ8R6CRTTKTHGF9VYZBX?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

Negative. This is a 2-bank 12v charger. One lead goes to each battery. This method is (in theory) superior to 24v charging at the slave port since it charges/maintains the batteries separately. This way an individual fault can be seen hopefully before a critical need arises. Sent from my...

The trailer gods have bestowed great gifts upon the... Updates on some chores: - A couple sellers on eBay offer a commercially available 8' 7-way RV trailer whip with the appropriate weather-tight Packard terminals crimped and ready to go. This whip installs exactly as the NATO 12-wire whip...

My G7200 had died a few months prior, and I couldn't bring myself to shelling out that much bread. Got a better idea from some fellas on another thread...while def not interchangeable between units, a far better mousetrap IMO. Give it a look, post #14...

What means did you use to secure the e-track? Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

I zoomed into the OP's pic...in the rear I can say with fair certainty it's the LTT...I'd be willing to make a small wager hahaha, but I've been wrong twice in my life so anything is possible! The 116 has a substantial rear overhang when compared together and the tail lights on the 116 are...

@JRM The older 116 gets confused sometimes with the newer variant. In the pic you'll see a tan M116A3 with weight ratings as mentioned. On the left in green is a LTT-HC which is the chassis for the 1101/1102 trailers and it has a max payload of 3025 lbs. Whennthe two are side-by-side the...
