I added Bearing Buddies and a GM wheel set to my 101A3...Zero issues. The wheel will act as a heat sink for the hub and drum. If you're worried about heat, just feel the wheel the hub. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

I'm with Guy as big power warrants big respect which generally translates as fear within me. I have much respect and admire the ingenuity and simplicity of the brine setup, tho I'm just not that brave. I really like the Comfort Zone 220v 5KW shop heater that retails for $100 from multiple...

In my experience with these GM platforms (Squarebodys and RVs are remarkable siblings) has been one of 2 problems every time...first culprit is the starter solenoid can get stuck in the closed position...second is there's a plethora of parts in the column that can fail prematurely and cause the...

The cables for these trailers are like hen's teeth! I got lucky to find an axle assembly a guy was discarding from an overland conversion build. The handles were difficult as well until a couple months ago a SS member found a manufacturer for the more recent version, I recall the price being...

The box of brake parts goodies were sourced from the manufacturer Mendenhall Industries directly via their "contact me" link on their website. Their owner called me. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

@CallMeColt might you have an illustrated version you can share? Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

This! All of this! I will def be taking this route, good call. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

Future plans include but are not limited to the following: -Oil change and filter with fresh JD break-in oil (it still has its factory break-in oil and all filters are still painted green) -Coolant flush and fill with Caterpillar HD coolant -Pump/drain the old remaining Diesel, fill with fresh...

Mulligan! Round 2 had me adding tank cleaner and biocide to the mostly full tank. I tightened the smaller fuel filter housing as it had a slow-dripping leak. This time has us running on 100' 50A 6/3 8/1 generator cord to 50A spider box. Gun 1200 13.5% Toaster 1200 26% Shop heat 1500 45%...

Enter commencement of shenanagains: 1) used the aux fuel line to suck some fresh diesel out of my Kerosene heater, hoping to dilute down some of the old nasty. System worked flawlessly. Still dark, but now I can see to the bottom. (Still smells pungent) 2) set gen to 120v. Broke out my 30A...

Been some time I've been wanting a sibling set of 802 and 803 units mounted on 116A3 trailers...the 802 being most desired ATM. (Last summer I brought home an unmolested 101A3, it needed some TLC so now I have spare parts for both trailers.) Back in Oct of '20 I found this 802 in Phoenix when...

Ahh, yes...a little rooting around reminded me it was some of the trailers that had 24v lighting. Mah bad. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

Wasn't there also some 24v stuff going to the rear bumper for the trailer lighting? Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

I've learned the hard way with these, and our FD's CUCV has been modified so that adds a degree of difficulty for me as well. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

Isn't the lighting system a 12v system? I understood that the only parts of the CUCV that were 24v were the things added to meet NATO standards like the slave cable port and communication stuff? Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

If you can post a picture of your axle we can easily see if it's the original axle. The A3 axle is unique to that model. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

There should be a data plate on the front of the box on the left side. There's another data plate on the left side tongue. If not all the specs are in the TM (technical manual) available to download on this forum. Those specs are also summarized on the link below. Welcome...

Standard sizing "should" play. There's a marginal difference with rubber stems depending on the pressure you'll run. Discount will throw one in it for ya. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

@Guyfang he hasn't bought it yet...he's just going off what he was told before he road trips to go look at it. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

The boys might correct me, but it sounds to me like it's a government purchase civvy K5 Blazer instead of a CUCV and they added the converter since there's only the single voltage electrical system. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk
