Well for starters, my unit in army never once used a 416 quarter ton trailer behind a M1009. They did not track at all in the path made by the M1009. Our Company did not have any M416 trailers anyway. They left when the M151A2 (MUTT) left (turned in to DRMO). We were issued M101's to be...

Thank you for the info. It all sounds great but I would rather leave my M1009 Blazer stock not wanting to change over the pintle hook to a variable height hitch. I have one of those for my pickup truck so I can use the trailer for hauling wood etc.

I have an M101A2 trailer that I want to tow behind my M1009 Blazer. Because the trailer has 16" wheels and tires and a heavy surge brake on the tongue of the trailer, it tilts downward on the pintle hook lowering the rear of the Blazer. If I were to add leaf springs to the existing springs on...

Thank you for the info. I was told by an uninformed person that adding a leaf spring would interfere with the gears in the pumpkin and also the drive shaft angle and could cause other problems. I kinda thought he did not know what he was talking about. Anyway when the weather gets better...

I guess at this point in time I am s-o-l. What if I beefed up the leaf springs by adding another leaf? Would that adversely affect anything mechanically like the drive train?

The older M101 trailers had the 5 hole wheel pattern hubs on the axel even though the wheels were 16".

15" wheels/tires I would like to haul my M101A2 trailer behind my M1009 (Blazer). With the 16" wheels and tires, when hooking to the Blazer the trailer tongue tilts downwards and along with the surge brake on the tongue puts a strain on the springs/shocks on the Blazer and makes the rear of...

What is the 8 bolt pattern on the trailer? I'm trying to figure out the measurement of the 8 bolt pattern on the wheel. Then the center hub size. Thank you for the link. Hopefully I will find a fit. Harry

I'm looking to replace the 16" wheels and tires on my M101A2 3/4 ton trailer with 15" rims 8 lug holes. Anyone know where I can get the 15" rims with 8 lug holes? Please let me know. I would appreciate it very much.

Well, sounds like your relay under the dash is fried along with the starter solenoid and more than likely the fusible wiring on the under the hood firewall near the brake power booster. I don't think your alternators are fried. Your batteries should not be fried either. The starter relay...

Well guys, I took my Blazer to the radiator shop on Wednesday morning to be re-cored with a better quality brass core. I got my Blazer back late this afternoon. The new core has a lifetime warranty, parts and labor. This shop is highly recommended by the state and county for excellent work...

Dropping off Blazer this coming Wednesday. I should have it back Thursday or Friday.

Hey antennaclimber, I used that part number and got the reservoir. Like you said, a small modification: Drilled a hole in the plastic front mount, bolted the bracket to the reservoir and made sure bottom half fit in the slot and bolted bracket to the body. Perfect fit. Thank you for the...

Very nice! I like what you've done with it. Right now I have two radio tables with two fully operational RT524's and two R442's installed. I want to replace the rear bench seat with two MUTT front seats or something similar. But that is a future project.

Is that your Blazer in the pic? I like the idea of no cap in back. I would like to do something like that but have a detachable canvas/vinyl top with frame for it. I don't run my Blazer in the winter. Too much salt used here in NY state.

Oh, I almost forgot to mention...I watched this guy push down on the radiator cap with not much effort, turn it and took it off. Hunnnnnn, I'm missing something. No gunk in the coolant, nice and clean. Said the radiator has several tiny size leaks towards the bottom and sides.

I thank everyone that replied to my post for your input and advice. I took my Blazer to the local radiator repair shop today. The guy at the shop looked it over and told me that the core needs to be replaced. If I wanted to keep the original Harrison/Delphi radiator, he would take out the old...

I really don't think there is any gunk built up under the cap but I could be wrong. I've looked at the cap really close and it looks to me that there are four nubs on the radiator neck. When you turn to take off the cap, there are two short arms on the cap that that align with two of the nubs...

Thank you for the replies. I guess I will just dump the sealer in the trash like you all say to do. And yes, I was planning on installing a temperature gage and an oil pressure gage. Why change the thermostat? I havn't a clue to what all is involved in replacing a radiator nor do I have the...

Thank you for the reply. Well for starters, I did push down very hard and turned the cap and it goes only so far and wobbles but won't lift off. Secondly, I do not have $400.00 to replace radiator. It's not glob sealer, it's liquid. The only reason I put it in the Coolant reservoir is...
