    Bought used M1102 trailer, (was) missing serial or VIN.

    Bought used M1102 trailer, (was) missing serial or VIN.

    You are in a tough spot my friend. As they stated you can't prove it's your trailer. Did the previous owner have it on the street with a tag? Only thing I can think of is maybe you can register it as a homebuilt? Good luck. Mark

    Can a bad Glow Plug box stop your alternator from charging?

    What batteries are you running and what was the voltage of the batteries before you installed them? Don't take for granted that since something is new it's free from defect. Not saying this is the cause of the problem but you have to be mythological I.e. baby steps when diagnosing. Goid luck...

    Best glow plugs

    And don't forget to put never seize on the plug threads. I like the copper never seize as it handle higher temps. Mark

    Best glow plugs

    Please don't buy any of the no name Chinese garbage. I have the Wellman and they have the part number stamped into the metal. Mark

    Cheap rock sliders on amazon

    Thank you for that answer, at that thickness it should help. Looks great by the way. Mark

    Cheap rock sliders on amazon

    What is the thickness of the steel? If it is a light gauge sheet metal it will do little if anything to protect the truck. I like the idea of these as long as the function (protect) as they should. Mark

    HMMWV (not H1) Helical Hubs oil level

    The Vampire problem comes from the internal transfer case cooling tube. When that fails then transmission fluid fills up the transfer case and pushes fluid out the breather/fording lines and the fun begins. I first found out I had a problem as the air filter housing was leaking a little...

    HMMWV (not H1) Helical Hubs oil level

    "They can be overfilled on the bench before installed on chassis." Good point ! I've delt with the infamous vampire leak and the oil would be much thinner than normal and the tranny would be low. Check your air filter housing to make sure it's dry as mine had a 1/2 qt of tranny fluid in there...

    HMMWV (not H1) Helical Hubs oil level

    Oil is dark. You remove the fill plug so air can get in there so the oil will drain out of the dain hole fast. Someone in the past over filled it. I would fill it properly and drive it. I would drive the truck for a while and then hit each of the hubs with a laser temperature gun to make sure...

    Behr Paint Jobs- Show me your MV's

    I'm a big fan of the behr paints. I'd go with the Satin as it looks better (IMHO), Dirt does not stick to it as it does with flat paints and does not show finger prints or oil smears like the flats can. Anything more than satin shows every imperfection and also shows slight waves in the hood...

    Brief Wait to Start Light Flash Only at Night?

    If you run a full cycle on the plugs when the engine is hot you will overheat the plugs. Mark

    Brief Wait to Start Light Flash Only at Night?

    I had many issues with the glow plug system. My biggest problem was a box. The main solenoid got stuck and fried the plugs. PITA. Anyway got everything sorted out and I made a very quick video on how I tested the system. Hooked up a volt meter to the pass rear glow plug (alligator clips) and...
