I’ve used mine down to -6 and no issues.
Some snow, but we don’t get much snow down here anymore.
Have read some guys have had issues and most do not.
Depends on that particular snowfall.
TruckLite does make several styles with heated lenses.
I’ve been in snow that sticks like glue and...
Nice score!
I bet it’s fun backing that small trailer up.
I could use that for my concrete mixer and make it mobile.
There is a company online who recreates original data plates.
Been discussed on SS but can’t remember who it is now.
Ebay has trailer data plates, but mostly for more common...
Zero rustproofing and daily driving on salted roads, Much Sooner than later.
Depends on if you rinse off truck after each trip and how well you do it.
Unlikely if temps are at or below freezing.
Having an unprotected truck covered in white road salt spray for an extended period of time, I...
Mine all work. Just want new ones.
Rust has seized two of the adjusters.
In the correct position thank goodness.
If I had a spare, I could take one apart and see if it could be refurbished and reassembled.
If you don’t drive it often, I would keep tank topped off.

The more airspace in tank, the more water buildup.
SeaFoam also removes water from fuel system.

When you refuel next, add another can.
Then a can about every other tank or so.
Everyone has their own preference for fuel additives, but I’ve had excellent results from using SeaFoam.
It simply works.
I use it in everything I own...
This was taken directly from the M101 series trailer TM.
Both of my M101A2 trailers use this exact style lever.
Some levers on eBay are close, but not exact.
Wrong one I believe.
The M101A2 brake lever has a pulley attached for the cable.
This one does not have it.
Typical Saturn Surplus..........Sky high shipping
A can or two of seafoam will help a LOT.
Cleans dirty injectors and keeps system happy.
The eBay covers are surplus originals
I paid $100 shipped for the reproduction.
Its very well made.
Get the Military reproduction grill cover.
It works great and is easy to put on and take off as the temps change.
I can’t remember the name of the company that makes them, but someone will chime in with it I bet.
