    What did you do to your trailer today.

    I hooked up my tan M101A2 and moved it about 400 feet. It’s full with a set of HMMWV wheels/tires that I’m trying to sell and needed it out from under trees. Haven’t used it much lately. Will be painting the tan one once the temps cool down a bit.

    M101 rusted lever, manual control - repair

    Brand new ones are impossible to find so do what you can to free it up. I have not used a torch or taken it apart. Doesn’t look like you can without needing replacement parts. I soaked mine in penetrating oil with some success. Luckily the adjustments on all of them were already very close...

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    I use FreshCab Have had extremely good luck with it. The one place I didn’t put it was my M925A2 battery box. Didn’t even think about it. To me it was “sealed”. Cab mice free.....battery box no. The mice came through the cable hole at the bottom. New owner found it. Most farm and ranch...

    You clearly do not know Oklahoma Law.

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    Very easy to do. Key or not makes zero difference. Experienced thief’s can take your truck in less than a minute. I live in Oklahoma and am in a nice part. Leave the keys in it all the time........at HOME. If someone walks up my 1/4 mile driveway to steal something, then they will leave...

    It will come in handy.

    Cut the lock off since no key or cut chain off? Cheap insurance since it takes less than a minute to steal one of these Trucks.

    That looks like a long weekend of tracing wires.

    M1009 headlight options?

    Don’t forget to use dielectric grease on the connections. Really helps prevent corrosion. Should be a packet included in each headlight box.

    New M1009, stuck starter, replaced with DH relay, won't start

    Wrong. I’ve ordered them. 5 or 6 come in one box. Its been discussed on SS. Others have ordered same part and received multiple bolts in one box as well.

    M1102 missing brake parts

    Surge brakes are great. They do make a difference on a loaded or unloaded trailer. Always amazes me on how many guys that recommend no brakes on a trailer. They don’t fix the surge system or remove it entirely. Once it’s properly brought back to life, it will be years before any real...

    New M1009, stuck starter, replaced with DH relay, won't start

    ACDelco still makes the correct starter bolts. The are one time use and not expensive. Price is for a box of 5 or 6 bolts

    Correct.

    eBay has it also. Excellent stuff. Used it on the floor of my 5 tons, then stock floor paddling on top of that. Zero rust issues and the soft tops on the 5 tons always leaked. Even when brand new.

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    This is the stuff I use. Benefits of being in aviation. Creeps extremely well into all the nooks and crannies. Sprayed it all inside CUCV cab floor and corners and just refreshed a few months ago. I use it on my M101A2 trailers and pretty much everything. Never worry about rust again...

    Injection pump leaking fuel into "valley" M1008

    You could run it a bit, get it to normal temps a lot and maybe the seals will expand and dry up since it had been sitting. A rebuild is probably due as mentioned.

    Padding and Carpet?! Ok Rust will soon follow.

    New trailer added to my collection

    That does make a difference. No sense beating up a undamaged one.
