The 103/105 trailers (I believe they are the same chassis, just different body on them) are larger trailers for towing behind an air brake equipped truck, and not the best choice if you don't have a big air brake truck to tow them. They are also pretty massive overkill, and weigh about 2700 lbs...

as a short term warm weather battery they will probably do okay. They definitely won't last as long as a quality AGM battery, but as you said, it's a budget option, and I'd only use them if nothing better was available. In cold weather the output of the battery goes down and the cranking...

all I know is if you unplug the oil sending unit with it running, the gauge pegs out to max. In one of the threads I looked at, RWH said he's never seen an internal oil pressure issue when the gauges start reading funny, it's always in the sender/gauge/wiring. I haven't been too concerned...

this one? https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/swing-away-tire-carrier-dimensions.195532/

kind of a toss up between using an electric over hydraulic controller over replacing the axle. Replacing the axle lets you switch the bolt pattern to something else pretty easily (you're kind of forced to) and then you can match the tires to the tow vehicle. It also lowers the weight a little...

Finally got around to investigating this. Only seems to happen when the engine is hot. Wires at the gauge are good. Pulled the doghouse cover, and I can see oil coming out of the shell connector on the oil sending unit. Have a new one on order. I'm just glad it was something simple and obvious.

ALL M1123 are 3rd gen trucks, so same as the M998A2 trucks. All trucks of a specific series will be the same basic series, with only differences being like the pre-196900 vs post 196900 serial number engines, or the pre/post 300,000 serial number REV trucks.

it will have a couple shots in the background for the actual movie, but the promo has the only scene with it moving.

Yes, as Trailboss said, that is a slide hammer for driving/removing ground rods. MUCH safer and easier than using a sledge hammer (especially if you were the guy told to hold the ground rod while someone else swung the hammer)

yes.

nah, I got a couple hundred cash for a few hours of my time, along with food.

the HDT stuff is a little different than the rest of the ECUs the Army used. Most of it will fall under the TM for the trailer it belonged to, and include the genset as well. I believe that you are looking for either 1006310 HP-2C-185 ANA 1006314 TMSS MED Analog While I have copies of them...

So a few months back I got a call from a buddy that they needed a HMMWV for a couple scenes in a movie. As far as I can tell, it was basically just a background prop, with one short action scene of the truck pulling up fast and skidding to a halt. For as little time as it's in the movie, I was...

some related info in this thread. Post #9 shows how I do jump starts from 12V packs. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/24-volt-harbor-freight-jump-starter.205755/

if you have the old 60 amp system, you should rotate the batteries every month or so. The front battery tends to receive a little more charge than the rear, and over time that imbalance grows to the point that the front battery dies from overcharging, while the rear dies from undercharging...

UPS guy just showed up. First time this one has stopped here apparently. He started asking me about the M1102 trailer, and about the M1123. He said after he pays off his Harley a HMMWV is next on his list, though he might go for a 5 ton expando instead if he finds one decently priced, to go...

Just figure out which of the pins is positive, and which is negative. Treat it like any other DC power plug. In the BEOD, the big cables already went to the inverter,and the ends were labeled as positive/negative, so it was just verifying which pin did which polarity and wire accordingly.

I didn't worry about bleeding mine. The hydraulic clutch is a dead end system. It doesn't matter if it has any air in it.Eventually the air will bleed out on it's own, and when it does the next component in the system is the reservoir, where the fluid will have a chance to get the air out...

I don't see how shutting off accessories will do anything bad to the box. The practice of allowing a diesel truck to run several minutes at the end of a trip goes back to early turbo engines and conventional oil. Turbos get hot. That's how they work, convert heat into motion. Oil flows...
