    M101a2 Breakaway brakes

    According to the schematic it’s not available. I would call Croft. They have excellent customer service and they will be able to tell you if that part is available separately, etc.

    Looking for some insight on a M1008

    Ignore Away! Wasn’t telling him what to do. Guess you missed the personal preference comments.

    Looking for some insight on a M1008

    I personally would not. I like my trucks all stock with extremely few exceptions. Now if the truck was in great, rust free condition and the seller didn’t do any permanent damage/modifications and had all the original parts.......then most likely yes. Lift kits can be taken off, etc. Wiring...

    Looking for some insight on a M1008

    At least your at the right place to ask. Welcome to the site. It makes me wonder if the seller can’t even buy a simple and readily available slave port cap, what other “simple” things were skimped on? The devil is in the details and the pics show the seller isn’t concerned about them. No...

    Looking for some insight on a M1008

    It depends what your looking for. Were you wanting all that stuff on it? I personally like mine stock and wouldn’t give that truck a second look. Look for a all stock one and do exactly what you want to it.

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

    Well it seems then that the Gates from China are a POS. You did well finding the Robertshaw ones. The Gates I just installed is already showing signs of giving up. Starting to open at 180* now. Just perfect.

    What did you do to your trailer today.

    That turned out a LOT better than I thought it would. Looks to be nice and level. Will tow much better that way I bet. Nicely Done!!

    New 1009

    Exactly A bit more expensive, but you’ll get the closest thing to OEM as you can. They do excellent work. Just don’t be in a hurry. You do get what you pay for.

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

    Installed today yet another Gates #33924 thermostat. This is the third one since I bought truck. Second one in about 2-3 weeks. They are now made in China........Shocker. Yes it’s installed correctly and is the 190 degree thermostat designed for the 6.2L Diesel application. Last one worked...

    M1101/M1102 Trailer Body Panels

    The salesman gets paid off sales totals The more the better. Company knows by the paper trail, etc everything that’s sold and to whom. If any issue, then salesman wouldn’t have agreed to sell anything. A DMV person gets paid by the hour. Whether they see 1 or 100 people a day, the pays the...

    New member, new m1008 extra battery wire?

    Welcome to Steel Soliders. As mentioned, a pic would really help. Don’t guess and possibly hook up batteries wrong!!! Lots of problems can happen.

    New 1009

    Looks great! Details!!?? At least you have a block heater installed it looks like. Unique front hitch too.

    M1101/M1102 Trailer Body Panels

    I’m kinda surprised that they even talked to you. Every manufacturer of military equipment usually will not respond, let alone sell anything, to a civilian. Doesn’t matter if the person is a veteran either. So your doing great in getting as far as you did. Recommend posting the SIlver Eagle...

    Very helpful information.

    Unicor NF2D Light Tower/Genset

    Want another one and of course the surplus supply has dried up. Portland is too far as shipping would be killer. It’s been very handy to hook up and tow around for ranch for power. Beats lifting up my other generator into the pickup/trailer bed. Having the light available when I need it has...

    What did you do to your trailer today.

    Buyer can arrange shipping. Still cheaper than a complete trailer for just the axle.
