    M1101 Trailer Light Problems

    The OP hasn’t chimed in since their first post. It’s probably another......post once, then they figured out the issue and never will update or even post again. Of course that helps no one.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Today I sold my my M925A2 Several reasons why, with money not on the list. I’m not getting any younger and the big parts aren’t getting any lighter. The new owner is another SS member. It’s going to a good home. I’m sad to see it go but it was time.

    Modified lunette hitch/draw bar on M101

    Looks like we bought from the same batch of trailers. Same Unit Amazing trailers for sure. I love the surge brakes. Restored brake systems on both of my M101A2’s.

    Got broken into today

    Carry a spare game camera with you. Setup where it can see whole truck. It won’t prevent a break-in, but at least you will have a picture or video of who did it and what their driving. Could have been worse. They coukd have stolen the truck itself.

    M1009 Engine woes

    Ether needs an ignition source. Cold glow plugs and cylinder compression alone will not ignite it. I wouldn’t use it, but especially not a separate shot in each cylinder. That probably would have destroyed your engine if it did light off. Just a short shot in the air intake opening if you...

    Modified lunette hitch/draw bar on M101

    Received PM and replied. Items not needed. Forgot I already have a spare assembly.

    Modified lunette hitch/draw bar on M101

    What are you doing for brakes? Are you keeping those parts or?? I’m interested in them if you don’t need them.

    Did the supply of M101A2s and 3s dry up??

    I saw those listed. Quite a few were sold. Couldn’t understand why they needed a EUC. The ones I saw listed required it. The 105 is a big trailer. Using thicker steel definitely made a difference in strength and also weight. The M101A2/3 is the best trailer the Military used.

    Need someone to assist, to repair truck ctis

    There are quite a few old threads about this issue and a few that are very detailed. I would definitely start reading. It’s very common for CTIS issues to crop up. I chased issues and troubleshooted what seemed like forever. Lots of new expensive CTIS parts and still not 100%. Now I’ve...

    GL Lost Surplus Contract

    GP 10% Auction premiums vs GL 12.5%. I doubt it’s pure profit but it adds up.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    You don’t like the color Red? You can see the camo pattern again.

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

    Smart guy driving the Impala I see. The owners thought process about terrain wasn’t working very well. Hopefully he was grateful you saved the day.

    Confirmed- Tuff Stuff D-Ring Fits

    When loaded on ship or train, the loaders tend to bend the mounts. Fronts mostly. My M1008A1 made the trip to the sandbox and back. Front mounts were chained too tight at some point and slightly bent inward. Gives it character since it was done in war service. No idea about the side...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Washed it. Plus put bows and cargo cover back on. It’s been off quite a while and truck was very dusty from county dirt roads. No mud, just dust.

    Did the supply of M101A2s and 3s dry up??

    Occasionally you can see one here and there in the background of the GP auction pics. Someday they will be auctioned off, or scrapped.

    Question regarding M1009 wheels

    I would do that in a second Thought it would be more than that. About same price for new aftermarket wheels I’m guessing. Freshly refurbished factory wheels would look great.

    What did you do to your trailer today.

    Remember, DOT will always only go by what’s on the data plate. No matter what is done to lighten it, the original weight ratings are what is used. A M101A2/3 would be a much better fit and look a lot better behind your Xterra. A trailer compatible with your vehicle and with brakes. It’s a...
