    Maintenance questions

    GL-1 is what is specified, you will be fine. If the 105 is going to be empty, I wouldn't bother with opening the valves for brake service. If there are relay valve issues, you might have brake drag issues.

    M108 deuce wrecker engine swap

    Looks like a tongue from a 105 attached to the frame.

    M108 deuce wrecker engine swap

    Short high jack then back to the regularly scheduled program. I remember the surprise I got pulling the engine out of my M108. I strung a chain between trees and dropped a chain call. Anyways, I pulled it with the trans attached. As I rolled the truck back Inwas greeted by a winch PTO that...

    M108 deuce wrecker engine swap

    Reenforced frame and lockout bars on the rear springs was my main reason....and the logistics of moving an 8000# body.

    Weird Recovery : Generator Trailer ???

    That box is off a 6217, M726 Chassis truck. Nice if it isn't too chewed up.

    Deuce Bobbing question

    Let me be the first to welcome you to Steel Soldiers. I'm sure there will be some folks stepping up shortly on your request. If you will, please change your location from US to your state of residence, this is one of the site requirements. Good luck with your new project.

    modifying a M116a3

    Let me try to brave the rain in the AM and get pics of my project. Basically it's an M116A3 and a steel topper. I plan to bridge the distance between the steel topper and the trailer bed with lumber. Should be an interesting and low buck project.

    30D36R Wisconsin Robin Generator

    I have the manuals for it. I have a parts set in one of the trailers but it has either a bad injecor or pump. Can't recall.

    Glide-out spare tire carrier...

    One thing to be.aware of. The disc that goes through the rim comes in different sizes. Make certain that the one you buy fits your rims.

    Generator trailer tongue jack

    I've not found a single dependable source. They show up here in the classifieds from time to time and on ebay. EBay prices vary wildly, sometimes $250 and others $25.

    GL has raised Buyer's Premium to 12.5!

    I would caution folks to check each auction they look at. Found one the other day that was 16%. I guess it's random.

    Glide-out spare tire carrier...

    It might be easier to retrofit one of the hoist type lifts that current stuff has. I've bought a few from yards for under $10. The glide outs don't glide out too well, or at least they don't glide in very well.

    The way it should have been

    Now that I don't have any CUCVs with pickup beds and I sold all my M101 racks and tarps, you come up with this. I think it's perfect and agree, the way it should have been. Much better than the factory stuff for sure. I'd be tempted to shorten the bows another inch or two.

    disassembling an M101A2

    It's amazing what can be accomplished with a little resource management. I went to Baxley GA to pick up a Dodge M887. The contact body was not on the truck when I got there. With patience and time the seller and I were able to put it on the truck with blocks, 4x4s and an old 60's era bumper...

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

    Absolutely beautiful Drew. That's much better than the factory stuff!

    What fuel for 404?

    Does Cananda put methanol in their gasoline? All pump gas in the US has methanol. There is a fuel called REC90 that is ethanol free. It's used for small equipment and such. All of my carts and small equipment run nothing but this REC90. If your fuel supply has methanol, look for this type...

    M1009 Brake Caliper Problems

    They only offer that one caliper. Obviously there is an issue with the cores they are rebuilding. I have never had an issue such as you post.
