There are different ones out there. Matching the sender to the gauge is your best bet.
However, my A2 had a non working 300 or maybe 325 gauge in it when I picked it up. Just so I would have a reference, I put in a working 250 gauge. Thinking that it would steady down at an operating...
Let me see if I can waddle through this with the correct numbers and sizes.
The M101 and M101A1 were 3/4 ton trailers meant to be pulled behind M37 and M715 trucks. They had 5 lug rims and no braking.
The M101A2 was meant to be pulled behind the CUCV trucks, had 8 lug 1 ton hubs and surge...
Both of my Gasser M35's had tanks that looked bad. Both also were so weak that they actually broke while I was removing them from the trucks to clean. I would suggest you push and tap on the entire tank before you spend any money on it. I have a multifuel tank on my Gasser now since I...
I agree. My M715 pulls the M101 just fine. But, even with the trailer empty, I can feel it pushing me when I stop. Then I fixed the surge brakes and can't even tell its there.
A M416 is better sized for the S10.
A M101A2 with thin tires "might" work out for you. Be carefull with your...
I was talking to a guy that drove multifuels in Vietnam. He said what has already been posted here about full speed and little care for the truck. He also mentioned that his motor pool would not work on a Duece with a driveability problem. As in if it idled rough or cut out at full throttle...
Pawnshop,
I am not on my home computer so I can't back this up with the proper link. However, the application for a Texas title as a former military vehicle has a spot on the back for a picture of the vehicle with "readable" markings on it. Unless you want to put metal plates on it that is...
The 101A1 had the 5 lug M37 pattern rims and no brake. Small bucket tail lights and often only 1 hand brake for the entire trailer.
The M101A2 had 8 lug civilian 1 ton lug patterns, surge brakes, big bucket tail lights, a hand brake for each wheel and that is about all the difference.
The...
I have a barrel like that here at work Randy. I was planning to pump it through a water seperator filter into another barrel and see if it gets blacker. I will post results either way once I get around to doing it. Sorry I can't anwer your question better.
Just got my tracking number this morning. Should be here next Monday. I might have to order a spare for the spare then when I actually have money to spend.
When you have the covers off, look at the gasket surface and the bolt holes. If they look like they are bent toward the head. Turn them upside down on the edge of a wood surface. Put the round end of a ball peen hammer in the hole and whack it with another hammer. This will dimple the hole...
Carefull on the stenciling. I used stickers on the M715 and all of the Gasser except the back of the bed because I plan to swap out beds and don't want to waste the stickers. I taped 3" stencils to it and lightly sprayed paint on it. Waited 15 minutes, saw the paint had flashed and sprayed...
Yes, 5/16" on the frame, new hoses to the axles and then 1/4" on the axles themselves. Several vendors have new line sets. Well worth the price to get them all in a single box.
LBL might work for you. It isn't that far from you:

A bunch of us have taken our M715's there to play for national gatherings. Here is Spicergear and McInfantry playing in the mud in 2004. A M35 will fit on most if not all of the trails.
They work fine. They don't rub and they make the truck look a lot better in my opinion. They "could" rub the bed if you back up to a sharp incline. Or drop off a cliff too I guess. I have had no issues Here is my Gasser with 11.00-20 tires all around.
I would suggest you check the linkage to the transfer case from the shifter. Just crawl under the cab and look up. The ends have probably worn enough to cause slop and need to be adjusted. Since the cab floor stops you from pushing the handle any further, it is only evident in Low. Does the...
Sell the 2wd. Use the money you got for selling a non beat up truck to buy a 4x4 that gets lower mpg for a cheaper price. Use the extra cash to fix up the 4x4. Done in a week and you didn't even get that dirty.
I pulled both of my metal ones apart on the Gasser and got them working great. No real trick to it. Now, my A2 has the plastic ones and I don't like them. They seem to be either full speed on or making noise stuck. Go ahead and post some pictures. At least one of us will learn something we...
Do you need the air brake switch or the hydraulic brake switch? The hydraulic ones are everywhere for about $10.00. NAPA even has one for about that price. The air ones are closer to $40 and not as prevalent. I got one in the mail to me right now from OD Iron. I imagine places like Saturn...
Glad you got the air leak fixed.
Wiring is kind of an all or nothing endeavor in my opinion. The best thing to do is find a new front wiring harness. This will include everything from the plug under the drivers seat forward on the truck. Except for the 5 legged spider wire on the back of...
