I use the Wix filters. Off the shelf ones are identical to the government surplus. The surplus filters I’ve bought are also Wix. I know multiple manufacturers, including Fram, made these for the Army. Just luck of the draw. I have my MEP-002A in position and ready for the upcoming winter...

Toolslinger, thank you for a nicely written post. Easily readable using paragraphs. So many times, the long posts others post are in brick format and very difficult to read. Nicely done

Heat, hammer and Liquid Wrench penetrating oil. Lots of patience helps also.

It is Amazon has it Most parts stores carry it.

Edited to make above post readable.

Use the money savings to buy a good set of hearing protection. You’ll need it!! These sets are REALLY loud.

Took adjustable jack off a M101A2 I have and installed it on my MEP-002A generator trailer that had a standard leg jack. I didn’t want to weld on the M116A2 generator trailer and simply swapped jacks. Now I will weld on a crank jack mount on the cargo trailer and not worry about frying any...

Still listed in their catalog

Your 2 row (core) sounds like the issue to me. The original is 4 row. The 2 row simply doesn’t have the capacity to get rid of the extra heat. The original design brass/copper radiator is still available. Expensive, but available. My radiator shop had it within a few days. Was an exact...

I have heard about quite a number of the Yukons parts failing. I just bought an Eaton locker for my 98 Suburban. Stayed away from Yukon parts due to so many failing

Oiled the hood springs and door hinges. I keep the hood springs almost dripping with oil so I don’t have to worry about a bent hood. Pretty much the same with the door hinges Also oiled the tailgate. Even dumped some oil to run down into the inside cab corners. A spot that is proven to...

As already stated, hook up the coolant sensor. I replaced mine when I first bought truck. I think the new style is one wire? (Not sure, been a minute or two) Glow plugs still cycle as intended and do the afterglow once or twice after it’s started, if it’s really cold outside. Yes. 12v is...

GL starting bid was $25. They also had a warehouse in Oklahoma City I miss them also. GovPlanet closed the warehouse and started bids ridiculously high. Yet items still sell. Rumor has it someone leaked GLs bid amount (to Richie Bros) for the contract and Richie was able to win. No...

Sounds about par for the course with them. Last thing I bought they tried to do a switch. Item I was paying for was different that what I bid on. (Portable shelter in an orange crate). What I was “paying for” was the same thing, same brand and all, just a less expensive model that wasn’t...

Every trailer I bought from GovPlanet had a “Diesel tax” added. $10 I believe it was. Had to call them every time and explain that the trailers I bought do not have engines. “Whoops…..sorry” was the attitude from the staff. Same thing for my Tax Exempt status. Wonder how many people...

My M1008A1 is factory stock. Resistor system all original and works great. I run the AC60Gs Have been for almost 9 years and have had only 1 glow plug go bad after about 5 years. Part itself failed and not due to resistor failure. I did replace them all since their inexpensive enough. Only...

The ones I have seen are not able to be opened without destroying it. PM me if you need a NOS one.

So does Utah require a title and registration for that size private use trailer? A regular notarized Bill of Sale will transfer ownership unless Utah requires otherwise.

Old movies like “Strategic Air Command” are a good reference for old Air Force Military equipment and how they were painted back in the day. That particular movie shows a lot of vehicles and aviation ground support equipment. I’ve never seen a dedicated AF water buffalo either. In person or in...

I’m sure you’re aware that these trailers are not designed to dump. Yes I know it can be done as you’ve shown, but there is a part that eventually breaks and you will not find the part. I do not know off hand the name of the part. Multiple threads about that known issue.
