Pulling a 105 trailer with M1008

[Bighurt]

I move mine with my F350 all the time, don't even notice it back there when stopping with a load.

It's not the preferred method but it works.

I much rather pull it with the M915 or M35. But with more trailers than trucks...sometimes I have to make do with what I have.

If you are trying for a permanent pair, try and find a M101 or convert the 105 axle.

Don't forget about the spare (or two, not every place will fix them) 9.00x20 tire(s) you'll need to carry with you. Wayne

The M105 has air over hydraulic brakes so you could modify the trailer with the coupler/actuatior from a M105A3, M101A2/A3 trailer and make the brakes work.

The other option is to plumb the truck for air brakes

Buy a Dexter electric / hydro. drum brake actuator. Look at Trailer Parts Superstore.

This sounds like a good idea, but the Dexter is like 700 smackers, lookin for a cheaper option.

Welcome to any ideas, there has got to be some trailer or vehicle out there I could rob from at the junkyard that could be made to work I would think.

I am buying a 101a2 but would like to use the 105 as well,
