    M373A2 trailer pintle towing capacity

    I have looked around a bit, but can't seem to find anything in the TMs. Does anybody know the towing capacity of the pintle on the rear of the M373A2 trailer? I am trying to see if towing an M1061 with M151A2 on it is viable or not so much. Thanks all.

    Adding trailer parking brake valve to M818.

    Has anyone added a trailer parking brake valve to the dask of their M818? It looks pretty straight forward, but I usually miss out minor details that make or break my little additions. Thanks, Mik

    So I Had someone float me an idea that I think may be a better idea than replacing the whole fuel line. I plan on cutting the line (see pic #1 where my finger is). Putting a flare in the old line and putting some new line with a flare from there to the lift pump and use 2 clamps and about 4-6...

    Fuel lne from lift pump replacement

    I removed the alternator and the clamp. The line has a bend at the end nearest the fuel filter that is preventing the line from being able to be turned and pulled through from the front.

    Fuel lne from lift pump replacement

    Fuel line from lift pump replacement Hey all. Just got back into owning a CUCV (85 M1008). I have to replace the lift pump, which in itself wasn't a big deal.
