    How to disable surge brakes on trailer

    Hey guys, I have what GL listed as an m101A#, but is actually a hodge podge of A2, A3 and A1. Anyway, I use the trailer to haul light stuff mostly, behind a full sized truck. The brakes have been jumping horribly and I really just want to disable the brakes. I have heard about the lockout pin...

    Help please. Not a deuce, but I need id help

    I realize that this is not the correct forum, but I have no idea where to post my questions and was hoping you guys could help. I found this on Craigslist. The vehicle interests me, but I have no idea what it is or its worth. Can someone point me in the right direction? Military Issued Truck

    Advice for FNG with trailer M101A3

    Thanks so much guys, you have been a huge help. While I am waiting for my EUC, do you think that Ft Meade will let me come look at the trailer so I have an idea as to if I should bring a trailer in case the brakes are locked. I work on another base nearby and could get on Meade with my ID...

    Advice for FNG with trailer M101A3

    At the risk of posting a link, here it is. As you can see, they listed it as an A3, but the placard states A2. Is there a huge difference for me and assuming the brakes function, will it require much retro fitting for use as a firewood/yard work hauler...

    Advice for FNG with trailer M101A3

    Hey guys, I was hoping for some educated guesswork. I just won an auction on GL for a M101A3 trailer and am hoping to get some advice about what to expect from the trailer once my EUC gets cleared and I prepare to bring it home. The trailer is apparently a 1995 Kasel M101A3. It appears to me to...
