A new movie, "Amerigeddon", directed by Chuck Norris' son Mike, premieres at select movie theaters across the Country on 5/12/16 and 5/13/16. (I think it will only be a one-day showing.) Preppers will love this movie about post-EMP events. Among other MV's, my tan M35A3 is in the movie and...
I would like to hire someone to fix my M934 brakes that lose air pressure...(you can hear air being released in the intake). The truck is in Arlington, TX. Thanks.
I am wiring my expansible van to be powered by external 115VAC household current via extension cords. According to the electrical schematic on the door, the 8 ceiling lights are each wired with 3 wires. They appear to be labeled on the schematic as 650, GRD-N and GRN-C. I am not an...
Greetings.
I just bought a 2010 Schutt M1101 trailer with LED clearance lights and bulb taillights. Since the LED's will run on 12v, is there such a thing as 12v bulbs that fit in the trailer taillights?
Also, the GovPlanet guy (very helpful, nice guy) said he had a buyer pick up his trailer...
Greetings! I drive my A3 all the time with no problems. It's got 8200 miles on it. Two days ago, and still today, it's decided to downshift, from all gears, at higher than normal RPM's as you slow down. It's not a major problem but makes for a jerky stop. It's the change in tranny behavior...
Hello. I'm hoping to hear from folks who have successfully installed a replacement HVAC 110v "wall type" unit into the space in an expansible van where the original units were...thanks!
It looks like the AC unit was removed from the expansible van. (It should be located between the heaters in the front recessed area, correct?) Has anyone seen these for sale and are any available? Thank you.
I have been in contact with a company filming an apocalyptic flic about a 2 hour drive south of Dallas, TX the end of JAN and early FEB. This is a low-budget project but you may have a chance to get your rig(s) in a made-for-TV-movie. They are interested in my tan deuce and 5-ton and need a...
Happy Sunday Ya'll!
After an enjoyable 3 months with my A3 deuce, I have added an M934 Expansible to the compound. The heaters are there, yet to be tested, but I'll want to eventually add AC to the van. If anyone can share their notes on this topic, I'd be most appreciative.
Thank you!
Installing a set of Truck-Lite LED blinkers on my A3 today. How do the wires match-up? The light has 4 wires: ground, green/483/484, blue491, and red 460/461. The truck has 461, 491 and 20. Do I plug 20 from the truck into green/483/484 on the light or is 20 the ground? (The original light...
I will be building a walk-in tradeshow-like booth on my new M1061A1 trailer. It might be ideal to "graft" an existing M109 or shortened M146 onto it, but I'll probably end up buiding something from scratch. Any photos of trailer customization, tips and experiences are extremely valuable and...
I just won an auction for an M1061A1 5-ton flat bed trailer. I will tow it home 200 miles with my M35A3. What tips can you offer? That trailer doesn't require the hand brake on the steering column, does it? Being a newbie deuce owner, what test(s) can I perform on my deuce to determine the...
I'm a newbie with an M35A3. The CTIC display is funtional so I optimistically believe the system to work but haven't messed with it. Is there a test sequence I can run it through? Can someone explain its operation or is there a manual? Also, one tire loses pressure over time. Can the CTIS...
What are the dimensions of the rectangular deck on the M1061A1? Are 8'W x 18.5' long correct? Does anyone have pics to share of these trailors with boxes built on top, and maybe towed by a deuce? I plan to build a "trade show booth" on top of one of these trailers with 110VAC plug-in HVAC and...
Hi. I just bought a nice M35A3 with taillight malfunction. With lights on and with lenses removed from both lights, each large, bottom bulb (1683) is burning bright with both filaments lit. Directional signals blink both filaments on the same 1683 bulbs, on-and-off. Depressing brake pedal...
