The 1,500 lb. rule is for a trailer coach or camp trailer. I do not plan on carrying over 1,000 lbs. in our utility trailer, which would be below the 3,000 lb. limit for our 2011 M1101. On our 1988 800 lb. M116a3 we could carry much more, but we do not intend to carry over 1,000 lbs on it...

We decided to alter one M116a3 into a wood hauling trailer, and another into a trailer we will be using for pulling behind our Jeep while we do exploring. The last one will be put up for sale. We are keeping our M1101 also for general hauling.

I licensed three M116a3 trailers and one M1101 trailer. The only problem we have so far is that one trailer registration came back as a two axle trailer. I still have to work that out with DMV. One of the trailers had a duplicate vin number of some other trailer, here they did not think that it...

Where there is a will, there is a way. I added a 2 inch hitch to mine and still kept the lunette, so I could pull either way.

Very nice. If only I could weld. We have three M116a3 trailers.

For me, I found that the only way I could register our M923A2 was to show that it was a 1989 which made it 25 years old, so it would qualify for historical plates. Historical plates are exempt from smog. If it was a 1990 or newer to 2009 it would have to be smog compliant and register as a...

Who cares what others think. It is your truck and you like it. That's all that matters.

I kept the surge brake along with the lunette. I just added a new ball hitch, so I could use one or the other.

Here is our 2011 M1101 behind our Jeep, ready to go exploring.

Thanks for the kind words. What you could do, if you used shorter tires, like 30" or so, is to cut out the fenders completely, and weld in some flat stock over the missing area, leaving the area directly above the tires open for travel when you add weight to the trailer and for spring...

Our only unmodified M116A3 trailer measures 45.5 inches between fenders. A sheet of plywood measures 48 inches wide.

Here are a couple of pictures I took this morning after paint.

63 and 5/8" between fenders on our modified trailer.

I will measure tomorrow. I had it painted black. We have a M1101 and three M116a3 trailers. They all carry over one ton.

Well,,, I went to Napa and purchased a 25-080680 serpentine belt. I also checked both the tensioner and the other bearing pulley. Both were good. No play, and spun freely. I replaced the belt and all is good, no squeal. The original belt did not look that bad, but I guess it was. The belt was...

We should have the same Cummins 6CTA 8.3 engine. I will remove my belt and make sure it matches what Napa has. Thank you.

Thanks again for all your replies.

Geeze,,, I have searched the sticky's, google, etc. etc. for Napa part numbers for the belt and tensioner for our M923a2 and I get many but different numbers for the belt and no numbers for the tensioner. Is the sticky correct that the serpentine belt number is Napa NBH-080680 or another post...

Thanks for the information. I will check it out thoroughly. Thanks again.

Just started today. I sprayed belt dressing on it to no avail. Anyone else have this problem and had a fix for it?
