I've got a similar problem with my M818 right front tire. I thought it was the tire or shock, but replaced both and still have very bad shake at 35+ mph. I'll take a photo of the NDT wear when I get home next week. I'm thinking the power steering hydraulic rod may be bad as it looks to be...

Most people talk about putting a 7.3 engine in a deuce to replace the LDT, not the other way around. That has got to be one beefed up front end to handle that weight, but I bet it had enough torque to pull those trailers easily.

I won't be back home until the 14th. I miss all the fun. :-(

Can't commit yet since I don't know where I'll be.

What you paid for the truck w/box was not far off the latest GL prices. They've gone over $4000 at auction several times lately because there are so few left. I don't believe you were taken advantage of, so don't beat yourself up. The box by itself is not all that valuable, but it can add...

Unfortunately, I'll be working in NJ or flying home that weekend, so I'll miss it. Drat! :-(

I'm gonna miss y'all. :(

Well it stopped before the red cone!:-P I wonder if a GL forklift was used to unload it from a trailer? That crankshaft sure was whipping around under there.

I'm a definite maybe, unless something comes up to prevent me coming. What time were you thinking about meeting at the south gate truck stop?

If you could wait until next May, I'll be retired and have the time. The expertise, well, not so much.

Welcome to the site and the addiction. You could buy a M105A2 trailer from Ft Polk for <200 and have 2 spares since the rims and tires are the same. The ones recently sold have had nearly new tires. If you need other parts, come to Tim's LA Rally next year in Ponchatoula. Come even if you...

No, there are still 2 at your place. I was hoping to pick them up this weekend, but I can't leave the house until we have power back after Isaac knocked it out. :sad: The hitch came in real handy as I used the tractor and one of the M105's yesterday to pick up 4 loads of limbs and branches...

Use some here, clean some up and sell them, the some will probably be parted and scraped. Two of the M105's have consecutive serial numbers to match the consecutive serial number M35A2s I have. Two other M105's go with the M109A3s, one M101A2 I'll use on the road with my pickups, 2 M101A1s...

She's happier that the weeds are gone, but not so much with all the trailers in her horse pasture. I tell her they will keep me busy when I retire next year, and I won't be pestering her so much.

It took no time at all to move the trailer horde/motorpool from one location loaded with weeds to clean location.

As my signature says, I have too many trailers. That's usually not a problem (don't ask my wife, tho), except that I have to move them to bush hog to keep the weeds down. I looked at m16ty’s tractor hitch he built...

I'd come depending on the dates, since I have to be out of state a lot. I just can't commit to a date until the last minute. If I'm in town, count me in.

It depends. I've seen mislabled horrors at GL during previews, and got good deals there with blind bids. The recent flurry of M931s sold by GL recently at ~$3K are now on Craigslist for $16K, so private sellers aren't always a good deal...

Ouch ! That brings back bad memories. The good thing is the Cummins is so rugged that the rest of the engine is probably just fine. The bad thing is that the heads, piston and liners are hard to find. I later ended up buying a second M818 just for parts in case it happened again -...
