Is it feasible to put 1 1/2" wheel spacers on an M101A2 trailer, and trim/ move the fender wells 2" closer to the wall on each side? I would like to have 49" between the fender wells. I hate modifying stock vehicles.....would I be better off getting a M101A3 and putting the CUCV style wheels...

In your opinion, would a 16' dual axle (Electric brakes on both) 7,000 GVWR car trailer be safe for hauling a M1008? Empty weight of trailer is about 1,500 pounds. Would a K2500 6.5 diesel Suburban be able to safely handle the load without damage to engine or trans? The Suburban is in good...

My M101A2 trailer has in the serial number part of the tag a four digit number followed by US ARMY NWOM 9C 1214 US ARMY NWOM 9C When I apply for the SF97, should I just use 1214 as the number, or include all of the characters in the VIN box? I ask because I don't want to show up at DMV and...

Searched for this info, but couldn't find it. I have to bring home a M101A2 trailer. I just bought a pintle hitch for my receiver hitch. At Tractor supply, they had several different types. I bought the less expensive. It says it will handle a 2" to 3" I.D. ring with 1 1/4" to 1 5/8"...

We have had a pretty good cold snap here in CT. My 6.5 Suburban has not been happy. But the old M1008 started every day, although it took some cranking. So I used a meter to test resistance on my glow plugs in the truck. Put one lead on the spade, one on the block. I found four that showed as...

What a truck! It started today at 16 degrees. Granted, it took a little cranking, but it started. I had to take it in to work because the 6.5 Suburban wouldn't start. I checked the glow plugs in the M1008 with a meeter tonight, and I quit after I found 4 with no resistance. And still the old...

I followed the TM to see what causes my GEN 2 light to stay on dimly when engine running. Ran the tests: Driver side Alternator putting out 14.7 volts at idle. Passenger side alternator putting out 30.1 volts at idle. Rear battery reads 15.3 volts. Front battery reads 14.7 volts. My voltmeter...

After a few unregistered 'short hops' around the area to cure my need to drive it, I finally got the M1008 registered today. Why? On a really cold day it starts better than my 6.5. Now that I was taking a legal drive, I could focus on other things besides the rear view mirror. Lots to notice...

Just wondering if anyone has experience with these glow plugs advertised on the 'Bay? Thoughts? Thanks. 6.2 L Diesel CUCV M1008 M1009 K30 K5 Glow Plugs NEW - eBay (item 110613401589 end time Dec-18-10 08:23:16 PST)

Hello all, I have a 1950's military 5K generator model JHGW5A powered by a Hercules ZXAER 4 cylinder gas engine. I need to replace a broken head stud, and also need a head gasket. I have not been able to locate a head gasket. Any known sources where I could buy a head gasket? Also, the head...

Is there anyone that transports from Florida to CT that would like to add a Harley chopper rolling chassis to their load for a charge? Thanks.

Which would it be? M1008 or M1009? I like my M1008, but it is limited in traveling modern highways by the road speed. It is strong as an ox though. An M1009 can cruise at 65 so I have read. An M1009 is not a heavy hauling vehicle, but holds more people, and has some room inside for stuff. I...

Not on my M1008, but my old Ford F150 4x4. I was driving along, and came to a curve in the road. I went to turn, and it felt like my steering got stuck and the truck wanted to keep going straight. Then, it felt like something 'let go' and the truck turned into the curve. It really felt like a...

I was driving to a woodworker supply place Monday night 11-29-2010, and on Rte 84 in Hartford CT in the westbound lane was a tractor-trailer with a flatbed trailer, hauling a nice looking M1009. Anybody on here own it? I took it as a sign..... I have been wanting an M1009, and thinking about...

I have a strange click in my dash, and it sounds like a relay. Today I started the truck, and drove around the hay field, listening to it click (Bumps seem to aggravate it, smooth road gives no click). I reached under the dash and pulled out one relay at a time, test drove it, and still had a...

Happy day, I just won a M101A2 trailer to use with my M1008. It is in Picatinny NJ. Would there be anyone in the area that could assist me in getting it onto my trailer when the time comes? I envision putting it upside down on my 5x8 landscaping trailer (Which can easily handle the weight)...

I don't know if this is the best place for this post, but I just won a M101A2 trailer to use with my M1008. It is in Picatinny NJ. Would there be anyone in the area that could assist me in getting it onto my trailer when the time comes? I envision putting it upside down on my 5x8 landscaping...

I have been driving my M1008 around the hay meadow to gather stones for a stone wall. When I hit bumps, I feel like I am going right through the seat foam down to the seat frame. I looked under the seat, and see an assortment of cheap thin foam stuffed in there. It appears that the original foam...

I will be trying for an M101A2 trailer before winter. I won't have tags to tow it home. My only trailer at this time is a 5x8 open trailer with 3,500# axle. If I go to pick up the M101A2, with a good jack and a good come-along, heavy duty straps, and tools, would I be able to somehow get it up...
