    Did the M818's come with other engines

    I was looking at some M818's and noticed one had the air filter on the passenger side of the truck and the engine looked different. Did any of them come with another engine besides the Cummins NHC-250?

    Rear axle continues to leak

    My left rear axle continues to leak and wash all the bearing grease out. This has been an issue since I got the truck. It was a fresh military rebuild when I picked it up and the axle was dry.

    Are m101a2's modified m101a1's?

    I have a m101a1 that I love, but I noticed a few suspension parts that are badly rusted. Time for a replacement, and I'm thinking of a newer m101a2. My question is, are the m101a2's a newer trailer than say my '67 m101a1 or are the m101a2's just modified m101a1 frames with surge brakes?

    M101a1 or m101a2 rims

    I am looking for a trailer to pull behind my 3/4 ton Suburban. I like the way the rims look on the A1's. But will i have difficulty if I need to get a flat fixed or want to buy a spare tire/rim. Would I be better off getting a A2 instead?
