Trailered home another trailer
M116A2 with a MEP-002A on top
It’s missing a few lug nuts and has the wrong size tires.
Normal paint peeling and busted tail lights. One from me.
The brake levers work at least.
A good power wash and a repaint will do wonders. New tires ordered.
Generator...
At least you realized the issue in time and no harm no foul.
There are plenty of YouTube videos that show people who aren’t as aware and fortunate to understand the problem.
Usually ending in disaster.
I am grateful that you posted this.
M149A1/2 Water Trailer
Resealed the lower tank hatch gasket.
Sterilized the tank, flushed everything and filled up with clean well water.
Now I have 400 gallons of fresh clean water when needed.
Safety wired the latches and hinge to prevent tampering.
Optima Red
I have them in everything except my M1008A1 and it has a new set of Hawkers.
Just installed an Optima Red in a mint 1998 Suburban K1500 I just picked up.
Have Optima Blue in my Airstream.
Optima makes an adapter plate that has the same footprint as the Hawkers and also elevates it...
Post in the parts wanted forum for the crank handle.
One will turn up most likely.
If not, I can send pictures of mine so you can fabricate one.
They didn’t make a ton of these so it might take a while to show up.
I would stop using it until the fluid and filter are changed.
See if any surprises are at the bottom of the pan and fluid color and smell.
Clearly something is wrong.
Could be as simple as it was low on fluid and needed a filter change.
Be prepared for the worst.
These transmissions are...
Installed new shoes.
Cooper AT3s
They hold up extremely well to rocks and gravel, which I drive on daily.
Replaced leaking steering stabilizer shock with another ACDelco part. It lasted 8 years.
Kingpins are still nice and tight
Greased front end.
Also replaced a seeping injector return line...
Mine is used for much more than I ever thought it would be.
I didn’t realize just how handy these are until I bought one.
If I ever find another good deal on one I’m getting it.
