Towing isn’t the issue. Stopping and handling it is. Unless you have the correct towing truck (M35/M939), it means no brakes. The M105 is a big heavy trailer. Most vehicles do not have big enough brakes to handle the extra weight. It sits high and when hooked to most civilian vehicles it...

I would park it until it’s fixed. Are you sure it’s the axle seal and not the brake cylinder? If you’ve never touched the rear brakes, it would be a good idea to do them at the same time.

Nicely Done! Looks Great! When is the next available appointment?

Many have tried different shocks. I do not remember them all and the search function here isn’t 100%. Try it and see. It would be great to see someone find a solution that works correctly. I agree with everyone else that the shock is too expensive for what it is. At least factory parts...

Thank you for the update. It is appreciated. You are one of many that have tried to use a different, cheaper shock only to realize it will not work. The original design shock is probably so expensive because it’s the only one that will fit that surge assembly correctly. Sucks, but it is...

While the body is probably galvanized, I don’t think the leg is. I know the legs on mine are just painted steel. It might be easier to post in the parts wanted Forum for a good replacement leg. Check eBay too. I’ve seen them for sale just recently. Nothing special about welding that I’m...

Here in OKC, Tinker AFB is a Maintenance Depot for the B-52. You see them often. Awesome aircraft. Saw one a few days ago at about 2000 AGL setting up for landing at Tinker. They are big.

P That’s quite the spaghetti of wiring in that pic. Did you use regular loom or automotive loom? The latter has a thin grey stripe running the entire length of the roll. It is high heat and much more resilient to chafing. Also more expensive, but well worth it.

Good! Your still in the game! I had to deal with Insurance Companies about 10 years ago when I was hit broadside by someone who ran a red light. Luckily I was in my GMC 2500HD 4x4 and she was driving a Subaru. We were all ok but the steering wheel on truck turned quick enough upon impact that...

If you’ve already signed a insurance release and accepted the money it’s a done deal. Sure you can sue them, but they will outspend you

Plenty of custom made adapters on eBay. 4 pin or 7 pin to the Military plug. Couldn't be easier. Installed new Military taillights (the aluminum housing ones) since the original ones were trashed when I bought my M101A2’s Never touched the bulbs and their plenty bright, day or night. Assume...

Brakes are something I don’t experiment with. Of course it’s his trailer and he can do whatever he wants to rig it. But if that trailer is ever involved in a fatal crash, regardless of fault, the brakes will be closely examined. Wrong or modified part means a field day for the attorneys and...

All this trying to get around from paying for the correct shock has been covered and discussed before many times. The price is the price for the correct shock. Croft Trailer has the lowest price. Sure lots of shocks “look” close but there’s only one that’s designed to fit.

Mine did that and it was loud. It was the fuel fill door. Tweaked it a bit and it rattles no more

The trailer bucking when you apply the brakes means your shock inside the surge assembly is worn out. Easy to change but the shock isn’t cheap. The lowest price you will find is at Croft Trailer. https://www.crofttrailer.com/1844-2-hydro-act-actuator-damper-shock/ It’s a factory part. It...

Looks like your driving a rural road in Logan County, OK Worst county roads in the state.

Dexter and Redline should have springs to fit. Did you already look up the part number in the TM? That number should cross reference to a new number. If not, Just carry your good spring down to any decent trailer parts store and match it up. They can measure the old one and match it to a new...

Spell check is your friend. Assuming Inf is short for info?

The redesigned base has the fuel pressure hole removed completely. There were new filter bases/assembly's on eBay, but haven’t looked in a while. I installed a new stock assembly about three years ago. It is the new style without the pressure sensor hole. Have a second one for a spare...

Rack looks much better mounted inside. Good spot there on the left wheel well.
