    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    Watch eBay. I found a NOS complete set of GM injector lines on eBay just over a year ago. Very good price. Haven't used them yet, but at least I have them. My spare 6.2L Diesel that’s still in the shipping can also has an undamaged set attached. Aftermarket lines are available. At least...

    M116A3 Fix-up & Conversion Thread

    Dexter and Redline still offer brand new brake rebuild kits. It’s a Dexter axle. No need for a truck brake parts kit since exact replacement kits are available. Any decent trailer parts store should have the parts.

    Master Cylinder Differences for M101 Surge Brakes

    Original cap was smashed when I picked it up at Red River Army Depot. Still did not leak. The hose vent ones usually break off, allowing water inside.

    Master Cylinder Differences for M101 Surge Brakes

    Standby I will walk down and check the opening size Edit; The opening on my replacement cylinder, with a new hat cap ( 2+ years ago) is 1 5/8” The hat cap should fit yours just fine.

    M105 Stakes for M101A2?

    New Surplus metal bows for the M101A2/3 are still available. Lighter, stronger and will not warp. Prices have gone up on them (and everything else), but are worth it in the long run.

    M116A3 Fix-up & Conversion Thread

    Once you get the surge brake system in shape, they work great and last for years without major maintenance. The hole is to lock out the brakes while backing up a loaded M101A2/3 trailer. Dexter, also a military supplier, makes a FreeBack brake replacement. Very easy install. It allows...

    Master Cylinder Differences for M101 Surge Brakes

    Zed254 is correct. The surplus hat caps were cheap and plentiful on eBay two plus years ago I’ve been using them on both my trailers with zero issues. No moisture, No corrosion and brakes work perfect. Plus it looks better than a hose hanging down in my opinion.

    Valence's 1997 Pribbs M101A3

    Without bushings? Then it’s not the same shock. Post the link. If anyone wants the exact, correct shock to install, the Croft price is the lowest price. Several different shocks look like they might fit, but the surge assembly accepts only one. This has been discussed in depth before.

    Valence's 1997 Pribbs M101A3

    Yea, that was 2014. Now their expensive. Croft was the least expensive of all other sellers when I researched prices about a year ago.

    Valence's 1997 Pribbs M101A3

    Good score! Too bad you couldn’t keep the one you sold. Really nice that you know where it’s last assignment was. I’m sure you already know that Croft Trailer has all the factory parts for the surge assembly. They also have the best price on the shock. www.crofttrailer.com Great prices and...
