That’s a big, heavy trailer with useless air brakes unless you have a M35/M939 series. Towing is the easy part. Stopping, especially panic stop, is the issue. Ever heard of the tail wagging the dog?

Watching the boat ramp action is a lake ritual. Lake Havasu's AZ public boat ramp is a blast to watch. Any busy lake ramp actually. It’s amazing how many people can not backup a trailer or unload/load a boat., or even remove trailer tie down straps before entering water. Forgetting to...

When was the last time it ran? What makes you think it’s an injection pump issue? As mentioned above, whatever you bring along with you will not be the problem. There are so many variables and possible causes. You can easily transport a GP controller card, glow plugs, GP relay, fuel...

Your M101A2 is worth far more than a M105A2 in equal condition.

Yes Teacher. If I ever need to know how to take an all stock cucv and do modifications to lessen it’s value.......you’ll be the first I contact.

Murphy’s Law: If you trailer it home, the bearings, etc. will be found to be in excellent condition and you could have towed it home no sweat. If you towed it home, a bearing and/or tire would have failed at the worst possible time and leave you scrambling to find parts/tires and having to...

Uhaul has trailers without sides for hauling cars. Whichever company that has a flat trailer will work. I think it’s smart to trailer it home. Who knows what condition the bearings are in.

If It was an hour or two away, I might agree. But a 13 hour trip with an unknown trailer......? Very smart to trailer it home.

The copper/brass radiator I installed was identical to the old one. Everything hooked up with zero issues. Truck stays nice and cool no matter outside temp. Running a 190* thermostat and original 5 blade fan. Only trailers I tow are the M101A2’s. Usually their not loaded heavy, but...

Sounds easy. I’ll never do it, but good to know wiring doesn’t need hacked up.

That looks like it will fit on a uhaul trailer just fine. Easy enough to measure rental trailer width and then look up specs for MV trailer.

Ok It depends on if you want to hack into the stock wiring. I don’t want too, no matter how cheap and easy it is and actually have three brand new spare GP cards. Original one that came with truck is still working perfectly. It’s an investment in the truck. Now if I were on a tight...

It all depends on what PSI of concrete they poured. Most home driveways are probably in the 3500-4000 psi range. 4” is the usual thickness. The PSI can go over 6000, but.....as with anything, it costs more. I specified 6000 PSI (prestressed) in my new home + shop build. Higher inital...

Here are the manufacturers of my two M101A2’s. Not sure how many different ones there are.

I use the chain through the steering wheel all the time. Sure it can be defeated easily, but it takes time. Bolt cutters aren’t the most easily concealed item. Usually, Crooks hate taking a lot of time to steal something. Most thieves will not be initially prepared for cutting the...

I misread your original post. You already know the make and s/n. Guess I need more sleep. If you post most of the s/n, guys here can narrow it down very well. My two are a year apart in manufacture, but completely different makers and s/n’s. Both came from same army unit. With the...

If it’s not legible on the data plate, then it most likely will not be on the SF97. The missing/not legible serial number information is usually stated up front, in the item description. Makes it harder to export if it’s missing or impossible to read. Have you called the auction company and...

Theft problem solved means it doesn’t get stolen in the first place. LoJack shows where the vehicle is. The condition that it will be in is anyone’s guess. Recovery of a stolen vehicle is rarely a 100% happy ending. Crashed, submerged, parts stripped, burned, vandalized (busted windows...

Now that is a maintenance nightmare.......

That is awesome! Looks great. Happy to see the parts saved instead of going to the scrap pile. Big Radials are the best sounding engines ever!!
