    M1101/M1102 Trailer Body Panels

    There is structural adhesive for aluminum that, when fully cured, is stronger than the metal itself. It’s used on aircraft. I used it to patch some holes in my S-280 shelter. Stuffs amazing and unbelievably strong. Loctite H8100 I believe. Something like that. Gets you in the ballpark...

    Turn Signal Issue

    Welcome to SS Issue has been discussed many times. Suggest a search and reading. I had same issue and also a horn issue. Replaced turn signal switch with NOS GM part that I found on eBay. Solved both problems at once and lever solidly clicks and lever isn’t sloppy. The Cheap off brand...

    My resistor can't be bad!?

    PLEASE use paragraphs. It’s like reading a brick. Most guys use AC60Gs here Others use the AC13Gs. Few use Bosch. Either works. I wouldn’t bother with speciality/off brands. Too many unknowns. Stay away from Wellmans. Check all your connections all the way down to the GP tab. Each and...

    M1009 Engine woes

    You don’t realize how much the old starter has slowed down until you install a new/rebuilt one. Night and Day

    Did the supply of M101A2s and 3s dry up??

    I knew it was 4K!! Hard to convey the humorous tone I meant via text. Someday I’ll start on a camper build on my second M101A2. Yea.......Someday.

    Do you mean $400 or $4K. Those wheels look good with the black theme. Nice base camp

    Photo of CUCV makes National News

    So what. Maybe not current like I thought, but still doing immigration duty on the border. Still very cool and still a CUCV photo on a national news story today. Billions upon billions spent for Military hardware back then and the good ole CUCV still making a difference. 2007 or...

    M1009 CUCV serves on the front line of the current immigration war. I think that’s really cool.

    Modified lunette hitch/draw bar on M101

    I’m still kicking myself for not buying more. Both of mine were from same unit. Both from RRAD Mine didn’t even blink with 2 tons of gravel in it. Workhorses for sure!

    Looks like this M1009 CUCV is still being actively used.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Oh yes! It’s still in long term storage with the other M1008A1. Those are for my daughters. It’s between them on who gets which one.

    M1101 Trailer Light Problems

    The OP hasn’t chimed in since their first post. It’s probably another......post once, then they figured out the issue and never will update or even post again. Of course that helps no one.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Today I sold my my M925A2 Several reasons why, with money not on the list. I’m not getting any younger and the big parts aren’t getting any lighter. The new owner is another SS member. It’s going to a good home. I’m sad to see it go but it was time.

    Modified lunette hitch/draw bar on M101

    Looks like we bought from the same batch of trailers. Same Unit Amazing trailers for sure. I love the surge brakes. Restored brake systems on both of my M101A2’s.

    Got broken into today

    Carry a spare game camera with you. Setup where it can see whole truck. It won’t prevent a break-in, but at least you will have a picture or video of who did it and what their driving. Could have been worse. They coukd have stolen the truck itself.

    M1009 Engine woes

    Ether needs an ignition source. Cold glow plugs and cylinder compression alone will not ignite it. I wouldn’t use it, but especially not a separate shot in each cylinder. That probably would have destroyed your engine if it did light off. Just a short shot in the air intake opening if you...

    Received PM and replied. Items not needed. Forgot I already have a spare assembly.

    Modified lunette hitch/draw bar on M101

    What are you doing for brakes? Are you keeping those parts or?? I’m interested in them if you don’t need them.

    Did the supply of M101A2s and 3s dry up??

    I saw those listed. Quite a few were sold. Couldn’t understand why they needed a EUC. The ones I saw listed required it. The 105 is a big trailer. Using thicker steel definitely made a difference in strength and also weight. The M101A2/3 is the best trailer the Military used.
