There are quite a few old threads about this issue and a few that are very detailed. I would definitely start reading. It’s very common for CTIS issues to crop up. I chased issues and troubleshooted what seemed like forever. Lots of new expensive CTIS parts and still not 100%. Now I’ve...

GP 10% Auction premiums vs GL 12.5%. I doubt it’s pure profit but it adds up.

You don’t like the color Red? You can see the camo pattern again.

Definitely quite a project. Not sure I would use the word “fun”! Cool.....yes Fun......no

Smart guy driving the Impala I see. The owners thought process about terrain wasn’t working very well. Hopefully he was grateful you saved the day.

When loaded on ship or train, the loaders tend to bend the mounts. Fronts mostly. My M1008A1 made the trip to the sandbox and back. Front mounts were chained too tight at some point and slightly bent inward. Gives it character since it was done in war service. No idea about the side...

Washed it. Plus put bows and cargo cover back on. It’s been off quite a while and truck was very dusty from county dirt roads. No mud, just dust.

Occasionally you can see one here and there in the background of the GP auction pics. Someday they will be auctioned off, or scrapped.

I would do that in a second Thought it would be more than that. About same price for new aftermarket wheels I’m guessing. Freshly refurbished factory wheels would look great.

Remember, DOT will always only go by what’s on the data plate. No matter what is done to lighten it, the original weight ratings are what is used. A M101A2/3 would be a much better fit and look a lot better behind your Xterra. A trailer compatible with your vehicle and with brakes. It’s a...

Welcome to Steel Soliders Grounds will effect some lights and not others. I assume that you checked all the wiring underneath before hooking anything up. Most of these trailers had a hard life in service and were not that well maintained. I would physically refresh every ground you can...

A can of flat black spray paint will work wonders on those wheels.

Pictures very blurry, but if that’s what I think it is, someone can steal that in about 2 seconds. The original shackle pins with cotter keys, while not immune to theft, take some time and effort to remove. If that’s just a regular pin in yours, someone can have all four of them off and be...

What is the going rate these days for blasting, then powder coating a wheel?

The original M1009 wheels are kinda of a rare breed. Not easily found. I personally would spend the extra $$ to restore the original wheels instead of buying anything aftermarket.

Today I serviced my NF-2D. Changed oil and all filters. Mobil1 Delvac 10w40 and all Wix filters. Have put 62.4 hours on unit since I acquired it on 8/29/17. Starts right up every time. I do run it weekly to keep it happy. Continues to be flawless!! Still use it often. That will slow...

Well said. Exactly why I went that route.

I didn’t say it did.

Depends on who you ask. I went with a new copper/brass one since that’s what it was born with. It fit like a glove and had zero issues. Most opinions are that the original style cools better and lasts longer. So I’ve read. Lots of guys go the aluminum w/plastic tanks because it’s less...
