Proof? I wouldn’t be bragging. You were lucky to get home in one piece since that trailer can wag that little truck around without any trouble. I know the truck can pull it just fine. Handling and stopping it is a totally different issue. You can watch and be careful about distances all you...

Would definitely make me look twice.

Don't fill them full of grease and then crank the steering to the stops. Left or right or both. Pops them every time.

Have you replaced the glow plugs before? If not,’you need to. Most guys here use the ACDELCO 60Gs It could be several things, including starter. Do the Doghead relay modification if you haven’t already. Read the CUCV helpful stickies Also, a good digital multimeter is a must have item if...

Truck-Lite 3/4” LED Marker lights. Smallest DOT approved light available. Much brighter in person and especially at night. Not military, but a whole lot easier install than the Military marker lights.

The NSN search brings up Butler products as the manufacturer. This is the M1101/2 civilian equivalent, made by exact same manufacturer. No it doesn’t have the wheel, but I can live with that. You can always install one. They are made in the USA and are excellent jacks. Mine are 5k rated. Have...

He sold them all if that’s want your wanting to know. They are available commercially by same manufacturer. Only difference is the steel wheel isn’t bolted to foot.

I misread your post earlier. I thought you already had a 5 ton and were looking for a parts truck. I agree with ODFever. Would not get a 5 ton from a junkyard, with the intention of making it a driver, unless you had seriously deep pockets. 5 tons are fairly expensive to own and operate...

Considering what junkers are selling for at auction these days, if you can get it for what you can afford......Do It!!!

What about installing clearance and marker lights and reflective tape? Would help visibility a lot and look so much better than lights installed upside down. I completely understand “why” you did that, just looks weird IMHO. Unless your really close to trailer, the stock location and mounting...

The TM is in the Trailer TM/Manuals section. Dexter or Redneck have the wheel cylinders. About $24 each side. Its been a while since I initially replaced mine and don’t remember the part number. A forum search should turn it up. It’s a common commercial part and not military specific.

I buy replacement parts, needed or not, weekly. For not only the M1008A1, but all my vehicles. Starter, alternator, fuel pump, CDR valves, filters, etc and lots of smaller, yet equally important parts. A sizable investment that has already been beneficial. Drives my wife crazy until I walk...

Totally agree. My Hawkers are 90lbs each! When I rotate them, that back one is oh so much fun to deal with.

Any auto parts store will have it.

I used a can of expanding spray foam to fill the void. Trimmed flush with housing after drying and then a black silicone coating on foam surface to keep out moisture. Worked perfect and looks Factory. Your LEDs are sealed from behind so no issues. No more wasps. Yellow Jackets aren’t even...

Those LED light bars shouldn’t pull anywhere close to 70 amps.

Heavy suckers aren’t they??!!

Buy several Some day the inexpensive surplus CDR valve supply will run dry.
