    Is this a military trailer?

    Looks like one to me. A European version of the M101 trailer.

    cooling issues

    Use the best parts you can afford. It does make a difference and that’s a job you don’t want to do twice.

    FMTV, LMTV, M1078 Civilian Truck-lite LED Headlight Install

    Look on eBay There were both 12v only and 24v only sets on there last time I looked. Should be able to get part number off that. Every light are Truck-Lite LEDs on my M925A2 and headlights on my CUCVs. They make the best!

    Sparky in the engine bay

    Post your need in the classifieds parts wanted section. Someone will have them I bet. They also show up on eBay from time to time.

    White smoke solved!

    Injection pumps and transmissions go to the professionals, at least for me. Plenty of info in other threads as who to send it to. Been discussed quite a bit.

    Blower Motor acting weird and now truck will not crank. M1008A1

    So do I, but when first got truck from auction, was just getting parts to get it going. Didn’t want to wait days for initial ACDelco parts. First it was the cheap fuel pump. Lasted two weeks. Replaced with ACDelco and no issues since. Now the Ignition Switch. Always replace parts now...

    Blower Motor acting weird and now truck will not crank. M1008A1

    It’s fixed!!! New switch installed and it fired right up. I thought I had installed an ACDelco ignition switch when first getting truck going. I did not. It was not ACDelco but a different cheaper brand. This time I did install an ACDelco part. It fired right up and no fan issues anymore...

    Best tie down point locations for cargo control for a m101(a2) trailer

    Do the front gate modification and you’ll be all set.

    Glow plug light

    Replace the card. As mentioned, brand new improved ones are available for a good price. That’s a whole lot easier than slicing up the wiring harness.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    A large grade 8 bolt welded on and then painted to match. Not the best looking solution, but definitely strong enough. Probably cheaper than having large washers made.

    Best tie down point locations for cargo control for a m101(a2) trailer

    Looks like your ready for about any cargo. Some tan carc spraypainted on those and it will look almost factory.

    Blower Motor acting weird and now truck will not crank. M1008A1

    When it got hot, it came out of assembly just enough to stop making contact. You can see where it was arcing a bit then stopped when it could no longer make contact. Will see if new part solves issue tomorrow. Part needed replaced anyway at least.

    Blower Motor acting weird and now truck will not crank. M1008A1

    Removed ignition switch after testing a ton of stuff. That thing is so fun to get to. Power was good all the way to the ignition switch, but no 12v power going to starter relay from said switch. All fuses were triple checked and the recommended ones were swapped out with new. 12v block on...

    CUCV 24 to 12 volt conversion mess

    Both stock alternators on a stock CUCV are isolated Ground.

    CUCV 24 to 12 volt conversion mess

    Both Alternators are identical in stock CUCVs. That way it’s easier on logistics. But since yours has been messed with, who knows what is still stock or if it’s even same alternator.

    Blower Motor acting weird and now truck will not crank. M1008A1

    Suppressor had been removed before truck came to auction. The 50A is on the brown wire I believe, but don’t think it’s any issue. Will check the bottom fuse again and swap it out with a new one JIK. Same with blower motor fuse. How many fusible links are under Dash? Will be taking out...
