Most guys use the Solargizer battery maintainers, including me. Military issue and very dependable. They work great. Available on eBay. I have them on every MV I own. Genset/light tower also. Lots of threads about them

That won’t do it. Needs to be at Hwy pressure and on pavement at speed. This heats up the tires and will help even them out. Works wonders

I just tapped into the oil sample port and it works like a charm. No delay and no oil in cab. AutoMeter Setup

Definitely also look at whatever else was added to the factory wiring. Who knows what else you’ll find to fix.

Looks like a new hub behind the wheel with the obviously new lugs. I’ve never used Lucas Hub oil before.

What about calling Memphis Equipment and asking about trading it for/towards a M101A2? A SS member was just there and posted some pics from the visit in another forum section. There were several M101 series in their sale lot. Worth a try

With the spring that’s already in there, would it be too much force and not activate brakes as it should?

Looks like a nice trailer. Fiberglass panels and metal bows is a plus. With that truck, a M101A2/3 will be a much better trailer for you. Especially with the weight. Will look correct too as the M105A2 is big for that truck. I don’t think you will any problems in selling it.

Did you ever get a replacement shock?

Assumption is the Mother of all *uckups. I always assumed and never physically checked the trailer plug voltage. Military trailer plugs in, gotta be 24v right?!.........wrong!!! Boy do I feel like an idiot. Crow tastes terrible BTW.

Stumbled across it on eBay while looking for a new shock. Was getting ready to order a new shock from Croft and wanted to do one more search. I searched using “surge brake” and there it was. It wasn’t listed as for the M101A2/3. Very happy as this is a $400+ Unit. I got it for less than...

I lucked out and found a NOS assembly for not much more than a new shock by itself. It arrived today. Will install next week on tan M101A2 Good timing as a new well house is heavier than it looks.

Have you ever replaced the lift pump or fuel filter? Replaced all the old rubber fuel lines? Added anything in tank to help get rid of any water? Fuel sock? Some guys have bypassed everything and just ran a line from fuel jug to the IP to get it started. Some background on your truck and what...

Welcome. It usually takes on average about $1500 - $2000 to get them going and be reasonably reliable. Yours is already running snd driving so your money ahead!! They are fairly easy to work on. Tons of experience and help from guys on Steel Soldiers. 95% of issues have already been...

I use 1 quart per 20 gallons. One bottle of seafoam per 20 gallons. Same for my M1008A1, which gets a solid 20mpg hwy. Am I Using too much or too little? Doesn't matter since that’s what works great for me.

Combined. Does really well. Am very vigilant about my additives.

I would sell and then find a M101A2/3 Call Memphis Equipment and see about a trade? I bet they have several M101 series.

I see the surge brake assembly is gone. Did you know you can buy an pintle adapter to fit a 2” ball and keep the brakes? Or what many others have done, get a riser and pintle receiver. Adding a bumper, spare tire carrier, wheel (ie..weight) to the back of trailer? Thats a lot of weight at...

Well I’m not infallible. I have not checked with meter Will today. Assumption is evil.

Maybe run some sea-foam injector cleaner and two-cycle oil added to tank. That’s my combo and I get a solid 10 mpg all day long. When I have 6-8 tons of gravel in back it’s about 7-8 mpg. I don’t drive over 55. In my 5 ton that’s fast enough for me.
