    Trailer for the new M998 HMMWV

    Try to find a M101A3 Much better trailer for actual hard use than the M1101/2.

    M1009 (Also) Turn signal issues

    Mud = water. I would literally take apart every single connector you can and inspect, clean and apply electrical grease. Including grounds. It’s a total PITA, but necessary since the problem will not fix itself. It will get worse most likely since corrosion from moisture will take over more...

    We don’t get much snow anymore, but I would get a brush clearing attachment installed and start clearing land. I just can’t afford one. Especially a CAT. Oh well, I can dream.

    Fuel rail leak

    Look on eBay under 6.2L diesel injectors. There are hose kits using the high quality German made hose. Does not require the use of clamps. Two end caps are included. Maybe end caps available separately. Easy find and fix

    Cucv 105a2

    The M101A2/A3 was designed for the M1008/28. Surge brakes are great when maintained and is the perfect size and load for the truck. Their kinda scarce at auction now but plenty still out there privately. IMHO it’s the best trailer the military ever made. I use mine almost every day. Yes...

    smoke from steering column after new 2057 bulb in front right side

    When I was hunting down a horn issue, it turned out to be a short in the turn signal cluster. Theres a lot going on in such a small space. I would dive into column and see if anything obvious was source of smoke. Smoke rises, so the source could actually be lower in the column and just found...

    If it works with no damage to new injector, doesn’t matter the brand. I wasn’t even looking for snap-on, just looking for a good deal and lucked out. Didn’t even know they made one until I saw them listed. I do have some OTC spindle nut sockets. They are nice and well made. Wouldn’t...

    Buying New Injectors. Delphi or Bosch?

    Just an update. Truck is still running beautifully. No issues or leaks. Fuel mileage has improved along with the other benefits already noted. So much quieter at 55. Makes a fun Truck even more so when you can hear yourself think. If your on the fence about a new set, they are well worth...

    It’s been about two weeks since I installed my new Delphi injectors and hose kit. Bought from same place. Truck is running beautifully!! I bought the snap-on injector socket and it worked perfect. Wish I would have changed them as soon as I bought the truck.
