Has the surplus supply of these dried up? Almost nothing coming to auction lately. Figures I want one more M101A2 and a M105A3 and now selection is extremely limited to nonexistent. Wonder how many are left.

I spent the time and funds on my trailers brakes, bearings, etc when I first got them. Now they are trouble free and work perfectly and very reliable. You'll spend more time and effort removing them than it will take to fix them. Post what problems your having so we can help you fix it.

Hey, it worked! I would have done same thing.

Trailers in OK do not require a tag unless used commercially. That truck does NOT qualify as a SMV. Try it and you will end up getting stopped and your truck towed. Under Oklahoma law, former military vehicles are exempt from the weight restrictions and commercial licensing requirements. No...

Their at their life limit with a 2011 date. Definitely try a brute charge and see if they come back. Two batteries will be fine in summer, but may not be enough in the dead of winter. Quite a number of threads about it. Contact SS member 74M35A2. He might be able to help you with the pulley.

New GM throttle cables are out there. Just very hard to find. I found two NOS GM ones on eBay. $25 each.

If your M101A2/3 is loaded and you try to back up a steep driveway, the brakes will activate, if they are working properly. Thats is the reason for the hole in the side of the surge assembly. Empty and they will back up just fine. Dexter, who makes a lot of trailer stuff for the military...

You sure your tow vehicle can handle it?!

Removed radiator and took to shop. Engine and trans cooler line fittings were a breeze to remove. No O-rings were not installed and they weren't leaking. Not sure if they require them. He said it was not the original but a very good aftermarket that's no longer made. Can't remember what...

I don't have, or want a M1101/2. Not sure how to block the surge action on that series trailer. Do they have the FreeBack brakes? Can you back up a hill/driveway with it loaded and brakes don't activate?

The Warn service kits work perfectly.

I carry a rare spare GM throttle cable just for that very reason.

The larger the alternator pulley size, the slower it turns. I assume you went with a modern alternator instead of the original design. They have to turn a certain minimum rpm to charge. That's the way I understand it anyway.

It's been tested on the road and works perfect. It's at least a grade 8. Some are grade 10, but I don't have any of those. I have installed Dexter FreeBack brake system on both trailers. Allows me to back up a fully loaded trailer uphill and not activate the brakes. The pin is in case the...

Thanks! Bought a 2000 GMC savana conversion van for the trip. My wife and I, two teenage girls, son home from college and two dogs. 8 states and 4K miles. No interstates driven where possible. All back roads. Elevation from sea level (beach) to 11,000 (Rockies). Was a absolute wonderful...

Grade 8 bolt 3/8-4" Use locknut I use a aircraft pushpin

Why remove? What problems are you having? Just fix the issues and you will have great brakes. Once you repair/replace what's needed, the system will be trouble free for years. Are the brakes overkill? Maybe, but when the trailers loaded and heavy and someone pulls/steps out in front of you...

Easy fix. Croft trailers has the shock in stock. That shock isn't cheap no matter where you buy it. Would you post a pic of your hitch setup?

Just back from two week vacation and the list of things to do is long. Today I'm removing the radiator from my M1008A1. Will take it to a shop and see if it can be saved. If not, then a new one gets installed. Hopefully the cooler lines will come out easily. Ive sprayed penetrant on them...

Replace your old Alternator before it goes out and takes other components with it. Mine took out the PCB, ABS controller, and CTIS controller when it spiked and literally fried itself. Worst smelling smoke ever! I installed a brand new (not reman) Delco-Remy 33si 100A unit. Best thing I ever...
