    M101A2-A3. Best Overall Military Trailer Ever??

    Another great example of their usefulness. Im looking for an S-250 for the same thing.

    Resto work in DFW

    It's a great truck Its not a "true" cucv, but so what. I agree that it is a much rarer truck than a M1009 Plus, that paint looks great when new and maybe you can bring yours back. There's a pic on this site somewhere where there were several deuces and CUCVs painted that color. It was taken...

    M1008 not starting

    Yes forgot about fast Idle Mine kicks in even in summer. When we first brought my M1008A1 back to life after years of sitting, after replacing/repairing lots of things, it would not start. Cranked like a monster and had fuel, etc. New GPs, the whole bit. Finally remembered to depress...

    M101A2-A3. Best Overall Military Trailer Ever??

    The M101A2/3's and M939's are still around, just coming out at a slow trickle. Plus the demil change on the 5 tons. The flood of them is definitely over. You won a nice trailer today. Your gonna love it. They aren't making anymore, so buy what you can.

    M1008 not starting

    Neither do I, but since it's not running and all the things done to it so far, he might want to follow the GM recommend starting procedure.

    M101A2-A3. Best Overall Military Trailer Ever??

    M1008 not starting

    Are you stepping on accelerator pedal as recommended in the manual? If you don't, it will not start like a more modern Diesel.

    M101A2-A3. Best Overall Military Trailer Ever??

    I'm looking for a third one to do something very similar. Also have a 06 GMC 2500HD and would be using that to pull it with. Already have two matching truck wheels for it. Will be normal paint and hitch, All led lights to current DOT standards, etc. You and others have come up with some...

    M116A3 Brake Problems

    A pic would help. Good luck on parts as they are scarce. Thousands were built, but most surplus parts are hard to find.

    Safest top speed for M1102 with canvas ?

    It all depends on the condition of the cover. Its very easy to take it off and fold it up. Plus your fuel mileage will thank you for it. Its a barn door at highway speed. 65-70

    M101A2-A3. Best Overall Military Trailer Ever??

    Yea, the days of the $150-200 surplus M101A2's are gone forever.

    M101A2-A3. Best Overall Military Trailer Ever??

    I bet they (M416) are handy trailers. They look it. Too small for my needs, but I would like to have one. They didn't make as many and are much harder to find from what I've read. If you do find them, they are more $$ than the M101 series. Yea I will never sell my M101A2's. Unless it's...

    M101A2-A3. Best Overall Military Trailer Ever??

    I use mine almost daily on my ranch. Dirt, hay, fencing, trash, scrap, ice, etc., etc. In fact used the tailgate as a workbench today grinding some things to paint. Any M101 series are excellent trailers. Im still amazed just how useful they are and how easily they are modified, if I ever...

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    Tractor Supply or your local farm supply store will have it. All natural and smells good to us, but the mice can't stand it and keep out. Been using it for years and have had excellent results.

    M101A2-A3. Best Overall Military Trailer Ever??

    There are dozens of different Military trailers. From really big to really small. Most are designed to carry only one thing. Water, fuel, ammo, shelters, wire, telephone poles, etc. A lot are big and heavy and impossible for most of us to use without a proper tow vehicle. (Yes, those would...

    939 EUC's ? Months after auction???

    Anyone ever find out why the code change? Especially after hundreds had already been sold.

    still confused with the alternators

    A Digital multimeter is required equipment if you own a CUCV.
