    M-101 wheel and tire question

    Hey, that trailer looks familiar! ;) Those tires are 9x16 STA (specialty Tires of America) Super Lugs. They are still manufactured. Here is a link. http://stausaonline.com/military/index.html Citizensoldier owns the other trailer in the picture with the same tires. He has a source near him that...

    Finger pinchin' @$&!

    The handle on my hood is a frame handle, came off the front end. Also, there are two expanded metal covers on the grill. The bottom one is not used if you are running a winch. Dunno why some trucks have them and some don't. (Notice the satellite dish I added to the truck on the right? :):))

    Looks great Kevin. [thumbzup] [thumbzup] That's got to make a noticable difference in your final gearing too.

    Battery drain

    Put the re-rebuilt alt in today. Good news is it was still covered under warranty. All systems go. No more lingering gen 1 light when key removed. The short must have been in the alternator itself. We'll see how long it lasts. I hate electrical problems........

    Nice Work! Looks great! Is it more responsive now, since shedding a few pounds and only powering one rear axle?

    Battery drain

    I got it when the government released the vehicle. The wiring is correct. Anything is possible but I doubt it. When I had them both rebuilt, they had never been 'opened' before. The condition of the alts corresponded with the milage of the truck as well, which also leads me to believe they were...

    Battery drain

    Sorry, looong post. Update and new issue. I hate electrical problems! aua I never did have a chance to trace the wiring to find the drain on the batteries, however, it was not the rack in the steering column or the ignition switch. I tore down the steering column when I put in a new lock...

    EGT Thermo Coupling Location????

    As long as we're showing pictures.... I put in dual probes. I can monitor the front 3, and the rear 3 cylinder eg temps separately. Hewitt components, no power needed except to light the gages.

    My new M1008

    Yup, you got a good deal on that truck, congrats. Are you going down to get it Tuesday? I may be going down to pick up a 101 trailer for citizen soldier. Will the Gen. Jims guy be there too?

    Slave receptacle

    I need to replace a 2 pin slave receptacle with the newer style single pin receptacle. Anyone have an extra they can part with? Thanks.

    DRMO closings

    Selfridge is slated to send their warehouse items to Ohio as well. However, at this point in time, vehicles will still come through them. The guys there are just as amazed at the decision in doing this. Management tells them GL will make more money this way. :cookoo: This brings up a...
