    Deuce 4x4 with M105 reduced spring and air bag

    I think your right on track. I have put 8k lb in a m105 and it just sits on the secondary springs.

    Economical turn signal flasher repair option

    That wiring diagram is a m809 but the wire numbers should be the same on the flasher and signal switch

    Economical turn signal flasher repair option

    I used a Grote 44010. I chose it because it has a 12 amp rating so I wouldn't overload it when pulling different trailers. Been going strong since 2015 I'd check your wiring for shorts or maybe the flasher in and out wires are swapped. Come on by and I'll take a look at it for ya!

    Winter Diesel Fuel Issues?

    I run winter anti jell til about February. I'm just over the line in PA. I'm pretty sure PA only sells a biodiesel blend. Biodiesel has more water in it typically from the manufacturing process. Fuel never really un-jells. I've pulled my fuel filter on cold days, after noticing a power...

    S-280 Shelter. How do I get Cellular/Radio Reception Inside?

    Glad to hear that works so well. I was looking at the same system for my m348 trailer. Like your shelter, the signal disappears when the door is shut. It has a data plate on it that says it was painted with a radar reflective coating. It works! I installed a 12v car radio and used a cb antenna...

    Make it quiet. Lower decibel level M809

    I added a padded floor mat on the entire cab floor. It didn't help much with the sound but hopefully eith keeping the heat in this winter. I finally put a muffler on. Fit it in the mirror brackets. That made a noticeable difference in sound. Jones 5050xl A couple peterbilt clamps and poly...

    Behr Paint Jobs- Show me your MV's

    I've been seeing alot of the paint is now labeled "paint and primer". Not sure there is really a difference. I use an oil based primer with good results. The rustoleum red resty metal primer on steel and self etching primer on aluminum. Just painted my M348 last weekend with a harbor freight hvlp.

    All 5-tons: Heavy Duty Torque Rod Ends

    https://www.eriksmilitarysurplus.com/torodendfor52.html Also has a press tool. I've been keeping a close eye on my torque rods. The rubbers are starting to look bad. I may just weld bars across mine and wait for one to fail. Not ideal but I'm not looking foreward to this job.
