Check the switch
It should be a simple check to see if your switch is bad. Unplug the wires from it and then use a ohmmeter or test light to see if it is making a completed circuit all the time. If it is, there is your problem. If it isn't, you'll have to look elsewhere.
I just picked up a new truck from GL but have no idea of make or year of manufacture for it. The data plate (it looks like a replacement) has the following:
NSN 2320-00-077-1616
ID 04A-837710525-17745
Contract 06-70-C-0001
It looks like Carnac's thread is closed so what other options do I...
Selfridge Advice
I made a recovery of a trailer at Selfridge a couple of weeks ago and learned a few tips. First, make sure the GL folks know for sure what day you are coming so they can call the security people to give you clearance to get in. You will need to enter Selfridge from the main...
Do the air brakes on a military 5th wheel semi trailer work like a civilian system (air pressure disengages the brakes) or like the system for a M105 trailer (air pressure applies the brakes). Here is why I am asking - If I make a 5th wheel dolly trailer out of a M200 trailer, can I use it to...
It Arrived
Well, they emailed my Paid In Full invoice to me on Saturday so I can pick up the trailer. Funny thing is the invoice still doesn't show up on the GL website. I guess it doesn't really matter as long as I have one.
No Invoice
On GL under my invoices it just has the message to watch here for your "Official invoice. The one that is supposed to be there with the paid in full stamped all over it isn't there yet
The status of my EUC changed to "Customer Notified" on 2/18/09 but I haven't gotten any notification about my paid in full invoice. When I check the GL website for my invoice it isn't there either. Has anyone else had this happen to them where there is a wait for your invoice after the EUC clears?
That makes sense
That probably explains why I have what looks like a brand new box on an older style frame (single air hose, single dolly wheel). The data plate looks new also.
Ok - very odd. The NSN on the trailer data plate is definately 2510-01-237-2413. The NSN given by GL on the listing where I bought it was 2330001418050. I can't find that number anywhere on the trailer data plate.
Information Please
I have two vehicles I would like information on. The first is my M35A2 as follows:
Stock Number 2320-077-1616
Serial Number 4K-6219
Mfr Number 0125-31301
Contract Number DA-20-113-AMC-03416(T)
Model Number L-CA-D-54
It was a private party purchase. He bought it from a fire...
Has anyone tried to register a trailer bought from GL in Michigan without paying for the SF-97? I'm wondering if some combination of the Paid In Full invoice and a VIN inspection from the local Sheriff's Dept would do the trick for me.
I'm pretty sure one of them doesn't work. It is currently in my truck and I'm changing to an airshift. The 2nd one came from where I got my airshift case. They accidently sent me a sprag unit first and just told me to keep it. That's why I figured they weren't worth too much.
I am soon going to find myself with a couple of exta sprag transfer cases. Are they worth anything to sell or do I have a couple of 500lb boat anchors?
Ok - another horn question to go along with this one. My truck has both an electric horn and air horn. Are both supposed to honk at the same time? My truck was missing a lot of horn wiring so I'm trying to get it right again.
What I Did
I once cleaned a plastic snowmobile gas tank that was gunked up with old gas/oil mixture. I mixed up a batch of TSP and swished it around in the tank for awhile. It took care of all the old sludge without a problem.
