    M200a1 towing / brake system question

    Hello everyone, I am seeking clarification into the way the brakes work on a single wheel variant of the M200a1 to see if i understand them correctly. If im thinking right as long as the trailer doesnt have an air supply and the tank is drained it should roll freely correct? I am looking at some...

    M1102 marker light issues

    So I picked up a M1102 out of Albany last Friday. I’ve switch the harness pigtail over to civilian 7 blade and changed the rear incandescent bulbs to 1156 and 631. Also noticed the 90a wire broken with no end on it and after some searching I believe this to be a ground so I put a eyelet on and...

    Towing fifth wheel with cucv

    Yes it is a dog on hills.....went on a test pull yesterday evening. I'm going to put a 12v cummins in it when I find one reasonably priced. I'm trying to find info on the 6.2 to 12 valve swap but all Google comes up with is where hawsers have been swapped. I figure the 6.2 to cummins has to be...

    Towing fifth wheel with cucv

    I will be going hwy 98 along the coast. I'm able to maintain speed on hills unloaded currently but am aware hills will slow me to 35-40 I hope for this area.

    Towing fifth wheel with cucv

    It has factory temp gauge for coolant. Also it is a th400 not the 80e. No on the external trans cooler though. It and an oil cooler are on the list to add soon. I'm using the 16k Reese fifth wheel with rail system

    Towing fifth wheel with cucv

The truck is a former USAF flight line truck. Non turbo 6.2 auto with 4.10s Crew cab long bed. I know it'll be...

    Not new but finally got my first MV so just doing a reintroduction.

    I will get you guys more pics on Sunday once I get her home. This one will stay a long bed. No plans to bob it as I'm not a fan of how they look with a short box. Will keep the green for now at least. It does look tougher in green. Thanks for the compliments yall.

    Not new but finally got my first MV so just doing a reintroduction.

    Hello yall, I am the proud new owner of a former USAF 1988 chevy V30. Not sure if you could call it a cucv or not as it is a crew cab. Unfortunately the dealer painted over the blue with green. I love the color it's just not correct for its branch of service so should I stay green or go back...

    M923A2 with M923A1 wheels?

    Sounds like it's not feasible to swap wheels. Maybe they just stripped the CTIS components off the wheels.

    M923A2 with M923A1 wheels?

    Being new to the MV hobby I've spent a couple of hours digging through the search archives and found some neat threads. But, nothing that have me what I was looking for. I know the CTIS can be bypassed by placing Schrader valves in the outboard side of the wheel? However the 923a2 I'm currently...
