Mine matches the serial # on the dataplate..

Stupid me! I completely forgot to check etrailer. They have the exact Tintan part i need.... Should have gone there first..aua Thanks, Gents,,

Seems I have a wheel cylinder that has seized. Looked all over, called everybody, all to no avail. I have the NSN numbers and got the individual manufacturers part numbers from parttarget.com, but nobody (Pepboys, Autozone, NAPA, etc.) can get a part based on the listed part numbers. Any ideas...

Thanks. Although that's what I'm going to do (spacers), I'm concerned about undue stress and premature wearing of the bearings due to wheels sitting farther out than intended...

Thanks. That's exactly what I plan on doing as far as an axle/tire swap. Only issue I see is the JK wheels will require a 2" spacer due to the diameter of the dexter hub on the 3500 axle i was looking at. Not sure to what extent the spacer will put additional stress on the axle bearings/spindle.

Yup. The Pine Barrens can wreak havoc on everything. That fine sand/mud does a number on vehicles and trailer alike...Although I agree that the surge brake system is simple and reliable, its a matter of weight. Although my Jeep is supercharged, weight is always going to be an issue. Dumping the...

Definitely expo....Ditching the tires, axle, hydro system/actuator and going electric braking, Dexter 3,500 axle and fabricating a lid....

I searched before posting, but couldn't find anything. How do you handle filling out an SF97 on an M101A3 trailer when the data plate on the frame is completely unreadable? The auction listing had year/manufacturer on it so I can use that info, but what about the serial#? Even the listing stated...

I know what you mean. Its 5 hrs each way for me, but don't have much of a choice living in the NorthEast, where bases and trailers are few and far between....I'll post pics when I recover it late this week...

Yup, GL. Waiting on the invoice to show paid in full before making arrangements to go get it. Did yours require an ECU? The ECU for trailers seems hit or miss based on what I've read here...Good luck with your recovery...

Hello all, Have been lurking on hear for over a year reading, studying, taking notes and gleaning all the information necessary in preparation for purchasing my first M101A3 trailer. Living in a condo I couldn't buy one as I had no where to store and work on it. All I could do is read, learn...
