A question for those that have installed the intermediate cage is how easy is it to change the oil filter? Can you reach though the hole(s) to do the oil change or do you unbolt and remove it for service? How easy is to unbolt and drop? Just trying to decide if I want to go this route?

That trailer I think weighs empty 2900 right under most state limits of 3000 for mandatory brakes on trailer. I think your truck could pull it fine as long as you have a class 3 or better frame hitch. Take it easy and 30 miles on country roads is not a long haul. The trailer will probably be...

check this thread as it has a picture of a truck on its side with I think is the longer a2 cage https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?148974-Underbody-Protection-Kit&highlight=underbody

Yes, only the parking brake should be engaged with the handles. I did have a problem with a m105 with the same chassis with the brakes locked because of a bad relay valve and air in the tank locking the brakes. Easy fix as there is a small air tank on the bottom. Just open the petcock and let...

If you have excessive pressure in your cooling system, that is a bad sign. Need to check oil for water? Possible head gasket(s) cracked head or block, liner. Nothing good.

I would strongly advise you to do it on the 5 ton. My truck was incredibly crudy and I could not believe how much brown sludge came out. Even after flushing, I added a coolant filter and change it every year or so. I cut them up and still find brown sludge in the paper pleats. I use a filter...

There are some local rebuilders that still do it. You can ship it to these folks for rebuild and have it shipped back. They have done other pumps and gears boxes for me over the years I sold parts. Call them and see what they can do for you...

Not sure where you would mount it? Kind of tight in there unlike a 5 ton. I would say not necessary as long as the system has been thoroughly flushed including heater core and overflow bottle to remove all the crud; then properly refilled with fresh coolant. At least that is what I did and was...

Kind of interesting as I would think this model has the 4l80e with "park" and the parking brake. 2 system failures. Also, the military emphasis wheel chocks. Surprised that a set was not on it as an exhibit. Someone probably played with the controls........and it was not chocked. Hope this does...

Pat, I have those pliers and the hog ring clips look more like staples. I have used those on my m101/5 ropes to keep them from fraying and unraveling.

Just fyi on my research. These are not common items used in the automotive industry. Could not find anything like them on the internet or ebay on the search terms I used. Went to an old school automotive upholstery shop here that has been in business 40-50 years and was told they have only seen...

I bought an incomplete kit and mile marker was willing to sell me the items I needed direct. YMMV

I disassembled the bottom off one of my high back bucket seats to put a patch in the inside for a small rip. There are some circular clips that hold the fabric to the round seat frame all around, maybe 20. Several had rust/corrosion and just snapped in half. I can not find them listed in the...

The OE hydraulic winch from mile marker sits in its own cradle/bracket/built in front plate which uses 2 frame brackets not really frame extensions. Sounds like you might have a newer style for the warn electric. Check out this install brochure that shows the set up.

Was not sure which you had as chrysler had a 2 terminal and 4 terminal ballast resister in the day. Not sure on specs but they are cheap if you want to do just swap. Good luck!

Common Chrysler problem of the day. Any parts store has it. If the original is 2 terminal, buy the 4 terminal and instantly you have a spare. The 2 are independent. Ru12

I have one outside New Orleans.

They also need 3 or 4 cherry rivets per bracket.
